Erratic audio playing blu-rays with BDP-BX58

Hi all....


I have a three month old BDP-BX58. It is connected via HDMI to a Samsung PN59D8000 and optical to my B&K Ref10 processor.


More often than not, when I first put in a blu-ray after powering on, the audio is choppy until I go to the Home menu and visit Audio Settings. I don't have to change anything. For example I click on Audio (HDMI) and simply return back to the DVD.


I have the following settings:


Audio = PCM

DSD = Off

BD Audio Mix = Off

Dolby Digital = Dolby Digital

DTS = Downmix PCM

DST Neo:6 = Off

Audio DRC = Off

Downmix = Surround


When I return to playback after visiting the audio settings the blu-ray usually plays perfectly.


Firmware is up to date.


Any idea what the problem might be?
