Got it! Wondered how 'matrix' could be better...it's not, it's the same and great.
Very impressed so far with 2-channel and upsampling is very nice...7.1 with dvd-audio just stunning....only clips of movies and I just laugh at what you get for the money even if you are a sparse-user like me...lots of things for everyone....trying new back-up 0ppo 971 and comparing to my denon 1600 (old farooj vs. new farooj)...lots of fun..if you don't mind...what is your sub setting for movies with spk/small..just wondering....and thanks again...I can't tell you how close I came to losing everything but can tell you the 990 is great...no going back!
