Onkyo 575x DTS Skipping (1 Viewer)

[ChrisGlass]

Hello all,
I'd just joined and would like to say hi to you all. HI.
I am having some problems with my receiver and would like some help. I have a Onkyo 575x, about 9 months old, that for some reason seems to skip when-ever I run a DTS movie. I should clarify that only the soundtrack skips, not the video. My current system is as follows:
Onkyo 575x
Toshiba DVD 2710
Paradigm Mon. 7's v2 mains
Paradigm CC370 center
Paradigm ADP170 rears
Paradigm PS-1000 sub v3
Panamax DBS500
32" television (hoping to upgrade to HDTV)
I have tried different DVD players but to no avail. I get the same response.
Thanks in advance.
Chris

If you have main speakers set to 'small' and have Cinema Re-EQ turned on, some (most?) dts soundtracks will have dropouts. Change either option and you're good to go. Onkyo's stance is that Cinema Re-EQ is a Dolby function, not intended for dts material.

Thanks for the help Baldemar. I will give it a try.

yep, I concur that Cinema re-eq is the culprit.

Not much to add to the thread other than to say that my 575x was having frequent dropouts on DTS material so I did a HTF search and turned up this thread. I checked last night and behold, the "Cinema Re-Eq" was indeed engaged. Setting it to "Off" cures the problem.

I didn't intentionally have it set to "On". It must have gotten switched somehow when I was rearranging equipment the other day. HTF to the rescue!
