Hmm, yeah I didn't think about using a macro; that sounds like the way to go.

My old Onkyo receiver (65W/chan, didn't even have DD 5.1 decoding; only Dolby Pro Logic) had auto-shutoff/auto-turnon for the TV/aux inputs, which were analog inputs. It worked flawlessly.

I guess in this case the complexity of the 950 works against implementing such a feature? Dunno.

In any case, yeah a macro sounds like just what I need, thanks.
