The way I'd guess many of us are set up, I'm surprised we don't have more problems

When I first start my listening sessions, I'll occasionally lose either the video, or the audio, or both. Sometimes one or both will return after a second. Sometimes neither the video or audio return, and I have to change the pre-pro input via remote control and then go back to my original input to restore everything. This will sometimes last as long as 5 annoying minutes, and then everything settles down and there are no further interruptions. But I'm sometimes surprised that this set-up works at all, since my pathway is as follows:

Music files on shared RAID drive, connected via Firewire to. . .
iMac in another room, connected via wired ethernet to. . .
Gigabit router, connected via wired ethernet to. . .
MacMini in listening room, connected via HDMI to. . .
Marantz pre-pro, connected to TV via HDMI. . . and connected via interconnect cables to. . .
three different amplifiers, connected via outdoor lighting cable (!) to . . .
the actual speakers in my surround system!

As I say, it's a wonder it works as reliably as it does! ;-)
