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.
