While my 950 is still on its way to me, I have used a technique similar to gonk’s on my Onkyo for quite some time. I imagine the principles will hold true for the 950 as well. Each input has certain parameters that can be adjusted and stored. Instead of constantly going through parameter adjustments on the same input, I use a video/audio input for one set of preferences, and an audio only input for another set of preferences. I merely chose the video input I wish first, and if I want the alternate set of audio parameters, I then select the proper audio only alternate input.

I am beginning to think that, with so many devices, and the only common point of communication with them being infrared remotes, that an extremely well designed remote with plenty of macros, or a properly programmed and infrared capable ‘palm’ device will do for sifting through all the adjustments necessary for the various modes we in which we will wish to operate without shuffling through half a dozen remotes and going through a dozen keystrokes on one or more of them. Also, if one has multiple timed events to take place while away, a programmed palm device could be set up to send the right signals to various devices at the right times, including passwords and other information that may normally have to be manually input.
