But looking through the adjustment possibilities on this unit, I come away overwhelmed. I would consider it mandatory at this level for a compleat ISF calibration and setup, and hopefully the unit has like 5 presets for different source material.

There's flexibility, then again there's too much flexibility; in that for me, after a 3-month learning curve, it would take *me 20 or 30 minutes of set up time to watch a rented DVD movie.

It's an impressive unit. This is *not* a standard consumer piece, so I'm sure you're prepared for a serious learning curve. For the particular issue at hand, if you can't quickly figure it out, I'd flag it and move on to the next item. Bundle up all the stumpers at the end, and have Pioneer USA give a deserved walk-through on them.

(We all know that with hi-end Japanese consumer electronics, there are a bunch of features and controls that after experimentation, may easily be sidelined to 'OFF'. I have a JVC S-VHS deck that fits the bill of overly-complex and confusing.)

Patience and trial and error will be your best friend here.

And I'd sure like to hear any results down the line of experiments with different power cords.

Best of luck!
