Sound Interruptions on HDTV

I recently upgraded to a Sony Aquos HDTV, Sony Blu-ray player, Roku box, and a Yamaha RXV-465 5.1 receiver. Attached to the receiver I have the Blu-ray player in HDMI 1, the TV in HDMI 2 and the Roku box in HDMI 3. I get NO sound interruption when watching a Blu-ray DVD. When watching HDTV or non HD channels, there are constant brief sound interruptions that do not follow a pattern. When setting up the receiver I used the Yamaha microphone to set the speakers. I also have a Velodyne SPL sub-woofer and the 5 speakers are in the ceiling (3 in front and 2 in back). I have not yet tried any Netflix movies over the Roku box so I do not know if any sound interruptions exist in that venue. I am not very literate with respect to these home theater systems so if you can help me in layman's terms, it would be most appreciated.

Re: Sound Interruptions on HDTV

HDTV HDMI *input* should be connected to HDMI *out* of the receiver, not HDMI 2 input (outputs always connect to inputs, never input->input or output->output). The optical output of the TV should be connected to an optical input on the Yamaha (assuming you are viewing using the TV tuner, don't have a separate cable/satellite/OTA converter box). Select whatever source you connected the optical to when you want to listen to the TV.

On the TV menu, turn the TV speakers off if possible or turn volume all the way down.
