This is going to be a silly question. I am currently a 990 owner. It's been great over the years but I'd love to get rid of the DVI and all the optical and coaxial cables in my system. I've been waiting to upgrade for a long time and I think I'm probably going to go with the 976. I don't think I would be running extra speakers in my ceiling so 7.1 is good enough for me. My question is regarding the 976 On Screen Display. Does the 976 have an On screen display? One thing that always bothered me about the 990 was that it did not feature an OSD. My gear is at the rear of my room so adjusting the volume requires me to turn around and look at the 990 to see where the volume is at. Adjusting the settings requires me using a 9 inch black and white TV that is attached to the 990. I really hope the 976 has an OSD. I always thought it was crazy that the 990 was such a great piece of audio equipment but I had to use archaic equipment to make adjustments. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

The 976 has an ODD. You can use the HDMI out for this.

Pardon my ignorance, what is an "ODD?" Thanks!

Sorry that was a Typo. It should have read
OSD for on screen display. I think you are messing with me. You know what I meant.

Great to hear! I assume this is with the volume as well as with setting up the system and assigning the inputs, etc. I would love to see some pics of the 976 OSD.

No volume on screen, only shows on the front panel while you make adjustments too.

There are screen shots of the OSD in the manual if you want to see examples. It is very utilitarian and geared towards system setup. The OSD does not overlay information on an input, when the OSD is active sound and video are muted.

Nope, not messing with you...really thought it was a new abbreviation for a function...allowing some type of OSD.

Damn! That's disappointing that they still don't patch the OSD over the video channels so you can see volume and other functions. It is nice that I can get rid of the black and white TV in my gear cabinet!

You would think that since it has been brought up many times for the other Outlaw processors that they would have addressed it by now. Even my 6 year old cheap Onkyo displays the volume on screen when it is being changed.
