In Reply to: Peculiar noise phenomena with Denon AVR-5700 posted by NickS on January 21, 2001 at 13:35:02:
You didn't mention if you had the volume up or down when you heard the noise. Some processors have lots of digital noise when there is nothing going through the digital circuits. That would explain why you don't hear anything in "direct" mode, which bypasses the digital circuitry. Try hooking your speakers up to the receivers' amps and see if the noise is still there. I hate to say this, but this is not unheard of with SS processors. Denon has pretty good customer support, so I would call them and see if they've had similar questions.Mike
Follow Ups:
The noise is constant irrespective of volume setting. My speakers have been set up directly to the receiver's outputs with identical (read noisy) results!I'll ring up the kind folks at Denon to see what they recommend. While you really have to have your ear to the tweeter to hear it, the noise is very audible and should not be present if quality digital results are desired.
I don't know if anyone with a "pure" A/V pre-amp will stumble upon this post but I would value your feedback on how much "digital" noise your setup provides...
Thanks,
Nick
At higher volume levels I can hear noise when there is no signal being input to the processor. I believe this is because there are no muting circuits, as there are in almost every CD player. A cost/complexity issue? Who knows. If you have to put your ear against the speaker to hear it, I think you've got an acceptable noise level.Mike
