The last sentence above is key. I didn't notice it in the manual 
and set MIC+LINE to ON, which was far from ideal. Someone on 
this list asked, "Why are you doing that!", I changed it, and 
life became much better.

Perhaps a table in the manual of which settings are remembered 
by mode would help.
