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
