Hey folks,
Well, I've set myself up with an OTA high def system, using a Samsung TXR3079WH flat tube as my tuner and display. In my area I've been getting very good signals (6 or 7 "bars" for certain channels) and the picture is great, however, the sound cuts in and out when the TV is set to DD output to my receiver. When I set it to PCM output, the dropouts stop.
The dropouts, I've figured out, get elongated by my receiver's (Pioneer VSX-1015TX) losing the DD signal, switching over to analog, then switching back to DD when the signal returns, so even a brief dropout becomes one of about 2 seconds.
My question is, could there be something wrong with my television, that it's somehow having trouble passing through the signal to my receiver, or is it more a function of my reception? I'd hesitate to think that it's my reception, because the picture and PCM signals are both rock solid. I'm guessing the PCM signal is one sent out by the station, in addition to the DD signal, and that it's not my television downmixing it. Am I right in that assumption?
