Happy new year to all.

I have over the holiday period brought a new flat screen TV into the family living room - a 55 Samsung KS7000. This was purchased last year and has been in spare bedroom duties, I went with this model given the ability to pass DD from HDMI sources via it's optical out, as previously in the living room I had a HDMI splitter box gathering the sources (Blu-ray, PC, SkyHD box) and passing audio to my 568 and onto M33 fronts via optical. The Samsung removes this source selector from the chain and was theoretically a more elegant set up.

When changing channel on the SkyHD box previously and digital codecs changed via the multitude of differing broadcast approaches - ie stereo to 3.1, 5.1 etc. there were no pops or clicks. I now however get a loud click when changing channel and there is a recognisable change of codec on the 568. I am presuming this is down to the Samsung pass-through, but not sure if there is anything I can do to remove or reduce the level of this clicking.

I've read through a few older posts around Sky's HD boxes and some older processors - relay issues I believe. However, I had a silent set up previously with a splitter in play with the 568 so not sure these are relevant to my problem.

Any thoughts much appreciated, please don't suggest removing the Samsung.. the family won't go back now... lol
