Did you try the composite video output?

Yes Sir, it still will not pass any video what so ever.

OK, just trying to help...

Disneyjoe, I stand corrected. I thought you asked about component cables. I could have sworn the manual said the OSD would pass threw the component cables. I finally found a composite video cable long enough and ran it from the composite out of the 990 to the composite in on the projector and everything worked fine. Still have a bad 'unbalanced' connection on the amp but the 'balanced' connection on that channel works. Ran the setup and everything sounds amazing. Looking forward to playing with it some more. So, does the OSD work with just components cable hooked to the projector or do I have to have a s-video and/or composite cable run also. Thanks for everyones help.

This is what the manual says and I quote:

"To use the OSD, the units must be connected to your display device using either the COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTPUT or S-VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. You may also view the OSD using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT, but the picture may blank temporarily when you activate the menu system. If both s-video and composite video signals are input into the Model 990, the OSD can be viewed only through the S-VIDEO OUTPUT jack".

Did I just misunderstand what I read?

Grimster,

If this is still not working, I think the menu needs a video signal for the menu. You may need to give your 990 a S-Video or Composite video for this menu, if you have S-Video input for "Video 1" then give your TV S-Video in. I don't think Composite video will work for the TV if you only have S-Video input, or the other way. Keep it straight for now, S in / S out or Composite in / Composite out.

OK what this is saying if you have Composite Video and S-Video are in the same Video input the the S-Video will take over. I have 1 Composite Video for the XM receiver that will upgrade it for S-Video output. So the two should be used ok, but not on the same input.
