Denon 3808 loses audio/video for a few secs?

Hello all. I've had the Denon 3808 connected to my new Panasonic AE3000 projector and for the last month all seems well playing the Xbox, PC, and Wii through the receiver.

I thought it was time to have a HD Comcast box connected as well. The picture looks great; however, I noticed that the Denon audio/video cuts out every so often, like it is trying to switch inputs. This also started to occur even playing the xbox with cable box off - is this possible? Does the Comcast box still try to communicate with the Denon through the hdmi connection even with the cable box off?

I've reconnected my Comcast cable box using seperate component video and digital audio instead of using hdmi cable. The loss of video issue stated earlier STILL happens!! Anybody else experiencing this?? I thought I had it fixed by not using Hdmi.

Now, I'm not sure if its the Denon or Motorola boxes. I'm pretty sure its not the projector.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Thank you very much in advance.

I don't know that I can help much, other than to say that it seems fairly common with the new receivers. My new Onkyo 876 does it with Satelite and DVD. I can't remember it happening with the X-Box yet, but it happens with the other inputs. Everything, video and audio will blip, just like you said, it's like it's trying to switch inputs or formats and then it will come back up after a second. I've seen it reported on the forums by other people also.

I'm only using component video for everything since I have an older Mits RPTV, but using a mixture of optical and HDMI for audio and it does it on both.
