976 center chanel audio dissapears on certain TV Ads. It just started doing this. Tried different surround settings, but no change. It only does it on certain ads. Tried called outlaw but not it seems we have to submit an email ticket. Dont like, will we need a secret hankshake in the future too
When the 976 is set to the direct surround mode, it will be processing whatever the incoming signal is.
For TV watching, I set my converter box to output PCM and set my 976 to all channel stereo. This is fine for me as I don't watch any movies through my converter box, usually only local news.
Try using one of the upmixing choices, like Pro Logic IIx Movie. That might do the trick.
