New Hiss from Harman/Kardon AVR300

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Turned on my 10 year old HK AVR300 the other day and had a terribly loud hiss coming through all 5-speakers. Muted speakers but hiss continued. Tried headphones and sound thru jack was clear. Disconnected all speakers and hiss stopped, listened using headphones and sound thru jack was again clear.

I'm debating whether to take it into the shop for repair or to look for a replacement. I love the AVR, and don't really want to replace it. $95.00 bucks just to look at it. Any thoughts from the forum on what could be wrong, how much I should expect to pay to fix-it, and whether I should just replace?



Thanks in advance.

This happened to me like 6-8 years ago. I remember having to change the polarity switch somewhere and also someone suggested that i may have added equipment that is not "shielded". Anyway, I was in the process of moving so I disconnected everything, moved to a new house, reconnected then it disappeared.
