okay...I'm an idiot. I was re-wiring all my equipment to add the Parasound amp I bought in preparation for the new RFs I have coming, and I noticed that my multi-channel out was wired incorrectly, probably causing my receiver to freak a little. Everything is working fine now, sorry to hijack your thread with my idiocy.

According to Pioneer, they aren't stopping production of RPTV's until March, so there should still be some time.....

This will sound odd, but I had the same problem with my Pioneer 563 DVD player and Sony Receiver. I found that if I switched from a DVD to a DVD-A or SACD (or vice versa), I would have the same problem you have. Now, if I turned the DVD player off between the DVD and DVD-A (or vice versa) I had no problem. It seemed to be a switching problem when I wanted the player to switch between the multi-channel and digital outputs. Now when I tried the same thing with a different 563 DVD player and a Pioneer 912, I didn't have the problem......odd.
