Back again...I left the 976 alone for a while. I decided to give it another try. So I get my inputs working and things are going well. I have a 2 apple tv's (one tidal streaming, and a 4k for movies. and a sony hd blu ray. Things were working but I didn't know why. Today, I notice my sub was not working....finally do a reboot and start over. when I do the audio test and the calibration the sub works fine. But now the sub turns on automatically, but doesn't have any output. The display shows stereo and sub...I don't have a clue...I have another email in to Outlaw...see what happens.
