Pesky DTS problem with RSP-1068
Hi all,
I used to post here under a different name but I've been away for a while. I've been simply enjoying my system and have had no upgradeitis in nearly two months (!)
Now to my problem. My DVD player is a Pioneer DV-363 which is connected to my RSP-1068 (firmware rev 1.1.7) via COAX cable. Whenever I watch a movie in DTS and then pause for any length of time, I lose all audio when I resume. I actually have to power off the DVD player and power on again to get sound back :M . This only happens when watching the DTS track. The same movie's Dolby Digital track works fine - I can pause and resume to my heart's content with no problem. Troubleshooting shows this problem to be consistent with any DVD with a DTS track - Behind Enemy Lines, Pirates of the Caribbean, War of the Worlds, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Stealth are all recent examples of this behavior. Initially I suspected the DVD player, but then I remembered that there was no such problem when the same unit was connected to my old entry-level Pioneer receiver.
Needless to say, I'm stumped. Other than this specific issue, my system works flawlessly and I could not be happier with it. That said, this is frustrating, because I prefer DTS to DD.
And so I now humbly submit this problem for your consideration and advice. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
