Random sound drops when playing CDs

I have an odd issue of random audio drops when playing CDs on my 4k Bluray player through my AV amp which has my Android TV connected.

 

Audio randomly drops from a second to several and often resets the selected sound field on the Amp.  Does not drop when playing direct to the headphones via Bluetooth or direct to the TV.  This points to the amp and seemed to be confirmed when I reconnected by old Bluray player to it and it also suffered the same issue. 

 

Having seen this post on the US site:  

https://us.community.sony.com/s/question/0D50B00004IL2ZUSA1/str-dn1080-sound-drops?language=en_US

I tried disconnecting the TV which was only on standby and the issue stopped!

I therefore suspect it to be an issue between the TV and the Amp, possibly applying picture/sound settings set on the TV.

 

Anyone else had this issue?

 

TV: KD-65A1  Firmware: PKG6.2858.0082EUA

AVR: STR-DN1080  Firmware: M41.R.0377 (fv=p7.0377.0)

4K BD Player: UBP X800  Firmware: M36.R.0178

Bluetooth headphones: WH-1000XM2

let me know if this helped .


That's not a solution! It makes the processor and Android in your TV not go to sleep anymore. So it permanently draws 20W!

If you want to use your CDs/AMP without the hdmi problem, this is what you must do. There is no other way, i'm afraid.

 

Like or not (i don't).

 

And you are right, it consumes around 9-11 watts (not 20).

Depends on the TV. 4K HDR sets with big brains consume 20W.
