Audio Problem with Yamaha RX-V2500

Here is my setup:

Comcast HD-DVR STB --> V2500 via Optical
Oppo DVD Player --> V2500 via Optical

The audio on most channels is fine except on ABC-HD and CBS-HD. As long as these channels broadcast true DD 5.1 sound I can hear the audio fine but as soon as the broadcast changes to stereo I hear no audio except for some really low frequency sound that seems to be coming from the subwoofer. The strange thing is when this happens the display on the Yammy still indicates that it is receiving 5.1 sound and all speakers are active.

I experience a similar kind of problem when I play a DVD which is encoded in 5.1 but has certain songs which are in stereo. The 5.1 part of the DVD plays just fine but the songs sound really distorted with the higher frequencies subdued and the lower frequencies very pronounced.

The input mode of the Yammy is set to auto. I tried to search the forum but did not find anyone else reporting a similar problem. Maybe I am stuck with a bad piece but am really hoping that I missed something and that someone can help me fix it. :confused:
