System: PS3, Yamaha surround sound, Plasma screen, cable box.
Running input from the PS3 or cable box, the sound cuts out and quickly comes back on at +- 60 sec. intervals. When the sound goes out the illuminated text on either side of the sound scene designation goes off. For instance if the sound scene is set to 'Spacious' the text on either side of the 'spacious' text flickers off and comes on when the sound returns. This started happening about 2 months ago (have had the unit for 2 years).

Make sure your audio output on your PS3 is configured properly. You have the ability to chose which port the audio is coming out of.
The 6050 does NOT process audio signals coming in on the HDMI port. The amp is weak, I had one. With the 6050 you will have to use the AV multi coming out of the PS3 and use the special cable that came with the PS3 to convert that signal to the RCA and connect that to the 6050.

Solved problem with Yamaha HTR-6040 AV Receiver. My daughter had inadvertently changed the program to "Direct Stereo" mode which allows sources to bypass the decoders and DSP processors so you can listen to 2-Channel PCM and Analog sources. Nothing to decode digital audio in this setting!

When you connect the optical cable to the ps3 you must change the output to optical on the ps3. To do this, startup your ps3 then go to settings then audio output settings and change it to Digital Out (Optical).

If you are not getting sound on "Any" input except "multi channel" you have a bad DSP chip in the receiver.In short, you need a new receiver, it's a 500.00 repair. If you get sound on "All" inputs except "DTV/CBL" You need to get into the main menu of the Yamaha and select audio, toggle to input, then DTV/CBL and select "Auto". If you still do not get audio, it would be due to the version of HDMI software in your receiver. If it's under warranty, Yamaha will update hardware and software for you at N/C. If it's out of warranty, use digital coaxial or optical as your audio input for TV and run your HDMI directly to the TV. (The repair for this too would run 250-350) I hope I've covered all the possibilities. If you need further help, post a comment and I can help you more.
Testimonial: "thanks for the info boss it's greatly appreciated"

I have the same receiver... You can try pressing the Option button and choosing Signal Info to see what audio signal the receiver sees and if that changes over time. Maybe the cable box is not outputting according to specifications... TV can live with that, but receiver maybe can't.
You can also try to connect the cable box via SPDIF cable (optical or coax) to see if it helps or not.
