    Hum and muting it

    No flourescents, or dimmers in the house at all. Also, what has me really perplexed is the fact that if i select MUTE on the receiver the hum is gone. So maybe there is an internal problem with the receiver? It isnt that old but I know that means nothing

    Hum and muting it

    No, I have tried to isolate the stereo as best as possible from any other device such as fans etc etc. The tv is not hooked up to the receiver at all. I use the tv as a monitor only which is hooked up via component direct from the dvd player. I also have turned all devices i could find such as...

    Hum and muting it

    I realize there have been other areas that touched on this subject but I have a "slightly" different angle. I have a Pioneer 45tx and I started noticing a hum. Can't recall if it just showed up or its been there for awhile. I know it has just recently annoyed me. I have a dedicated outlect for...

    DVD Distortion or Damaged Tweeters?

    yeah, moral support is always welcome. Well, I do have great inter connects and if i didnt I would likely blame them. But the distortion sounds similar to yours that your describing. One of the ideas mentioned above was that maybe the dvd was recorded a bit hot and that was kinda what I was...

    DVD Distortion or Damaged Tweeters?

    Thats a great idea. However, i dont think it will apply because I have a seperate cd player and it puts out a much hotter signal than the dvd player and I dont hear the same distortion as I am complaining aboput with the other unit. As far as which sources it seems to happen on just about each...

    DVD Distortion or Damaged Tweeters?

    Thanks for the reply, I was thinking along those lines as well. Just was hoping I wasn't alone on it. I think I will get some headphones as well and compare.

    DVD Distortion or Damaged Tweeters?

    As far as sibilants... I am not sure. I mean it REALLY sounds like distortion. But the fact that I cant create a similar distortion in music play back causes the confusion. The dvd player is a pioneer 47ai elite.

    DVD Distortion or Damaged Tweeters?

    Good point, my mistake for not being clear. It is only noticeable on DVD MOVIEs I use the player for dvd audio (no prob) SACD (no Prob) I also have a seperate cd player and no problem there.

    DVD Distortion or Damaged Tweeters?

    Well, as my title indicates, I am concerned with what sounds like tweeter problems. My speakers are new about 6 weeks old. With regards to music they perform nicely and I hear no audible distortion in the highs that I would consider originating from damaged tweeters. However, when I play DVDs...

    Setting Delays in receiver AND DVD?

    Hello, I placed this in another area but thought I would get a few more responses over hear. I am running a pioneer 45TX and Pioneer dv47Ai. As you know you can set speaker distances in both the Receiver and DVD player. Should this be done or should I just put the DVD player down to the...

    Speaker Dist. Settings

    Thanks for your information. Basically I have a pioneer 45tx receiver and pioneer DV47Ai DVD player. I use it for both DVD-A and SACD. I have the digital coax hooked up as well as the multi channel outputs. I have all my speakers set to small. I thought it would be best to kind of neutralize...

    Speaker Dist. Settings

    Hello everyone, I was wondering. If your DVD played AND receiver both have the ability to set speakers distances up, would you do it in both or just one or the other? I'm thinking if I tell my DVD player that my fronts are say 7' away and then tell the receiver the same thing it will adjust...

    SVS & HTF Thank You

    Well, I had to take a moment and express a thank you to EVERYONE in this forum and the fantastic people at SVS. I'll be brief as possible here. I have always considered myself rather hard to please when it came to sound. So it is very strange but I thought I would upgrade my system. Guess...
