I'm experiencing audio dropouts on the Nemo DVD. I tried switching discs (2 disc set, one wide screen, one fit to TV) but had the same problem in what appeared to be the same sections. The dropouts were audio only, but were across all channels. They continued sporadically throughout the entire movie and lasted anywhere from a fraction of a second up to a few seconds. I was able to play the DVD without incident on my laptop. This is the first time I've experienced a problem in the almost 2 years that I've owned my Outlaw 1050. I'm using an optical cable out from my Toshiba DVD player to the receiver and running the receiver in 5.1 surround. Anyone else having similar problems? Any suggestions? Me and my three year old daughter would appreciate the help.

Follow the Harry Potter thread. ITs on this topic.

I'm just wondering if the same problem is being experienced by 950 owners?
Thanks,

The 950 owners do not have this problem; the 950 includes true Dolby EX decoding (which was not available when the 1050 was designed, so they used a proprietary matrix decoding scheme).

not entirely related to this thread but the same thing happened to me last night while I tried to watch finding nemo. I'm getting tired of this problem and seems like it's going continue to show up in the future. So I think I'm gonna be force to finally put in a rear center surround speaker. My question is my front, center, and side rear speakers are all rated at 8ohms. In the outlaw manual it states if I want to add 2 rear center speakers chained together I should change the ohm setting on the 1050 to 4ohms. Will this have any negative effect on my other speakers since they are all rated at 8ohms. What's the difference between 8ohms and 4? Thanks in advance to everyone.
