    <font color='#000000'>Shocker; To my knowledge, no receiver or preamp outputs OSD via 1080i signal for a very good reason, picture degradation. &nbsp;You should be able to access the OSD when you press stop on your DVD player though.</font>

    Yamaha vs. Outlaw receivers, anyone ?

    <font color='#000000'>3dB; Sorry but I don't recall your post. &nbsp;However, when comparing SNR make sure its an apples to apples comparison. &nbsp;Many amp companies rate their SNR @ full power to give the illusion of better SNR. &nbsp;I am not saying the Outlaw is a bad or noisey unit, but...

High capacitive, poor shielding) since...
