Just bought a bdp 550 blu ray player. I am using the 7.1 input on my 990. Just wondering if I need to calibrate the speaker level and delay on the bdp 550 or will the 990 do that already? I think I DO need to turn the sub up a little, but not sure about the delay settings. ?

The 990 will do speaker levels, delays, and bass management.

Be sure to set all speakers to Large with zero delay on the bdp 550. That will give the 990 all that it needs to work with.

Thanks! I think the sub is too low, so I guess I need to leave it at 0 and put all the other speakers at -10? It does not let you go above 0.

Does this apply to the Oppo BDP-83 as well? Do I leave the distance the same also on the Oppo? I have the 990 as well and just got the Oppo BDP-83. I have conntected the Oppo to the 990 via the 7.1 analog inputs.

Thanks and advise when you can. JD

Yes. The 990 will provide bass management, speaker delay, and channel trim for the BDP-83.

This reminds me - I've got an "Outlaw/BDP-83" setup FAQ partially written that I need to get posted...
