Scared myself!! I have a Panasonic CP-72 DVD player feeding into the Outlaw 950 pre-pro all set up for 6 channel analog playback.

Yesterday, I had to do some major rewiring to relocate my system. Upon trying it in the new location, I could not get 6 ch. analog to give me anything but a stereo output.

I tried everything it seemed, and then I removed power from the whole system, totally unplugged. I left it that way for a few mintues, plugged it back and now everything is normal.

I think the logic in the player was scrambled. I was able to play other multi-channel sources through the pre-pro which kind of left the DVD player as the culprit. Unless the specific 6 channel ciruitry was not acting normal in the Outlaw.

Seems I had similar problems before on digital equipment and found power removal and reapply as adedquate aid for screwy performance.

You might have hit that bug in the 950 that requires you to be in a multichannel digital playback mode to get a multichannel analog playback mode

The CP72 has a history of occasionally getting confused. Unplugging it usually does the trick.

Yes, they do on occassion. If it was not so much bang for the buck I would trade up. But at the price I paid it is practically disposal if it becomes obsolete or gets permanent Alzheimers.
