I've also noticed with the component connection from the DVD to the 990; when watching movies or concerts I do not have the option of selecting Dolby Digital EX, Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES or Neo:6. Are these features not applicable through a component connection. I noticed they were available when connected with the HDMI to DVI cable.
