Ted-
It actually does have the ability to take the speaker level inputs which is what I think I'm going to do.....that will allow me to keep using the bypass. The minor down side to it, is unlike the rel, you can't also run a line level connection, so to deal with bass for home theater stuff you have to tell the attraction there is no sub and just have it send the .1 channel to the front left and right speakers. It's not really that big a deal ,I think because I'm not that much of a nut about getting every last bit of sound from movies and I'm assuming I'll still get some good bass when needed their. Plus I'm getting the "benefit" of getting by with pretty nice 2 channel sound from the attraction without adding a seperate pre-amp.

HowdyI understand. I've made similar compromises in my current situation. I really want pure audio to sound the best and audio for video comes second.
Do you use the remote that came with the Attraction? I have a Harmony 676 that I use for my system and it almost works for the Attraction. I still have some reliability problems with source select tho.
Ted-
I just got one of the cheap generic remotes (I am forgetting the brand actually, although I think it's the theatremaster MX-150?, it's the one that sunfire uses and you can see it on the web site). It's only about a 100 bucks but has actually worked great for the attraction....I programmed the passthroughs which required several pushes on the attraction remote as macros so I have it programmed for whatever I want. The attraction remote and manual were a bit of a nightmare as you well know.
