Thanks for the review link and the remote code. I ordered the Avia II DVD disk to fine tune my TV. I was pleasantly surprised to received audio on my TV through HDMI. For some reason I had it in my head that you couldn't receive audio withou HDMI 1.3a, but figured it out when I went to wikipedia. I have the spdif connected to the 990 and haven't hooked up the 7.1 channels yet. I only have two DVD-A discs, so no rush.
