Chuck_Zag Gunslinger Registered: 01/04/06 Posts: 18 Loc: North Carolina	Ok I updated the software to the 5/2008 version. I have large reference Paradigm front speakers, that I will set to small to set the bass correctly. What else do you suggest?

What other settings do you have questions about? What sources are you using? (A previous post of yours mentions a Sony DVP-CX995V DVD player and a Hitachi 42HDS52A TV.) _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

I would shy away from putting any other heat source under an amplifier. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	The 990 runs reasonably cool, but as a general rule I'm leery of stacking an amp under or on top of anything if I can help it. Is the front open as well? _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	There are rack-mount ears available for the Model 2200, but for other stuff shelves are the way to go. Spacing would depend on the component. I try to keep at least an inch above my surround processor and several inches above my amp. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93
