Priority settings for inputs in to each source. Example would be a digital cable box connected to Video 3 with analog and coaxial connections. You could tell that source to only look at it's analog input and coaxial 1 and set the priority to the digital signal and revert to the analog if no digital signal is present. Also it would allow you to not worry about scrolling through the other 5 possible inputs to get to the one that you need. Silly that each source lists all possible digital inputs. How many optical outputs does a DVD player have? Never saw one with 4.
My previous Yamaha would allow you to do this so I can't believe it's to hard. I feel the 950 is a much better piece of equipment from a hardware standpoint but they need to get a better logic programmer for the interface and control.
I hope Outlaw keeps track of this thread because they all seem to be good suggestions.
