I just sold my 950 and got the 970 on BF sale for essentially 50 bucks. I am running the 970 as I did the 950. I WILL have 5.1 and HDTV after Christmas but now it is essentially a stereo pre and svideo switcher.

My problems are:

1- I'm using the monitor out" to send program material back to the TV. Video works fine- but audio volume is barely present & unusable. (Note the audio signal to amp is fine).
2- The only exception to the above is that my "Video 1" setting is a VCR. The video signal is wavy & B & W. DVD, Cable box, iPod video all work OK.
3- The 12 volt trigger to the 750 no longer works.

Thanks as always for any advice.
