Hissing through speakers

[madbadger]

notice tonight that my VZ hisses through the speakers, even with the volume turned all the way down. If i turn the volume up, its gets louder. Its louder through one speaker than the other.....

any ideas???

Hmmm.

Do all the functions hiss (phone/tape/radio)?

Does it hiss on batteries too (is it a 60hz or is it 50hz where you are issue)? which would point toward dried up capacitors in the Power suppl?

Bad ground loop somewhere? Or EMF interference.

Anyone else?

I have the same problem with my Crown 950, makes me upset! :annoyed: Even with my volume all the way down, I have hissing through the left speakers.. and they hardly have music coming out of them compared to the right side..

yea hiss is there on all settings, obviously the radio but its there with the volume all the way down.


dunno, maybe its normal

Hiss in an amp that old could be a faulty resistor. To know for sure, you would need a circuit diagram, the ability to read it, and at least a volt meter.

Its a bit of a technical problem there.
Some tech guy could fix it.

Looks like its in the power amp section.
