I've just had a Samsung box installed to replace my Thompson and there are a couple of problems.
1. The box frequently doesn't respond to button presses on the remote control. I've tried the original remote and a Harmony One with the same results. You can point the remote directly at the box and you can see that about every fifth press doesn't get picked up, demonstrated by lack of response and the red light not blinking.
2. When I switch to Dolby Digital channels, either 5.1 or 2.0, there is a loud instantaneous, crack/pop from my front speakers. I am connected by optical to an Onkyo 605 and never experienced this with the Thompson. For now I have changed the Optical audio from Dolby to Normal because I don't want to damage my system.
Any thoughts or has anyone else experienced these issues?
