Hi-
I'm new to this website and found it trying to troubleshoot a problem I'm having. I just bought a new receiver, an Onkyo TX-SR702. I know it's not high end, but it's the best I could do. At any rate, upon hooking it up, I heard some light crackling/popping in my speakers that I'd never heard. It's not real loud, but definitely audible I've got Boston Acoustics CR95's hooked up to it that aren't even a year old, using monstercable wires. As a test, I hooked them back up to my old receiver, via the same coaxial connection, and heard nothing. I hooked it back up to the Onkyo and the craclking reappeared. I called Onkyo and a rep suggested reseting the processor. I did so. I cut the receiver on...still crackling. I hooked them back up (just to make sure) to the old receiver and still no crackling.
Can anyone tell me what might be going on here. My hunch is that it's the receiver, but I'm not that knowledgeable about what would be causing a "crackling" in the speakers, and why it would dissappear when hooked to another receiver.
I'm hoping someone can help me out with any advice or tips on how to troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
