I absolutely love my 990/7125 combo. I finally have my HT complete and accessing the menu is driving me crazy. I am using 1 DVI and 1 Component connection from my equipment to my projector. I hooked everything up and after running all the wiring, I found that I couldn't acess the on screen menu with the DVI input because the 990 was set to S-Video from my old setup. I had to literally bring my projector to where my gear rack is and connect a composite cable. Then I had to literally project an image onto a wall to see the menu and setup everything. Luckily my projector didn't get damaged when I had to place the thing next to a sink in the back of my HT. I made sure I hooked up a second DVD player with component video so I could acess the onscreen menu if need be. I tested it out a while ago and it seemed to work fine with the component video. Yesterday, I wanted to tinker with some settings and when I try and acess the onscreen menu with the component, it just cuts to a black screen and my projector no longer gets a video signal from the pre/pro. Now I don't know how to acess the onscreen menu once again.

I feel this is a very very poor design. Not only do I have problems seeing the on-screen menu, but I can't see volume and dolby/dts settings on screen. I have to turn all the way around and look at the face of the actual pre/pro to see what audio system or what the volume is at. Why would they setup a system like this? More and more people are running there components with DVI/HDMI and you can't do anything from the face of the 990. If they weren't going to let you use the on-screen menu using DVI, they should have at least let you acess the menu from the face of it. Can anyone explain why I can't acess my menu using the component video? What should I do?

Thanks.
