I Need Help
Hi All,
I recently purchased a used Denon AVP-8000 along with the matching amps POA8200 & POA8300. I was told that this thing was just like new. Yea it looks good but not playing like one. I have experienced a buzz, very low but audible, from the center channel only which also gets louder if the unit is played for a extended time ( I think, for you see, Denon has had this longer than I have and I really can't remember). I do remember my wife is ready to kick my ASS if I tear this house up one more time rewiring and etc. It has been to Denon service twice since May and they have not fixed a thing and I have just sent it to them for the third time about 3 weeks ago. First they told me they replaced boards inside the unit(3 of them to be exact) and said it was OK. Hooked it back up and the buzz was still there. 2nd time they replaced another board and said it was fine and guess what?..same buzz. I have done about everything imaginable and now I am lost. Spoke to Denon yesterday and they are going to look at it one more time. They have been looking for 3 months now and still can't find the problem. I was told by them that this noise may be generated by house current and/or may be normal and that all digital equipment has some type of noise generated through the outputs.Swirling, hissing, warbling... PLEASE! If that's the case then why aren't all the speakers buzzing? It is only coming from the center when played in any 5-ch. mode.If I move the center channel output from the pre amp and plug it into ...say right rear input of the amp..the buzz goes to that speaker. Am I missing something? Is there a problem in my house wiring that could only be triggering the problem out of the center channel only? I am using Klipsch R-3 series center and surrounds if it makes any difference.
