Incompatible audio signal

[CyClones]

I just found this tidbit, I have a Sharp LCD as well going through an Onxyo and also get the same error ... Shaw HDtv Cable Box-->Onkyo Receiver..Sound set to output to Surround sound speakers.. I am also getting the error but in my case I do not have the TV speakers enabled .. ..During a little research I found this and will try it later when I get home.. and let you know the outcome

PROBLEM: INCOMPATIBLE AUDIO SIGNAL

All my A/V devices (360, PS3, Wii, Samsung DTB-H260F) were connected to my Onkyo TX-SR607 receiver with HDMI, which was set to output to my Sharp Aquos LC-52E77U. And, although the receiver was set to "Audio TV Out" off (and even with it on), the TV kept popping up this error:

"Incompatible audio signal has been received, please check the output signal."

It only pops up for a few seconds, and only when I would switch devices or resolution or whatever. Still, pretty annoying. Connecting the devices directly to the TV via HDMI caused the same error - the only time it didn't happen is when there was 2ch 44.1/48Khz PCM involved.

Unfortunately, unlike every other TV I have ever owned, the Sharp doesn't have a menu option to disable audio. Muting didn't help, either.

The solution? Set the audio volume to 0. No more error!
