I am wondering if anyone can help. I am by no means a home theater expert, but after reading this forum a lot last year I ended up with a Marantz 5200, JBL Northridge speakers, and a Sony Sub.
When I first hooked up my Marantz there was considerable hiss to the speakers. I went back to the dealer and put in a dvd i had noticed it on on their example setup, and there was no hiss. I traded in my 5200 for a newer one (i had one of the first ones), and this solved the problem. I now had home theater better than any one I had ever heard. I LOVED it.
I have since moved, and reset up everything. I notice a hiss in the speakers now. I don't think it is bad as original, and maybe i just listen louder now or the speakers are closer (the rears are right on the sides of the couch practically. Is there a way for me to test if this is a 'normal' hiss or if something is wrong? Last night I watched Beautiful Girls on dvd (old dvd, only 2.0 DD track). I could hear a hiss coming from my rears the whole time..I almost disconnected them. Someone else I admit prolly wouldn't even have noticed..but since they are mine and I want the best sound it really bugged me.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
