Thanks again for the help. Unfortunately, looks like you're on the mark real80sman. The line bending will hopefully turn out to be an issue for fix via the tv's service menu. Sadly, the issue with the video distortion is turning out to be problematic. Based upon your feedback, I tried video switching for the first time, and the distortion was severe, again when the sub kicked in. I tried switching my sub cable, but the distortion is caused using either balanced or coaxial connections, and also occurs when I switch the connection to the tv between composite and component. Have contacted Outlaw to see how to proceed, as it does seem that therein lies the issue, rather than with the EP500.
