Ok back again. I purchased the Pioneer BDP51FD with 5:1/7:1 audio. I hooked it up to the 7.1 and the coaxial audio on the 990. I am having problems with the video going through HDMI to DVI cable. I works direct to monitor but not through component in on t he 990 or the HDMI to DVI adapter.

One of the reason I got the Pioneer is for the 7.1 audio output. I had understood that this would transfer the signal via analog cables/input. I have tried several settings on the Pioneer, I assume should be PCM?

And do I understand correctly that you cannot assign the 7.1 audio via the 990 menu to other sources? When I set up processor for 7.1 I get sound out of only two channels. (center - right) and yes I have double and triple checked the hookups to ensure correct.

Help

Waiting for the 997 which hopefully will get rid of the rats nest of cables in the back. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
