audio cuts out on new blu-ray player - Blu-ray Forum

dtrachtman · 10-26-2009, 01:46 PM

I just bought a new LG BD-390 blu-ray player. I love it, but when I play DVDs (just the regular ones so far), the audio stops intermittently and I have to turn off the receiver and turn it back on to get it to return. I would think its the receiver, but I never had this problem in the previous 5yrs it was plugged into a regular DVD player. Do you think the new bu-ray player is at fault? Has anyone else had this problem?
thanks
Dan

The blu-ray player is plugged into a new LG BD-390 HDTV via HDMI. Then audio is sent out of the TV via regular component audio cables to a standard Panasonic theater in a box receiver thats about five yrs old (dont have it in front of me to check the model).

It sounds like the TV doesn't like the audio being passed to it. I don't see where you can configure the Blu-ray player to turn off audio from the HDMI and output the audio from the component of the player. My Sony does it but it may not be a feature of this player, maybe someone who has the same player knows how to do this but I don't see it my quick checks of the manual.

Interesting. I suppose I could do just component video to from the player to the TV and do the audio from the player straight to the receiver. Do you think I should consider just replacing the blu-ray player?

Component will still give you a very good picture, HDMI is better but I doubt most would notice. Replacing it is up to you and depends on what you're looking for as far as features and the price range. Stay away from Samsung, in my opinion, as they seem to be more problematic and slow on the draw for firmware upgrades.
