The problem here is if I forget, and play a DVD on the the input, instead of changing to "dvd" on the same digital input, it will play, but it wipes the mode preset, and next time I play a PCM source, it reverts to PL2.
For the satalite, we tried assigning two buttons, one (vid 1)for movies (DD), and anouther (vid 4) for the "CD" stations, (which do output PCM on dish network)with a stereo preset. Thing is, it works fine IF you change the video button BEFORE you change Sat stations (from PCM to DD). BUT, we forget often, and then when PCM returns, you get PL2!
This happnes to more than just a few of us, and it took a lot of experiment tation before I realized what was causing the PL2 to apear in my presets.
The same situation can occur if you play a PCM track of a DVD, then next time use a DD, then back to PCM later. No more "stereo" preset.
