The only negative aspect of DVD-Audio, as implemented in the RP91 (and many other DVD-A models) is the lack of bass management in DV D-Audio mode. (DVD-Video bass management works just fine.) The 5.1 analog outputs of the player do not properly route the lowest frequencies to the subwoofer, resulting in a rather lackluster sound. Luckily, OUTLAW AUDIO introduced the ICBM, a bass management unit specifically designed to handle situations like those outlined above. It delivers on its promise and makes DVD-A a viable option for me in my growing audio arsenal.

some new DVD Video features that intrigued me, including an auto-aspect sensor that adjusts the picture to accommodate anamorphic and non-anamorphic titles without having to switch settings on my Sony VW10HT projector. (Note: This feature only works when the DVD's are encoded properly, which seems to be about 90% of the time.) It also scales non-anamorphic titles in a way that gives new life to these presentations.
