Hi all, am a new poster here and have been following optik posts to see if anyone else has similar problem with sound.
I have 430 connected to 5.1 channel receiver with component cable and digital out cable and then component to plasma from receiver. I also have hdmi cable connected directly to plasma so do not have to turn on receiver everytime I want to watch a program. Herein lies the problem/question? When I have the settings for digital audio on 430 set to stereo, I do not get 5.1 channel sound passed through to receiver, via digital audio out. If I select surround sound setting then I do get 5.1 sound. But when surround sound is selected, when I want to watch tv without receiver(5.1) sound, just through tv speakers, I get a distorted static noise from tv with no sound at all. If I switch setting on 430 to stereo then sound through tv is okay but 5.1 sound to receiver when on is lost. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have solution, or is this as good as it gets. Everything else is fine. Appreciate any replies, thanks
