Gonk, thanks I'm sure that is the solution. So are you telling me that if I want to play a SACD that in order to place the 950 on the correct "input" selection if you will, I have to push the 6 channel direct button on the remote, but that making that same selection can't be made on the face plate of the 950 itself?

I guess I'm thinking that the 6 channel direct option should be like cycling through any of the other 950 inputs like Coax1, 2, Optical 1..4 etc.

Is this correct. Sorry for the probably niave questions, but I'm fairly new to this and this is my first real step up to good quality multi function HT equipment.

BTW, I do have the DVD hooked up to the 950 with a Digital Coax as well.

Thanks for your help. I hope I'll be listening to a little Fleetwood Mac tonight.

Joe
