I currently have this Blu Ray player and it's a piece of shit. Or the TV is a piece of shit. Or I'm a retard. I'm on the exact opposite end of the A/V knowledge spectrum as SD.
My setup: The player is plugged directly into a Vizio E420VA TV via HDMI cable. No receiver. I only have a set of Logitech 2.1 speakers plugged into the TV via the external analog audio out and they work fine when watching cable TV. TV speaker acts like a fake center channel with Logitech speakers as L and R, plus a SUB. ZERO problems with cable TV. Sounds decent.
Issue: No matter what Blu Ray disc I use it sounds: Lik e th is. Wi h drop uts ev ry 3 sec nds to 5 seco ds.
I played around with the audio settings and the stuttering went from every 3-5 seconds up to every 90-180 seconds when playing season one of Star Trek: The Next Generation. But still every 90-180 seconds the screen will go blank for 2-4 seconds with no audio.
My Big Bang Theory TV series Blu Rays I played earlier in the year had the same issue but eventually worked after I messed around with the settings but those same settings don't work with ST:TNG Blu Rays.
PCM? Bitstream? Second audio channel? Dolby? You'd think that by now the TV, Player, media would be able to broadcast what they can do and the devices would configure themselves (Plug-n-Play) so the damn thing would just work.
Supposedly the Blu Player I got was pretty decent at the time I got it but....WTF.
Any on-line guides I can follow (Do A, then B, then C, etc) to figure out my audio problems and get the f'ning thing to play correctly?
MUCH THANKS in advance.
