UPDATED TO CORRECT PREVIOUS INFO (HDMI ARC is connected, not optical)
Picked up the LG 60PN5700 TV in October 2013. GREAT TV.
Strange issue that I just figured out (but don't know why it is happening).
We will be watching a show on our LG 60PN5700 Plasma TV and suddenly the picture blacks out for a second or two. (maybe 1.5 seconds). It comes right back. The sound and video both go dead.
Finally we realized that it is only when the Onkyo TX-NR616 receiver is turned on that this happens. We are using ARC to connect via HDMI, and we know it is working, because the TV is sending its audio to the receiver, and whenever we control the TV volume, it directly adjusts the receiver volume.
Any idea why he Stereo receiver could cause the TV to black out because of ARC?
And it seems it only happens on certain modes. If we are watching NetFlix through the TV (from the TV's wired Internet connection), it does not happen. It seems only to happen on the DirecTV (connected via HDMI to the TV) and the Apple TV (which is connected by HDMI THROUGH the Onkyo). It seems that when there is ARC through the Stereo or another HDMI that it happens.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
