kappa7krazy Gunslinger Registered: 05/17/06 Posts: 29 Loc: Idaho	Hello all. I have recently developed a problem where the outlaw will not recognize the mic when performing auto setup. Every once in a while I can get it to work but most of the time I get an error message saying that either the mic is unplugged or the speaker is not connected. Is this a problem with the mic or the 990? I have even held the mic right in front of the speaker and I still get the error message. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian.

kappa7krazy Gunslinger Registered: 05/17/06 Posts: 29 Loc: Idaho	Thanks for the suggestions. I think it might be the cable as well. I'm hoping that it is not the input jack because I believe my warranty is up and from the few pictures I have seen of the 990's insides, it doesn't look very easy to get a soldering iron in there. What are the chances of just purchasing a new mic from outlaw? Brian

They steered me towards Sherwood but they are also out of stock. I actually used my Audyssey mic from my Onkyo and the results for distance and DB were accurate according to my meter. Tried looking on the net for a replacement but all were too $$$. The Radioshack meter was cheaper than a new mic. _________________________ 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
