When I got my A2 I hooked it up to the optical input of my Sony ES30 and set for bitstream out. The sound would occasionly break up. It was very bad with any of the "Planet Earth" disc. I tried it on my brother's receiver and did not...

Someone else on another forum also suggested Zoom...I'll give it a try. As far as zoom ranges on projectors, most are very modest and give you very little range. It will cease to be a problem when I upgrade to a new projector one day.
