This summer was the worst in my area for thunderstorms, so I frequently shut the power down to the circuit my 950 is hooked up to, and I was also in the Hillary Clinton black out. The 950 never lost any of its settings. Not sure what settings the remote zone has other than volume and input source. I didn't notice any loss there either. My guess is it's your 950 unit that's to fault. Let us know what Outlaw has to say about it.
