Yes, I know. My question is what does your TV do when it receives a Dolby signal (over the HDMI). The V+ outputs the same audio format on optical and HDMI, so if you are sending 5.1 to your amp, your TV is getting it too. A stereo-only TV will decode this as crackles.

The usual solution is to turn the TV volume down when using the amp.
