Just found out that unplugging the HDMI between the units solved the issue. I thought the receiver was supposed to ignore HDMI when CD is chosen as source? The audio cut in and out is totally consistent in tempo so it appears that the receiver is constantly switching between HDMI audio and analog audio or something.

). I've had a new AVR-2312 for about a month. This is a step up for me ( coming from a AVR-1804
) so this as been a step learning curve for me all the same !. Besides the Denon my new system consists off a new Panasonic TH-P42GT30A and a Foxtel IQ2 HD Sat box and a Panasonic DMP-BD 30 with the latest firmware installed ( 2.7 here in oz ). First the positives, Sounds great with at present a 3.1 speaker setup and using Audyssey, Love Zone 2 with speakers out the back of our house ( good for having a beer and listening to internet radio
. Had zero issues with firmware updates and connection to our home network. Now the negatives from new a few microprocessor resets ( No sub, no left channel, pulling the power a few times because the unit became unresponsive ). As of recent weeks though all has been stable, maybe not changing multiple settings all the time as been the problem?. But the big issue has been Blu Ray and Sat box connected through the HDMI connections. I have the Sat Box also set for pass through with no problems, but when the Sat Box is output through the AVR-2312 for sound, the picture and sound will drop out for 6 to 10 seconds ( the screen on AVR will drop the sound output setting ) the TV will then show what resolution it's receiving then sound and picture will return. Sometimes it won't happen for a couple of hours or two times in 5 mintues The Blu Ray problems are the same but it happens more often, on the Blu Ray the front screen timer will continue counting then revert to HDMI for a second or 2 just before the sound and picture returns and then the counter resumes. I've tried different HDMI leads of varying price with no improvement ( all 1.5 metres long ) I've tried my daughter's 2010 Panasonic DMP-BD45 Blu Ray player with better results. I thought maybe a new Blu-Ray player would help. So I got a new panasonic DMP- BDT110 ( You can see I like Panasonic and I might add I've used Cerwin Vega speakers for 30 odd years too ). But the results a been the same. I've also been in contact with the local Denon distributors here in oz ( Sydney ) and they have talked me through using different setting i.e 1080P to 1080I, turning off 24P and such. They believe it's a problem with HDCP. I should note I've tried the other HDMI inputs without success. The agents have been really helpfull but without success. Needless to say The AVR-2312, my HDMI leads and my new Blu-Ray player are at the their service centre now as they are trying to get to the bottom of this problem. Sorry for such a long post first off but it is best to give a much info as possible so all the smart and knowledgable people on this site can help me out. I'll post again when I've got more info or a resolution. If you have got this far through my long rant I thank you all.
