So after I returned home around Thanksgiving, I immediately started playing around with my 950 to see if I could find the problem. I unplugged both the 950 and 770 and ran them directly from the wall outlet. Unit still cutout. Finally, a light bulb came over my head! I realized I did not ever remember the units cutting out when DVD's were on. So I proceeded to test this theory switching between the DVD and CD and then lighting the stove burner. The DVD never cut out, and get this, the CD player (which is an HK) only cut out when the digital output was used! I have both units hooked up to the 950 via both analog and digital cables. So, the problem is obviously either with the HK digital out, or the 950 digital in. Interestingly, the Toshiba DVD does not have these problems using digital hook-up, so the problem may be specifically with the one 950 input. Thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Since then, I have only been using CD with analog output without any cutouts. I cannot tell much of a difference in music quality. I'm assuming in digital, the 950 does all the decoding, but with analog the HK decodes and then the 950 also has to process the information? If I am wrong, please let me know the difference.
