Hello - I have a fairly standard home theater setup with a weird occurrence. Whenever there is a power hungry appliance anywhere in my house (window a/c, dryer, microwave) requests power my A/V receiver blinks off for about 2 seconds. I have a RCN cable box, PS3 (mostly off), HTPC (mostly off), chromecast and a pioneer sc 1223 k receiver all hooked up through HDMI. When the surge happens the receiver doesn't shut off but its rather like it drops the HDMI signal for a brief second.
I made sure all the wires are snug and purchased new surge protectors. I use to have a yamaha receiver hooked up in the pioneers place that recently died and I'm afraid this strange behavior might be the cause. What should I look into? There doesn't seem to be any power drain in my house other wise (dimming of the lights etc..) We had an electrician come by and he didn't find anything he thought out of the ordinary and suggested we upgrade to better surge protectors (which we did).
Should I replace my HDMI cables? Cable box? Need to hire a different electrician? Any possible causes? or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
