BDP-S350 Noise Issue

[Indianabones]

Hi folks, don't know if this has been in other threads but I'm getting a low hum of some discs, especially when It's goes onto DTS MAster Audio and True HD, I can only notice it late at night when it is turned down, but it is there! I have a Sony strg820 amp, wondering if anybody has noticed this!

Thanks

I have the same setup, I never really had mine at a low enough volume. I will check mine tonight with TROF disc. I really do like my 820 best bang for the buck for what it does.

Ground loop might be something for you to read about...search the forum.

Thanks JDmac, look forward to hearing how you got on..I love my amp as well, great sound and spec for money!

Thanks Vinnay, I've had a look and when I think about it I have loads of wires at the back of my amp, so need to have a look and do some tests to see if anything cures it..thanks for info on Ground Loop!

Indianabones, I checked TROF blu ray dtsma bitstreamed to my 820 tonight.
I have the volume at 5, 7, and I am not getting any type of hum.
I would check out the ground loop issues on some of the threads.
I would also try and plug just your blu ray player and receiver into a double outlet and have nothing else hooked up to that outlet. In my home when I turn off the lights my subwoofer makes a popping noise. Check some of your other large current drawing items in the room and uplug them to see if that fixes the problem. I had a treadmill once that messed with my receivers sound when it was plugged into an outlet in the same room. I would also make sure I was using bannana plugs or speaker pins on all speaker connections.
Good luck.

Thanks for testing that mate, good idea to just have amp and BD player plugged in, I will do this over the weekend, Was going to get a surge protector for the plugs as well, hopefully will clean up the power as well. I will also get banna plugsfor speaker connections, be worth it to cure the problem. I found out when I put my surround effect off, it's not as bad, but when it's on it's really bad. Thanks for your help, will keep you informed.!
