Just wanted to bounce this off the fine folks here to get some ideas.

I hooked up my 990 today (impressive so far!) and when I played an SACD my channel levels were all wacky. The rear was twice as loud as everything else. I found this odd since my player is a Marantz DV-6400 which handles all levels, crossovers, and bass management itself. Those setting have not changed from my old receiver to the Outlaw but the rear channel is extremely loud.

I guess the question I have is, what impact does the channel setting of the Outlaw have on the direct analog inputs? I have turned the rear channels all the way down on the player but they are still too loud. If I turn them down even further on the Outlaw, it will effect everything else and I already have them set right for DVD/DirecTV/Xbox...everything else.

Thoughts? Is there something about the direct inputs I don't know.
