AS to running cd into the 7.1, I am not sure. Others here have posted that the 7.1 bass management and the digital bass management works as intended. I am not so sure it does. I also do not know how those inputs will recognize the signal. I am getting more and more convinced that the digital input crossovers are not working as well. My pioneer on digital out to the 990 playing a standard CD gave nearly identical response curves on True RTA as my analog input CD...that is to say it sent a full range to the sub on stereo & upsample.
Capt, when you ran your sweep using RTA, were your mains off? I find it surprising you had full range sub signal using digital input.
I have confirmed BM is applied when using 7.1 analog input.
