Hi,

I am new here. I just got my 990 pre about a week ago. I too am having a similar problem with the OSD and a component video from my Pioneer DVD player to the 990 to the HDTV.

It wigs out for a split second, then it appears on screen with the black background. IS this normal? It kind of bugs me that i don't have OSD overlaid on the DVD source.. for volume either.

It works fine for my Dish Network hooked up via S-VHS. The OSD is overlaid on the screen.
