Unpredictable digital problems with movies?

no (to he down convert) the DTS signal link is just very sensitive, some processors deal with it better than others when they loose link.... Some of the newer copy protection makes this problem worse..

You can select the output DTS versus Dolby Digital in most soundtracks on the Audio Setup of the DVD.. give that a try and see if it causes the same pop.

Can you get a firmware upgrade for your Lexicon? Something to try..call them and ask about the problem.

thanks for the reply. I called Lexicon, no upgrades.
again this isnt the players fault as I had same issue with my last player...so it has to be a Rotel issue, but they plead ignorance.

Sorry, I meant call Rotel.... but unfortuantely sometimes my EAD would drop but it was completely silent through the speakers.. it was my cable company switching between audio formats between each comericial on my Cox.. My Meridian does the same thing.. it's my Cox Cable box... The De-jitter box (Camelot Dragon 5.1) didn't help the drops but did clean up the sound.

Not sure what else to say.. try a cheap $29 dvd player.. I've read the Panasonics are the most compliant to read errors. I know it doesn't go over well....

My cable has done it also now that you mention it, I held the button in to re-boot it, Rotel claims no issue ever but I take that with a big glass of "yea right"
