When I play the sound from my TV through my HI-FI, It sounds as if the tweeters are clipping/distorting? I Have a free-view Humax HDR-FOXT2 connected to an old Sony CRT KV-28LS36U Television, which in turn goes to a DenonDM38 amp through to some Monitor Audio BX2's.
I first noticed this when watching Jools Holland which I assume rules out the source as I have heard people say how good it sounds. So it can only be my equipment? Yet when playing CD's through the Denon it sounds fine. Which must rule out my amp and speakers? That leaves either the Humax or the TV? Has anyone ever come across anything similar to this? Or could offer some advice on how to fix it? As I would love to use the speakers to watch films etc but now I am scared that it will damage them.
I have been through the menu's on the TV and the Humax and tried most of the different sound settings but to no avail. The clipping/distortion is most pronounced on high notes, or things like symbols if it helps? and sounds like a quiet rattle/raspy sound. My other half didn't notice it until I pointed it out but I then turned up the treble and it was very clear that something wasn't right.
Also I was wondering if this could have caused any damage to my speakers? Is there any test that I can do on them to check? Or is it just a case of listening to them?
Thanks if you've taken the time to read this far, any help would be greatly appreciated!
