Hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this ...
I have a Bell 9242 satellite receiver connected to a Yamaha V659 stereo receiver with a Monster digital optical cable. From there, the sound is outputed through a Bose Accoustimass 5 speaker system.
Normally, the sound comes out like a normal 5.1 system with most sound coming out of the center channel speaker. However, there are times when I'm flipping channels when the sound drops off. No sound comes out of the center channel- the sound comes out of the front channel speakers (sometimes sound only comes out the right front). Furthermore, sometimes you can't hear the main speaking voice at all (only background noise). Sometimes, I can correct the problem by turning off the Yamaha and turning it back on again.
I don't tend to have the problem when watching network TV shows and movies. It seems to happen a lot when watching baseball on RSN and the MLB Extra Innings channels. My kids have also said it happens when watching YTV and other kids channels.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I switched out the optical cable for another one, and the problem persists. Therefore, I don't think it's the cable.
Thanks.
