I never thought of that, good point. Unfortunately I don't think this is happening. My receiver remembers the last decoding setting I had on a particular input. On that input I never choose Dolby Digital decoding, and you can't even activate DD decoding unless it's actually receiving a DD stream.
I usually have multichannel stereo decoding on that input, and when I switch to it with the SB off, that's the decoding format the receiver remembers. And note that I usually turn on the receiver first, switch to that input (which goes into multichannel stereo and expects to receive PCM according to the display) and then turn on the SB. There has never been a DD stream on that input for the life of the receiver. As well, my DVD player input does not behave like this. And the receiver does seem to mute the sound until the decoder switches. mattg wrote: > Could it be that the receiver is expecting something other than PCM > (say, Dolby Digital)?
