I am using a Harmon/Kardon AVR-225 connected to a JBL S-Center and a pair of S26's via 14 ga Home Depot speaker wire. The AVR is connected to a cheap Norcent DVD player by digital coax. I've had the whole system less than 6 months. Okay, here comes the question.
On certain parts of movies, almost always during dialogue when a character raises his/her voice, there is a slight crackling or static sound behind the dialogue, a sort of distortion. Since it's dialogue, the crackling was coming from the center speaker. When I turned off the center speaker and played just through the S26's, the crackling was still there. But when I played the sound through the TV's speakers, the crackling was gone.
I'm wondering if it is a problem of interconnects, receiver, DVD player, speakers, or any guesses you might have as what the problem is or how to locate and fix such slight distortion. I'm guessing it's the receiver (which is refurbished) which is why I put this post here. Anyone else had something similar? I know it's a little problem but it sure is annoying! Thanks,
