Good info Josten. This kind of stinks though. How easy is it to overcome this? I turn my unit off every night after watching/playing it...
You hit the "late night" function twice, once the TrueHD track has been engaged. IOW, you can't do that with the preview beforehand, or even at the menu, as there's likely no TrueHD engaged yet. I keep forgetting to set my BDP to decode, so I don't have to deal with that anymore.

I think I'm going with the 7 channel Amp so I also have the ability to bi-amp my front speakers in the future if I want... Anyway, if anyone else has an opinion, I'd love to hear it, as I'm about to pull the trigger on 7700/886 Combo on the Outlaw site.
I'm with surveyor. I can see spending more to get more power. Passively biamping is a waste of your time as has been covered here countless times. I mean, if you ALREADY got the 7 channels, sure, why not I guess, but I sure don't get why you'd want to pay $500 just to be able to run more speaker wire. Spend it on something much more worthwhile, like room treatments.

That's my take, do what you want with it.

Trafo hum may be due to your environment/circuit and not in any way the fault of the electronics design. A noisy fluorescent ballast is a perfect trafo hum inducer. The majority of audio gear does not include a line filter (or at least not a very good one) on the input before the power transformer because they are very expensive components to include, relatively speaking.
