First 'tune' of the day skips a few seconds on a B2b

[Christian Sunderland]

Hello,

Not a major issue but a slight annoyance...  The first song I play on a B2b after switching on always skips the first few seconds.  Taking the 'Time Left:' slider back plays back from the beginning.  Is this a known issue, my B2b playing up or a signal delay to the amplifier (through an HDMI cable)?

Basically, does anyone else get this??

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Hi Christian,

do you get the same behaviour if you listen through headphones ?

If not then it would tend to confirm your HDMI theory ?

After that first play, I assume all subsequent tracks play ok including the original if you start it again (without using the slider ?

Hi John,

I haven't tried with headphones, to be honest.  It only affects the first track and after being switched on.  My amplifier (a Denon AVR-X250-BT) auto-detects the input signal, which makes me think it's a signal delay, more than a B2b issue.  If no-one else has the same issue, I'll put it down to the amplifier!

Thank you for your reply.

I use the HDMI output, and the B2 has always done that for me, too.  When the very first song starts, I can hear what sounds like a solenoid clicking in my receiver until the music is heard.  I suspect it has something to do with the B2's inadequate handling of the HDCP handshake.

Yes Daniel, I do hear a 'click' when playing the first track before it begins.

I've had another go, this time 'force' selecting the correct input device (in my case the 'DVD' channel) and waiting a few seconds, instead of using auto-detect.  This seems resolved the issue.
