- Hiya netters...
-
- Got a problem that hopefully somebody out there can solve. I just got a new
- Sony STR-D1090 receiver today, and after hooking up everything, I'm noticing a
- small buzzing noise coming out of the rear surround speakers, kind of like a
- very small aquarium air pump buzzing noise. It's not terribly loud, but
- during quiet passages, it is noticeable. There is no such buzz coming out of
- the front speakers, which are Cambridge SoundWorks Ensemble II's (which, by
- the way, sound EXCELLENT). The rear surrounds are, and no flames please,
- Realistic Minimus 7's. The question I have is, is there any way to get rid of
- this buzz, or is this normal operation (which I doubt it is)? Also, is this
- just normal of brand new receivers? If so, will a little breaking in solve
- the problem? I've tried AC line filters, grounding, unplugging all other
- equipment, turning off lights, etc., and nothing seems to work. Calling Sony
- Customer service only got me some person who basically read me the
- "troubleshooting" section of the manual.
-
- Anyway, there it is. If anyone has a solution or a possible solution,
- please post or e-mail to the above address. Many, many thanks in advance.
