I have had the same problem with the digital outputs from my CD player and DVD Player into my 950. I use the optical connection for the DVD and during movies it would occasionally cut out for 1-2 seconds. This also happend with the coaxial connection to my CD player during music. I added a power conditioner to the system and this cleared up the problem with the DVD player, but the CD player was still cutting out. It turned out to be a case of dirty power, or current spikes in the line. As bizarre as this sounds, whenever someone turns on or off any fluorescent lighting in my home, which happens to be the bathrooms and kitchen, it causes a 1-2 second loss of sound. The conditioner cleaned up the power enough for the optical, but the coaxial still does it. Try to test this theory in your home, if it still does it than go to tech support.
