PIONEER 563A questions

[FredCamp]

I bought my Pioneer 563a about a month ago. So far, I've been very happy with both the sacd and dvd-a playback, and the movies look great, too. But I've had an odd experience with this unit a couple of times since I bought it:

Yesterday I was watching GHOST SHIP on dvd (yeah, yeah. It was a rental and it's October), and I got to the part near the beginning where the cable starts to tighten. Just as folks started getting mutilated, the sound went out. "Wow!" I thought. "Interesting effect. Sort of reminds me of horror films from the silent era." Then I realized that the sound was out for good.
I popped in a couple of other dvds -- still no sound.

This loss of sound had happened once before, about two weeks ago. That time, however, it was just the digital signal that wasn't getting through. I remidied it by going into the "initial set-up" menu and telling the player that all my speakers and digital hookups were there. So, I repeated that ritual yesterday, and the sound returned. Tried it again later last night, then again this morning -- still okay.

So, has anyone else experienced this sort of problem with the 563a? Anyone have any ideas as to why this all happened?

you should post this question at the audio hardware forum. ;)

Thanks. I just did.

Rather than post the question in two separate forums it's better to ask a moderator to move the existing thread, ok?

I've eliminated the duplicate thread and moved this one to the proper forum.

Hey Fred--

I haven't used my 563 as much as I'd like:) , but I've never experienced the problem you're reporting. I know that's not good news.:(

And now I have NO idea why this is happening.
