Hey Gonk,

1) Yes, I have sound and watched the movie.

2) I can't recall. I wasn't sure that I wasn't getting DD and just an incorrect display on the FP.

3) Nope, I switched back and forth on that hoping that I would have three choices.


**** STUPIDITY UPDATE****

Somehow I had changed the input configuration from what it had been previously set at. So I had forgotten that DVD is NOT Optical 1 - it is optical #2. Since both the DVD and the HD Dish receiver were optical 1, the 970 defaulted to analog for the DVD player. Makes sense.

Sorry for the dumb post.

All systems back to normal.
