-- Yeah, I was oddly (and disproportionately) pleased with myself that evening...



Not me. Sorry. I don't have any of the specific titles you've mentioned, but none of the discs I've run through the 950 have exhibited this behavior. My second 950 was, I believe, set to PCM on the CD input last summer, but the red and blue dot units have been left on autodetect.

Gonk- I have to admit, I just re-set up how the remote controls the 950, and I like it!

DVD => coax1/auto (DD/DTS, etc)
CD => coax1/PCM
Aux1 => opt/PCM (CD burner)
Aux2 => coax2/PCM (DAT deck)

So, I guess I can still wish the signal lock issue wasn't there, but I guess with this setup, I won't have the problem anymore either.

When you guys are talking about setting the digital cd input to "PCM", I assume you mean setting it to stereo, as I see no PCM option in the setup menu.

We're referring to the option to override the "autodetect" mode of the digital input and "lock" it to one format (page 31 of the manual, "Surround Data Format Lock") -- the options are "auto" (the default), Dolby D, DTS, or PCM.

Kevin,
First I want to say that you have awesome taste in music. Not too many are into UFO and Black Sabbath these days. I just went to the Rush 30th anniversery tour. It was great. Just ordered tickets to the Queensryche show in the Moore theater. They are doing Operation Mindcrime in its entirety.

I have the Pioneer 47ai and have dropouts while playing DVDs. It's pretty frustrating. I'll have to try locking the source after I find the manual. Just moved to a new house.

I wonder if there is something funky with the Pioneer DVD players?
