Am I correct in concluding that the 990 works fine in all modes when all the speakers are set to SMALL, so one always uses the 990's bass management, and one does not use BYPASS? Reading all of this about bass management problems has me confused, because I did not think I had any problems, at least for my own set-up. Now I feel like an A/V hypochondriac! I believe I use my system the way Gonk describes he uses his. Every mode that I use seems to work as it is supposed to for this configuration. Even 2-ch analog sources (phono and tuner) get proper bass, and I don't hear voices coming from my sub!
