Gonk & Lena:
It looks like this is a Panasonic DVD player glitch. Interesting... I don't know what good this information does for me, or anyone else for that matter. Short of discarding my beloved CP72, I am stuck with it. I am just glad to know it isn't the 950. Has anyone tested their Panny dvd player with another receiver or pre/pro to determine if this situation translates to those processors as well? I can't for the life of me remeber this being an issue with my Denon AVR-3802.
Thanks to all for your help, I think we have determined the cause of the mysterious audio drop out!
