Hi Gonk - Grabbed an older TV with an S-Video input and got my speakers setup. Auto setup didn't work - claimed it couldn't find the speakers - but all of the audio signals were firing - maybe a bad mic?

Is there no way to do the setup with an external display?

Got the 990 to detect he audio source on my BlueRay (LG) and my DirecTV DVR and DirecTV HD receiver by resetting them while it was on. I figured it wasn't detecting the sources - so I connected my iPod to the CD input and it found it quick - so I reset all of my other sources and it worked.

7.1 direct from BlueRay - better than the optical?
