Sound Issues
My unit is now having issues with HDMI and optical inputs when it tries to reproduce the sound. The background sound or music is amplified but the main voice tract is missing. This is true for inputs from any source. When I use the old fashioned 2 lead inputs the sound is there. Any ideas?
