I never thought of that, good point.
Unfortunately I don't think this is happening. My
receiver remembers the last decoding setting I had
on a particular input. On that input I never
choose Dolby Digital decoding, and you can't even
activate DD decoding unless it's actually
receiving a DD stream.
I usually have multichannel stereo decoding on
that input, and when I switch to it with the SB
off, that's the decoding format the receiver
remembers. And note that I usually turn on the
receiver first, switch to that input (which goes
into multichannel stereo and expects to receive
PCM according to the display) and then turn on the SB.
There has never been a DD stream on that input for
the life of the receiver.
As well, my DVD player input does not behave like
this. And the receiver does seem to mute the
sound until the decoder switches.
