I have received the new 976 and it passes 3D video fine. The new 976 had a rattle inside. I removed the cover and there was a 1/2" chrome screw loose. As I was looking inside, I noticed that one of the square IC Chips has 2 of the leads soldered together. I will have to take a photo and check with Outlaw to verify this is correct. I sent the 976 to Middle Atlantic Products for them to measure for a 19" rack-mount panel. It should be in their database within a couple of days. All of my equipment is rack-mounted.
