>There is a solution included in the 950's manual that can work in certain cases when the signal format for a specific input is always the same (such as a CD input that always gets PCM audio, or a satellite receiver that always gets PCM or always gets Dolby Digital). In column 2 of page 31, there are instructions for "Surround Data Format Lock" that will override the detection process and always default to the specified format. This setting is input-specific.<

Perhaps I will pass this along to the fine folks at NAD, who insist that this "problem" can not be fixed on my 762.

This is the correct solution, and should be standard for ANY receiver or pre/pro that exhibits the lock delay.
