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!

You don't have HDMI CEC enabled in your AVR do you? If so, that's likely the problem. It rarely works as expected, especially when negotiating with three things of different brands, or even two HDMI devices of a different brand.

Also make sure you try setting the BDP for LPCM output (i.e. it does the decoding), as well as for bitstream output. Your AVR should automatically detect and use whatever format it gets. It may work one way and not the other so that could be a clue.

I think your prob is fixable, so stick with it. HDMI interface issues are still not at all uncommon, especially as to how the interface handshakes when a signal (usually audio) is temporarily interrupted, or even changes format.

You are much more limited with the audio formats you can use to their full extent with the optical interface.
