One option (which won't help any for seeing the volume or format change while watching a movie) is to run a composite or s-video cable from the 950 to the projector, thereby getting you access to the OSD when desired. Cheaper than stepping up to a Rotel 1068.

Also, one of the 950's beta testers (RAF) set up his equipment racks with the pre/pro (originally a Denon receiver, then a 950, and I believe he's now using a Lexicon MC-8) on the bottom shelf, so that it peeked out just below the screen. It allowed the screen to cover all of the other equipment (including his TV set) while still giving him access to the front panel display. It may not work for your equipment rack, though.
