Now, this may be a old and tired question..but I've forgotten much..Tell me this, when I am using the 7.1 input path..the 990 still invokes "speaker setting" that I've set-up...i.e. those speakers that I've selected as large or small are still in play with the 7.1 input..Is that correct??? And crossover selection is still in play as well, eh? Setting the dvd player to all "large" and letting the 990 do its' thing seems to work best for me...
You've got it all under control, it sounds like. The 990 does apply channel trim, speaker delay, and bass management to the 7.1 Direct input. As a result, my recommendation for multichannel analog sources is to go into the player's setup and set the speakers to large, sub to on, channel trims to 0dB, and speaker distances to zero - the 990 will do its thing just fine.

I know a lot of people worried about the 990 being non-hdmi back when..but I think it was and still is a prescient decision..only now are we seeing some hdmi implementation on products and I beleive it will still be awhile for across-the-board application..But I am here to tell all that the 990 can do at least the hi-def audio part in spades. And the 7.1 direct feature has proved to be a God-send! I'm sure when/if Outlaw does go the hdmi route in a pre-pro or receiver, they will do it right in the quality and bang-for-the-buck department..Since I never have used any receiver or the 990 for video switching, it's going to be a long time before I even think of giving up on the 990. Hail Outlaw!
- HDMI's arrival on the market has been a very sticky mess indeed, and the 990 has done its job nicely for over two years now as the whole HDMI drama has played out around us all.
