Yup, that fixed it! Thanks David-I appreciate the help.

Great idea- I will check that tonight. Thanks

I love mine- haven't noticed any clicking problems. Just wish I could figure out how to shut off the rear power outlets using the remote.

Phil: I have plugged the fan into both of the rear power outlets and neither one shuts off via the remote. I was hoping that there was some trick to it that wasn't obvious in the manual...any body know for sure how it is supposed to work?

The manual says that the rear power outlets on the Onkyo 797 are switched and can be controlled by the on/standby button on the remote. I can only get the two outlets to shut off if I manually push the power (on/off) button. Am I doing something wrong? I have the fan im my cabinet plugged...

After months of research and debate, I finally made the decision to go with the Sony 40XBR700 instead of a plasma or RPTV. It gets here in 4 weeks. Do I really need a progressive scan DVD, since the Wega has what appears to be a built in line doubler as well as 3:2 pulldown? Or would a...
