Afd Audio Problems
I have had my 5400 for 4 years with no problems. However, about a week ago the surround sound in the AFD mode started sounding like it was coming from a tin can from some of my HD channels and parts of some BluRay movies (i.e. no/little sound from side or rear speakers, center speaker sound very poor). When switched it to theater surround sound (A, B, or C) I had no problems and the system sounds great. It appears to me that it has an issue with decoding the AFD signal. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a fix?
