Static Coming from Speakers (1 Viewer)

[Todd R]

I recently got a surround sound system and it consist of a

Pioneer Stereo Receiver Model SX-838
Sony ss-P909AV at 6 ohms and 60 watts the tweeters are
Sony ss-P909AV at 8 ohms and 40 watts and one Pioneer sub model CS-88A input is 80 watts peak at 8ohms. Well my problem is, the music has static in it, it plays good for a little while then here comes the static and i have mess with it to get it to work right. Is it the Receiver since its so old?

When you say mess with it what do you exactly do to get it to go away on a temporary basis? Move the volume knob?

there are 3 Switches i can flip i filp the Dolby NR Adaptor switch up and down until it comes back on or press the -20db button in half way and it comes on.

I would certainly try cleaning the switches before throwing in the towel. Something like this perhaps? - http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=64%2D4315 or one of these products - http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage....04194&desc=ASC
