Generic problem for all Home Theater Systems
Sound cuts out every so often when using Coax...
posted by sageimac on Jan 01, 2008
I have my Satellite and Xbox360 running into my TV using HDMI, then using my TV's Coax Digital Audio out to connect sound to my Philips receiver.
However, every few minutes, the sound cuts out, and the receiver display acts as if its recognizing the signal for the first time. Posts up the DOLBYPLII message, then the sound comes back in and it goes right back displaying DI, which is what it displays the whole time the sound works flawlessly.
I tried bypassing the TV thinking it may be the culprit and hooked up my other dvd player to the receiver using the digital in as well. Same issue. Every few minutes its like it reconfigures what its decoding, and the sound cuts out while it figures it out. But the sound is constantly coming, cutting out mid song, or dialogue sometimes.
Could it be my wires? Thats the only other constant. I used a high quality Sony Digital Coax wire to connect the devices ($15 for an rca cable... gag me).
I have the same problem with the HTS 3544 unit. It cuts out about once a minute when using the direct input from the TV. Is the only answer to replace the unit?

I upgraded the firmware on my HTS3544 and it solved my audio problem, but only for a few weeks, then it again went back to the cutting out every minute or so. I have the same version code:
Ver00.27.00_70517_01 Region: 1
Servo: 0F.60.00.00
8032: 05.00.04.06 Risc: 00.00.03.03
I re-installed the firmware and it still cuts out. I don't understand how it was fixed temporarily, then reverted back.
This happens only on the Direct Input from the TV.
Ver00.27.00_70517_01 Region: 1

I have the same problem, here is my setup.
Oleiva 42" LCD HDTV
Comcast HD DVR Cable Box (connected to TV via HDMI)
Xbox 360 (connected to TV via HDMI)
Philips HTS3544/37 DVD home theater system
It does it alot when I'm using my xbox 360, right from the start up and just going thought the dashboard blades, I get no sound of the blades moving unless i move through super fast, in which it gets the sound of the last two blades, missing the first 3.
I was using just the analog Red and White cables earlier and it had no problem. But only does this when hooked up to Digital input coaxial. I also spent $15 on a Sony Digital coaxial cable from target. But I highly doubt that is the problem.
i was having trouble at first just getting sound from the coaxial (little did I know that the TV can actually control the volume unlike using analog). Before I figured out that I when to the tech support website and did what I thought was a firmware upgrade, unfortunately I already had a more current version on the system than the website has, so I don't know if it was already fixed in the latest firmware.
To check your firmware, turn the system off, then on then open the DVD tray and hit display on your remote. This is what mine read before I up/downgraded the software:
Ver00.28.00_70531_01 Region: 1
Servo: 0F.60.00.00
8032: 05.00.04.06 Risc: 00.00.03.07
now it reads:
Ver00.27.00_70517_01 Region: 1
Servo: 0F.60.00.00
8032: 05.00.04.06 Risc: 00.00.03.03
The ver and Risc are now lower than what it was. Check and see what your software reads so we can see if you're running the latest version and still having the same problems...
