Sony Bravia Sound Dropping into Mono?

[tommears]

Hi there all,

I've just bought a new Sony Bravia 49x8309 TV......

Minus playing with picture and sound more than I am actually watching TV programs I have noticed one annoying issue.

I am sure the problem doesnt stem from the sound bar as at the time of purchase I bought an LG Sound bar but later returned it due to an annoying buzzing noise......So I replaced it with aHT380.CEK Sony sound bar and wireless sub......and they both did this......

My problem is when I am watching TV or on the Xbox every now and then sound almost sounds like it drops into a mono sound. Another way to explain it is it sounds like the volume has gone really quiet but still very clear. It only does it for a few seconds at a time. Sound never goes completely.

I wondered if anyone could explain if this is a setting, a fault or fact of life for new TV's?

Thanks in advance!

Could it be something to do with the adverts being transmitted in a different sound format to the programme and your equipment switching between them?

It sound like something that but in the middle of a tv or while on the Xbox?
