Video and audio systems have a habit of popping when their connected.Dont worry,but do run it down to satisfy curiousity[sp].Someone in the know will be by here soon,good luck,Bob
popping sound from l and r speakers
Hi folks. I have my 2ch system imbedded in my htr.
When watching tv, I get a popping sound when I change channels, pause or play on the dvr. The "pop" does not get louder in response to volume level on the htr, but it does go away if I have the htr set to "mute".
Any ideas of what I could do or if it is even a problem to worry about?
Thx!

Update- I tried changing components and cables one at a time to try and isolate. The only way that I could eliminate the "pop" to the l and r speakers when changing tv channels or pausing a movie was to take the capri out of the loop.( And that is *not* a workable solution. That much became clearas I tried to listen to music with out it.) if anyone has any ideas, let me know. |
as far as i understand it, and it's minimal, there is a specific resistor that is installed in either the pre/pro or amp that mutes or absorbs that pop. some units have it some don't. some combinations will cause pop, some won't even with or without the resistor. it is a hit or miss thing. my jaton/marantz combo has the issue. marantz avoided responsability(i beleive the resister does belong in the pre/pro)but jaton offered the solution to instal in their amp. i have not done so yet so i cannot comment. |
just found the email from jaton. they say this is caused because some pre's do not mute the 1/2 second when sources are switched and that causes the pop. they suggested a 3.9 kohm resistor in between the input signal and its ground. i am not a dyi'er but he sent me a spec of where it goes inside the amp. it is right at the rca input terminal inside the body of the amp. if you'd like i can email you the spec. |
please do! My email is [email protected] It will be over my head but interesting none the less. When I taked the jeff rowland out of the loop and just run the pre out from the HK or the Marantz to the amps there is not problem. So I think that I will check in with the folks at jeff rowland and see if they have any fixes / thoughts. |
hi, i apologize i did not get back to this thread sooner. unfortunately the email is at work and i can't access from home. but monday, i will certainly send it. i see you are running a nuforce amp. it would seem to me that digital and chip amps(which is what i have) are very sensitive to this issue but that is purely conjecture. i am living with it currently, but certainly cringe just a bit everytime i change the channel or source. as soon as i get a chance i'm hauling the amp to boston to goodwins high end to have them instal the resistors. |
