Home Video Asylum

Follow-up: It gets weirder...

So I've tried a couple of different ways to address this issue (and I've worked my way through all the menus and submenus to make sure there wasn't some tricky setting I had overlooked). I think it might be some sort of "handshake" issue between this particular Panasonic player and my receiver, because if I go to another input on the receiver and then go back to HDMI, the sound is restored. (And I don't think it's a receiver issue because I never encountered this problem with my older Panasonic player.)

FWIW, I exchanged the player for another identical unit with the same result.

So now I'm thinking of trying to use digital out (optical) instead of HDMI to deliver audio to the receiver. If that works, I might just stick with it. OR...since I'm still within the exchange period, would it be prudent to dump this Panasonic in favor of a comparable Samsung or Sony unit? Your thoughts?

BTW, I appreciate the responses posted below. Thanks for the suggestions!
