owall83,
I wanted you to know that I'm checking on this, and haven't missed (and more importantly, haven't ignored) your post.
I wanted to clarify my own thoughts with one of our product experts to see what I could suggest. Stay tuned.

I've become pretty frustrated with a few things that I keep running into over and over.
I have a
LN46A650 TV
BD-P2500 BD player
HT-AS720ST A/V receiver.
Why do these three products not like each other?
I have all of them connected to one another with HDMI cables (1.3b)
BD player is set for: DVD = HDMI1 Setup: HDMI audio = AVR
Sound set for Audiophile in setup.
Satellite: HDMI2 Setup HDMI audio = AVR
Anynet off on all products.
First of all, most every time I switch from my satellite or turn the BD player on along with the receiver, it says Mode not supported and I have to turn the receiver off and on to get the BD player to come up on screen. If I have the BD player set for 1080p, it kicks it to 1080i.
Secondly I have no surround sound. I have my speakers setup for L rear and R rear. If I use my satellite I have sound from the rear speakers if I cycle through the different modes on the reciever (IE cinema, matrix.. etc...). No sound in rear speakers using the BD player.
The Netflix feature on my BD player has no sound at all.
Ive updated the firmware on my BD player via ethernet successfully.
I'm shocked that my Sat receiver works better with the HT-AS720ST then my BD player.... Please help!
