Thanks..the DV-59Avi decoders are pretty good and if I read my manual correctly, I can disable the audio settings from the player and the analog inputs on the 990 can have bass management, etc via an a/d back to d/a conversion. Because I am currently using HDMI/DVI connections to my projector, changing parameters of anything without an OSD easily available is a pain, so I am looking for a set and forget kind of setup..actually I want to set up for the future 7.1 and figure since I needed to use the analog ports anyway I would ask...
