Narrative:

Inbound to lax we were cleared for the civet arrival. We reviewed the arrival chart and the ILS runway 25L and the NOTAMS for runway 25L. About civet intersection we were told to cross denay intersection at 8000 ft or above and were cleared for the runway 24R ILS. The first officer was flying so I reviewed the runway 24R chart and the NOTAMS for runway 24R. I then set up the radios and computer for runway 24R and looked up and saw the first officer had intercepted the localizer and GS and was descending on the ILS, yet he was at about 7850 ft at denay and should have been at 8000 ft. Nothing was said by the controller. With all the NOTAMS and radios to tune I felt that we were not given enough time to do everything, besides set up the cockpit and acknowledge traffic in our area. In the future when we are that close to a crossing restr, with that much traffic around us, I'll make the crossing restr first, then tune and identify the radios. Changing runways that close to a busy airport has never been a safe operation.

Title: B767 MISSED XING RESTR AT DENAY INTXN.

Narrative: INBOUND TO LAX WE WERE CLRED FOR THE CIVET ARR. WE REVIEWED THE ARR CHART AND THE ILS RWY 25L AND THE NOTAMS FOR RWY 25L. ABOUT CIVET INTXN WE WERE TOLD TO CROSS DENAY INTXN AT 8000 FT OR ABOVE AND WERE CLRED FOR THE RWY 24R ILS. THE FO WAS FLYING SO I REVIEWED THE RWY 24R CHART AND THE NOTAMS FOR RWY 24R. I THEN SET UP THE RADIOS AND COMPUTER FOR RWY 24R AND LOOKED UP AND SAW THE FO HAD INTERCEPTED THE LOC AND GS AND WAS DSNDING ON THE ILS, YET HE WAS AT ABOUT 7850 FT AT DENAY AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT 8000 FT. NOTHING WAS SAID BY THE CTLR. WITH ALL THE NOTAMS AND RADIOS TO TUNE I FELT THAT WE WERE NOT GIVEN ENOUGH TIME TO DO EVERYTHING, BESIDES SET UP THE COCKPIT AND ACKNOWLEDGE TFC IN OUR AREA. IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE ARE THAT CLOSE TO A XING RESTR, WITH THAT MUCH TFC AROUND US, I'LL MAKE THE XING RESTR FIRST, THEN TUNE AND IDENT THE RADIOS. CHANGING RWYS THAT CLOSE TO A BUSY ARPT HAS NEVER BEEN A SAFE OP.
