Default MX121 Audio Drop Out?

Hi guys... I am seeking the advise of MX121 owners prior to making my purchase.

My previous processor was so busy decoding the audio signal everytime it recieved one that it would miss the fist few seconds of each new track, or new company logo etc. when playing blu-ray.

Does this happen on the MX121? Can you all hear (for example) the entire blu-ray logo when it appears? Can you all hear the Universal Studios logo at the start of a film in its entirity or do the first few seconds drop out?

I am hoping the MX121 locks onto the signal immediately. Your comments would be much appreciated. Thanks...

I just tested this on a disc that had previously given me a handshake delay when starting to play movies through another processor. Using the mx121 I found that there was no delay in locking onto the signal and that the audio could be heard immediately upon playback. Hope that helps.

No delays. My last couple processors had delays, but not the 121.
