The short version: If you have a Toshiba DVD player and a Yamaha receiver, and you are using the receiver to decode DD 5.1 (not sure about DTS), you will probably experience audio dropping out.
I have experienced this problem recently with my Yamaha RX-V2092 and a Toshiba 3750. I then tried a Toshiba 5700 and had the same results. Movies with a 2-channel soundtrack were fine, but DD 5.1 would have audio dropouts several times per movie. I also experienced compatibility problems with this receiver and my old Toshiba 3709. My Toshiba 3109, however, has never had a problem.
In an earlier thread, j768 commented that he started getting audio drops with his Yamaha RX-V2200 and Philips Q50. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hreadid=135078 near the bottom of page 1. His Pioneer Elite DV-C36 was fine though. So it doesn't seem to be limited to just Toshiba players. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're thinking about buying a Yamaha receiver.
