Are you using DVI out to your TV? Remember that the 990 does not transcode anything to the DVI output. You will have to hook up a video output to your TV from the DVD out if you don't use DVI. The easiest way to do the video is to use the DVI connections. If your DVD player does not have DVI but does have HDMI there is an adapter to convert, but then you will have to connect an audio input to the 990.
