Hello everyone!

I'm just in the process of configuring my 990 as a video switcher, between a high def sat signal and my Oppo 981. My question is: does the 990 have to be turned on, in order to view either the sat box or the Oppo signal? I assume the answer is yes, but was hoping I could get away with leaving it off.

All this modern technology is wonderful/powerful, but sure makes for complexity where setup is concerned.

Thanks in advance,

John
