Just updated my 990 to the new software. Done in about 10 minutes via USB.

Great instructions from outlaw:) They could not be any better!!!

I wanted to start setting up my 990, but the instructions state to have all components hooked up before starting proramming. I wanted to get a head start as I have a few items on order. Can I start or do I need to have everything hooked up first?

Question on the volume............

Is 0dB no volume? I dont want to hook it up and blast the spakers. I am new to the quality stereo stuff and couldnt find an answer in the instructions. Why is there negative and positive dB?

I plan on running the following:

990 into behringer mx882. Mx882 to powered mackie srs1500 sub. Mx 882 to Crown 202. Crown 202 to 2 - 10" 75 watt pa speakers. I am waiting to order 3 jbl eon 15" as they will replace the 75 watt pa speakers as my mains and center. The 75 watts will possible be my rears.

I will be using a blu ray and xbox 360 for inputs via hdmi/dvi monster cables. I will be outputting to an Epson w6 projector via dvi/hdmi.

Will I need additional cables to process the sound from the bluray and xbox to the 990? From reading prior posts I belive I will need the following: I can run the component cable from the xbox to the 990 and run the component and hdmi from the bluray. I dont need sound to the projector. The xbox will not allow hdmi and component. it is one or the other I believe.

Any help is appreciated. Looking forward to firing this bad boy up!
