I have had a 950 for almost a year, and I have noticed that it loses sync whenever there is a voltage sag caused by my air conditioner kicking in. You might have a similar prob and a power conditioner might help. Good luck.

Thanks for your comments.

travk13,

The loss of sync I was experiencing was a little different. The losses were never repeatable. When I got one and went back it would not drop out again at the same time on the disc. Now, I do sometimes have a small lag at the start of a movie where the type of soundtrack changes and yes CDs sometimes lag at first.


Simon,

Maybe your theory has some merit. That would explain why when I repeat a part of a movie I don't get the dropout. I think it strange that since I told my 950 that there is a 6th speaker I haven't gotten a single dropout.

Odd very odd.

Well, two months later and still not a single dropout.

Anyone at Outlaw know why if the 950 is set to more than 5 channels this problem goes away?

Thanks,

Norman

About 2 months ago I started having the exact same problem with my first-gen 950 (one of only a handful that didn't have the hiss problem). Happened on all digital inputs. The only pattern I could establish was that it would happen after the system was on for 6 hours or so (a common occurance in my household). Went through the same series of tests, plus Steve had me get power from a different circuit and get the 950 out of the equipment stack to rule out heat issues. Nothing changed, so my 950 is currently at Outlaw getting the once-over...
