blaineh,

What you have posted is the reason I run the optical cable from the DVD player to the DVD input and the coaxial cable from the DVD player to the CD input. Then, when you switch between inputs the decoding DOES follow the input. I also did this because I had issues with the FL/FR speakers cutting out when you would play a CD in a 2-channel mode and then play a DVD on the same player through the same digital cable to the same input on the 990. I have not tested this glitch since I upgraded the 990 last night.
