I recently updated the software on my RSX-1055. I have my Comcast HD cable box connected to my receiver via the digital audio out of the box to a digital input on the back of the receiver. Now whenever I turn on my cd player or my heater turns on or I turn the lights on in the adjacent kitchen, the audio blanks out for a second. I have my receiver on a sperate circuit from my cable box. When I am playing a DVD via a digital connection I have no problem. I have no problem with the analog input but it's not Dolby Digital. I don't recall if this was a problem before I updated the software twice.Any ideas?

Depending on the version you went from, the update could have effected how the 1055 locks onto a digital signal. It might have helped you realize a ground issue that's always been there.
Any reason the cable box is on a different circuit? That's the first thing I would remedy. Assuming you are running a coaxial digital cable? Same thing with an optical? You might also need a cable ground isolator to go on your coax cable coming into the cable box. In any case I would be concerned that so many things can effect the signal that way. You might have an outlet wired wrong somewhere in the house.

I've always had my video and my audio separated and on two dedicated 20 amp circuits. In my attempt to trouble shoot the problem I moved the power to my cable box to a different circuit altogether. It did not resolve the problem. I am connected via digital coax. I had the electric company out to the house to check the power coming into the house and everything is fine as far as voltage is concerned. The cable box has only a two prong plug. I might need a coax ground isolator. Where can I get one?Comment

Parts-Express above has a nice one for around $10 or so.

You may need a "better" Digital cable. I had a similar issue, replaced the cable and it went away.Comment

Thanks, I switched the better quality digital coax cable from my DVD player with the one connected to my cable box. It seems to have fixed the problem and I do not have the problem with my DVD player and the inferior cable.Comment

So when I first set up my HT I had a terrible Ground Loop Hum. With the help of this forum I purchased the Jensen Isolator and all things were great. I connected the isolator directly to the cable outlet in the basement/HT and the hum was gone. I even "think" it improved the picture. (?)... -
I am trying to hook up Motorola digital cable box DCT2500 to my Marantz SR8300 receiver. I connected digital out of the DCT2500 (did not have optical out) to the digital in of the Marantz and it plays fine. THe only problem is that even when the program is listed on the TV as Dolby Digital, the receiver... -

When TV goes to digital I get the fact that people who use an antenna as thier only source will be affected but what about these situations:
1) You get your signal from the cable company but and its an older TV and DO NOT use a set top box, what happens then? What if you TV is a digital...
