The DCH boxes are the newest boxes so there might be bugs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20458040 Fri, 09 May 2008 16:29:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457979 anon : I can certainly try to do that. However, I am not sure it will answer the question. The Sony receiver has a function that it resets and looks for parameters to set the decoding function (dolby, dts, etc.) when there is an interruption of signal or change in decoding status (e.g., from pcm to dolby or from dolby to dtx, etc.). Since the TV is not decoding anything, I am not sure if there is any "reset" function that would be noted. But I will certainly give it a try.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457979 Fri, 09 May 2008 16:19:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457955 anon : I would presume it is the signal between the cable box and the receiver since I have experienced the loss when playing back DVR and when using live signal (real time). Furthermore, as I previously stated when I experienced the loss using DVR playback, I was able to playback the same portion of the program material without a signal loss only moments later. Therefore, I had not recorded loss of cable signal on the hard drive.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457955 Fri, 09 May 2008 16:15:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457764 ajwees41 : Which box looses signal the cox dvr, or the Sony ?

can you post your signal levels of the dch box?

turn the box off and press select and look at #4 the INBAND status.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457764 Fri, 09 May 2008 15:36:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457654 maxpower : Could you connect directly to your tv for a while to see if it still happens?
Is your DVD connected through the receiver also?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457654 Fri, 09 May 2008 15:13:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457603 anon : I am using a DCH3416 box through HDMI to a Sony Receiver STR-DA5300ES. Intermittently, I loose picture and sound as the Receiver resets after loss of signal. This loss is similar to the loss I note when changing layers during playback of a dual layer DVD.

This occurs during liver cable signal and also when playing back the DVR. When it occurs with DVR playback and I "rewind" and play the same section again, the loss does NOT recur. Therefore, it is not merely a recording of a cable signal loss that occurred during recording.

Any thoughts on this? Is the box defective?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20457603 Fri, 09 May 2008 15:01:45 EDT
