Lexonex Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Alright you PC brains out there; got a mystery for you to solve. In my Den, I have a PC, Dish Network Receiver and a Yamaha AV Receiver (two separate digital optical line inputs). When running a digital optical line from the Dish Network Receiver to the Yamaha AV Receiver AND running a digital optical line from the PC to the Yamaha AV Receiver it will work for a while but, will cause the Yamaha AV Receiver to turn off. I will try turning it on again, and boom. It will just shut off or go into the standby mode whatever. Blank lifeless screen on the Yamaha Receiver; WHAT GIVES! This happens when having both (Dish and the PC) on at the same time AND will happen with just using the Dish. I have to unplug one of the digital optical lines running into the Yamaha it get it reset and working again. Never lasts for long because the same phenomenon will happen again and again. So, I tried using analog lines from the Dish and PC to the Yamaha. Ran Red and White RCA jacks from the Dish to the Yamaha and went out of the PC using the headphone output jack with an analog 3.5mm plug going to a Red and White RCA jack to the Yamaha. As I was putting this together: BOOM. Yamaha went dead again. I said to hell with it and went back to the digital optical line running from the PC to the Yamaha and left the analog RCA connection intact from the Dish to the Yamaha. IT HAS BEEN PLAYING NON STOP EVER SINCE. NO SHUT DOWNS. To recap, I am unable to use digital optical lines from the Dish and PC to the Yamaha. I am unable to use analog lines from the Dish and PC to the Yamaha. BUT, CAN run a digital optical line from the PC to the Yamaha and a analog Red and White RCA plugs from the Dish to the Yamaha with no shutting down of the Yamaha AV Receiver?.Why is that?
