To connect HDMI devices to the 990, you simply buy cables that have a DVI connector on one end and an HDMI connector on the other. Of course, if you do things this way, you're depending on the 990 to handle the audio for your programming. For me, I have my CD transport and BluRay player feeding the 990 via TOSlink fiber cables for audio delivery. I haven't bothered with setting up the 7.1 analog connections from the BluRay player since I rarely watch BluRay content and settle for humdrum ol' Dolby Digital sound. In theory, with the advent of the Outlaw 997 (and a lot of competing products already on the market), you'll simply need HDMI cables from the sources to your processor and then one HDMI out to the TV/projector/etc. Can't wait to see MIT start hawking $3000 cosmic ray shielded digital HDMI interconnects. LOL

Best,
