I received my new 1050 today. I connected a pair of Axiom M60ti speakers to the front channels, using Kimber cable, and an Axiom EP350 sub. The 1050 was setting about three inches away from my televison on a Lovan audio rack. I was listening to two channel stereo when I turned the volume up slightly (to 50) and the televison turned on. The receiver was not connected to the TV, VCR, DVD, cable or satellite in any way. I thought "the codes for my television must already be known to this remote." However the tv did not come on when using the power button..it came on when I pushed the volume button of the remote. It wouldn't come on everytime I used the volume button..just about every other time. At this point I didn't think to much of it because I hadn't even programmed the remote yet. The third time this happened I let the tv come all the way on. The picture was totally pincushioned (warped in at the middle on both sides). The distortion was so bad I couldn't see the top or bottoms of the images on screen i.e. an image of a basketball game cut the players off at the shoulders on top and the knees at the bottom. The image quality was also very poor when it used to be great. I went through all my connections on every video channel on my tv and everything was normal. The only differnt factor in the equation was the 1050 sitting next to the tv. I have a Pioneer Elite receiver that has set in the exact spot for two years with no problems at all. I moved the 1050 off the rack and into the box it came from so I can send it back to Outlaw. My tv a cn35d90 Toshiba (35 inch tube) is still damaged. I have turned it off for hours, unplugged it, plugged it back in and done everything I can do but the image distorion and damage is still there. I've called Outlaw three times and left messages but its been seven hours now and no return call. Needless to say I am very unhappy with the 1050 and will return it asap. I bought it based upon the reviews I read and, for me, it looks like it was a mistake. I hope the tv repair bills aren't very much.
