It's definitely one of the things that has bothered me. I was surprised, actually, that the 1050 (&950) doesn't have this, as the majority of receivers do. I actually find myself walking over to the couch and picking up the remote to change input sources, even when I'm right next to the thing, because it's quicker than hitting the up/down buttons. Annoying. Even a knob for input selection would have been better.

OTOH, it's been made very clear that the Outlaws spend far more time on the sonic quality of their products than they do on UI design. This is a Good Thing, but it'd be nice if the put a tad more effort into the interface, though.
