Hi All,

Just got my 990
Right now I'm just running 2ch and I have a few questions.

Should I be able to turn off all preamp outputs except L/R front? The only choices I get for the SR/SL size is Large/Small, "None" is not available. For SRB/SLB and Sub "None" is available. Front panel display always shows four speaker icons at a minimum.

From an audio viewpoint, are the analog inputs associated the with the Video 1-5 inputs the same as the "fixed" analog inputs ie. CD,Aux,etc? Yeah, I paid extra to get the "etc" input

I'm also experiencing the "Bass Boost" behavior when changing crossover freqs. This appears to be tied to how you cycle through the Sub setting.

L/R+Sub > None = Bass Boost with xover changes
L/R+Sub > LFE Only > None = No Bass Boost

It appears that I cannot use a sub with an analog input. I get full-range out of the sub. With a digital input it works as expected.

L/R size = small
Sub = L/R+Sub
Input = Analog
Surr Mode = Stereo

Output = Full-Range out of sub

Overall, the 990 sounds great and I really like the flexibilty. However, my confidence gets a little shake due to some of the apparently strange behavior. Kind of makes me wonder what else might not work as expected if I don't cycle through the menu choices in a certain way. Of course it may be my expectaions that are at fault

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
