I am considering the purchase of a 976 and would like some input from existing owners regarding the configuration options for music.

I plan to use one set of inputs to connect a phono preamp. Will it be possible for me to set the default of that 976 input to Analog Stereo.

One of the other inputs will be used for a Blu Ray player. If I want to minimize use of the DSP when playing CDs in the Blu Ray player should I plan to turn off the DSP in the 976 or just put the 976 in Stereo mode.
