Pat, If you are listening to a DVD that only has DD, then you cannot go to DTS because the 950 senses that it is not present on the disc? (guessing). Also, CR surround is a 6 channel surround. If you have the 950 set up as 5.1, then the CR surround formats should also be shut down by the 950.
Patrick, the SAT source can be programmed manually to accept any command from any remote. Follow the 950 manual's instructions on manual learning of commands.
1. press SAT and SEL buttons simultaneously until the orange LED and the SAT button turn on and remain lit
2. on the 950 remote...
Patrick, I agree with your assessment of the 950 almost totally. I also have a low hiss level. I also love the sound. However, I also like the remote. I have not had a remote controllable audio system before (older NAD classic system for years) and I am really enjoying the remote. At this time...
David, wait until you have had the Outlaws for awhile. I was also at first delighted. Now I am giddy almost to the point of constant celebration. Having always been a 2-channel aficionado, I find my 950 outstanding in all sonic respects. Being new to surround sound, I am awestruck at what I have...
Kevin, the faint hiss in my system was always after listening to a source. I checked it this way because others had said that the hiss only began after changing sources. Mine is very quiet at all times with the Parasound, but no so with the Yamaha. To turn on the 950, just press any of the 8...
By the way, for me the remote does what it should, and although I live about 40 miles from the nearest metro area, the tuner works well. It is clear and detailed, and picks up stations cleanly as far away as Madison, WI (100+ miles southwest) and Rhinelander, WI. (130 miles north). This is...
Kevin, I had no hiss unless I turned the 950 to +10 and listened within about 6 inches of the speaker. This was with my Parasound amp and amp gains set to max. The Parasound had a blown center channel, (which I didn't know because I only used it for 2 channel before I got the 950) and while it...
YW Patrick.
Gary, my 950 does not make any sound when switching sources. Also, I have a Panasonic RP51 dvd player and have always acquired sound in about a second, even when the trailers are in Dolby Digital 2.0 and then the movie comes on in 3.2.1.
Patrick, do not use the SL9000 manual. I...
RAF, nice to see you posting again. I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Patrick, I also had a problem getting my Panasonic DVD to work with the 950 remote. I solved this by manually learning each command from the DVD remote. It took about 15 minutes to program the 950 remote after I got used to...
My 950 is sweet! Unfortunately, I had a blown channel in my power amp (Parasound) and was given a Yamaha receiver as a loaner while the amp is fixed. I had no hiss with the Parasound, but when I hooked up the Yamaha as an amp, the hiss was very noticeable at 3 feet away. I thought "oh no!", but...
