The 950 does have some input-specific memory of the surround modes used previously, although it's not always the most intuitive. For example, my DVD input automatically goes back to DD+CRC for Dolby 5.1 mixes and PLIIC-CR for two-channel mixes (either PCM or Dolby 2.0). I have an auxiliary input set to the same digital input that I use for stereo CD playback so that I never need to cycle between the PLII setting and regular stereo. If I did not do that, I would run into the scenario Reardon describes of having to go back and forth between stereo and PLII at times. I do like the system that the new AVM-20 software allows -- it's a pretty slick approach to providing that flexibility.
