I've noticed a couple things with my 970 and I'm wondering if others have had these issues.

1. When using the test tone, at first some speakers had no sound and then all of a sudden they did. After that, all speakers were fine after numerous tests. Yes, I did check my wiring and everything was firm in place.

2. With an analog audio input, when switching between stereo modes, a couple things happen. First, like the test tone, 5 speaker stereo wouldn't work the first time around. Next test it worked and has worked since then. Second, the bass seems to kick in through the subs a few seconds after hearing sound from my speakers.

Is this normal behavior and is the 970 just buggy?
