Dolby 5.1 crackle center speaker, any advice?

SkywalkerTX (Harmless) posted this on Saturday, 13th September 2003, 23:05

I just purchased a SONY HTDDW750 Home Theatre Kit, it is a great piece of kit, but with a little nag that I need help with.
While I was watching Beverly Hills Cop (R2) in Dolby Digital 5.1 - I noticed whenever there was speach by itself, I could hear a very faint crackle all the time from the center speaker as if there was interference in the speach. I thought, maybe it was the film, but I just received Anger Management on R1 and it does the same thing through the center speaker. It is weird `cos I watched Rush Hour 2 in DTS and Star Wars Ep 1 in 5.1 and they seemed fine in the center speaker with no interference. I don`t think the machine is faulty at all, it can`t be it`s brand new, but what can I do... any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

with it being a cinema kit i take it all the speakers are the same? If they are swap the centre and either the left or right to see if the crackle "moves". Another option on the easy side is to disconnect and reconnect all wires. With any problem solving query start at the most obvious and work from there before condeming the unit to be at fault

Happy hunting
