Also, you might consider using the DVD player's "Digital" toggle button. I have one on the 2200 so I'm sure the 2910 would have it. That would ensure only an analog output from the player using SACD or DVD-A.

But the 1070's auto-polling would presumably switch from digital to stereo analog audio, not 7.1. That's my assumption of how it would work, at least.

Thanks for the response. After being able to spend some more time with the unit last night and using the info garnered here, my unit seems to running along very nicely. Yes, my Denon-2910 has the analog/digital selection button (just found last night) and the "7.1" button on the 1070 remote was a very intuitive inclusion.

I was also able to speak with Steve at Outlaw on a couple of other different issues. As others have said here, he was very helpful.

I'm most delighted to be an Outlaw once again. I bought a couple of M200's two years back that are running a pair of Bose 901's and they sound fantastic.
