Quick Audio Question...

[JJ]

Alright, so back when I bought my Panny I hooked it up to my exisiting HTiB via stereo cables (bleh ), then via the coaxial cable a few days later.

The sound is much better (though not mind blowing - time to save up for the Onkyo or Denon), but I get these sporadic sound breaks that occur for a split second. The sound will stop abruptly then start again.

It didnt bother me so much then, but 2 weeks later its driving me crazy. Is it a setting on the Blu I need to change, the cheap coaxial I purchased ($15 vs. the $50 Monster) or the HTiB?

Well my first thought is your problem is a connection issue, and yes it's possibly just a bad wire. With regards to setup you need to set your bd player to output bitstream, and maybe checkout the receives configuration. Good luck, you've probably done all these things but sometimes we just miss the obvious.

I think it is a bad cable - everything else you mentioned I had already done. Damn, you think Id learn my lesson about budget cables.
