when i say at the begening of crash i mean before the movie started. ok i just fired up the stuff and i notice with the dvd player in stop mode the needels are hovering above 0 and when i crank the volume the needels rise to .3 watts at 0db and there is almost no sound at all coming from the speakers.
ok now i have shut off the dvd player and still the same condition. reducing input level on the amp seems to be the only way to get it to stop. but yesterday before the begining of crash at -10dB the needels seemed to raise much higher for a couple of seconds. i just fired up the movie, and while it is loading the needels are doing all kinds of things from .3 watts to total rest with no sound. total rest being less movement than when the dvd player is shut off. this all at -10 db on the vol controll. but if i pause the movie or stop it after it has started playing the needels are dead still at 0 no matter how far i turn it up.
btw my noise floor is way lower than it was with my old avr (harman kardon avr 20ii). i can turn the onky up to +3db or more with no sound. just get this strange needle movment.
must not be my amp because when i switch from stereo to direct or pure audio the condition stops. i have isolated my sat box from my rec as much as possable by running video straight to the tv and use optical connection. next i will have to pull it out from the wall and start pulling wires untill i can pin the cause down.
