    PCM-Bitstream??

    Okay, sounds good...while i had it with pcm which wasn't showing dolby it was saying "prologic" but when it's playing correctly it will show "dolby digital" when i had it set for bitstream... whenever a disc has DTS i set it to that and the receiver will show "DTS" even when it was set at PCM.

    Powering on system with receiver? how to?

    I will end up getting the Harmony 880...ive seen some pretty good deals on the unit! I really like the RF capabilities of the 890...it would be fun to have the AV equipment "hidden" but not worth the $$$ to be that different :)
