Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler superbowl commercials, audio cutting in and out

Hello,
Well at least we werent the only ones. Were you on cable tv also ? which one ?

It was sorta embarrassing to have a superbowl party, and have 20 guests wondering what was wrong with the big screen tv, 5.1 speaker setup.

I did a little investigating and my cable box has 3 digital output settings, HDMI, Dolby Digital, Other. If I put it on Other then the reciever stays in PL II mode, doesnt cut out, but I can hear a change in the audio. It is like it is going from a regular stereo to a wide dispersion stereo. More than likely it is changing modes. If I have the cable box digital audio output on HDMI, or Dolby Digital, then the receiver cuts in and out , as mentioned in the first post. I tested this on General Motors commercial where they are singing all the old songs. It was in the first half.

Yea if I was a sponsor I would want some of my money back, but I dont know how many people were effected.

thanks

randy
