Clicking noise on Onkyo 797

[brich6667]

This is my first time using a forum for any sort so please be paciane with me. I pursused a used Onkyo 797a couple years ago and love the machine untill a couple weeks ago. Any time I am in home theather mode I get a clicking noise from the front speakers. I tryed replaceing all of my patch cords than my toss links thinking it was a bad conecction. None of this helped and the clicking is getting worst. If anybody has any advise out there for my please feel free not sure what to try next

Have you identified if the undesired noise is from the source (DVD player or otherwise) or the receiver? If not, try using some other source and see if it's still happening. With the same input material and settings, does the noise seem to occur at the same times or just randomly?

Is this in any of the home theater mode, DD, prologic? All three front speakers? Does it happen even if you don't have a disc playing, or only when you are playing a DVD movie? How about a CD in prologic mode? What happens you pause the disc?

I just heard back from an Onkyo servise person that it was a problem with the 797, and that they will fix it for free even if out of warrenty. thanks you for your help with this problem Rich

That is good news Sounds like Onkyo cares about customer satisfaction

Another possible solution?

When I first hooked up my Def Tech PM 700s to my TX-DS797 2 years ago, I had a similar problem. Higher-pitched sounds- female voices, brass instruments, etc.- would cause a popping or snapping sound. As it turned out, I had both the re-EQ and upsampling turned on. Turning one or the other (in my case, both) off solved the problem. ------------------------------------------------------ My System: Onkyo TX-DS797; Pioneer Elite DV47-Ai; Def Tech PowerMonitor 700s (l/r); Def Tech CLR 2500; Toshiba 30" CRT (ab. 18 yrs. old!); JVC HR-S5400U SVHS VCR (on last legs); Microsoft XBox; Nintendo GameCube; Nintendo 64; old JVC jam box speakers for surrounds! (eventually Def Tech BP-Xs)
