Hello all,
I moved into a new house (good grounding) 5 years ago with a nice Dali 5.1 set connected to a Marantz SR5009 and never had any problems with it. Because I wanted to add Dali atmos speakers and HDMI 2.1, I upgraded my receiver to an SR5015. The problem is that this receiver makes a very loud popping sound every once in a while, it really sounds more like a bomb going off tbh, and the receiver usually turns itself off, and a red light flashes above the power button.
I checked phase of the cables, I checked the connections, I ordered expensive banana plugs and used those going into the receiver instead, I used it with and without the new atmos speakers connected and it made no difference. It doesn't matter the source either, spotify connect, or xbox, the problem persists.
I even sent back the receiver to the store I got it from and bought a new one at a different shop. I set that one up yesterday and while I was playing Valhalla on my Series X, the receiver shut off with a loud bang twice over the evening.
I'm at a loss with this and can't find lead on what the problem can be. When I was waiting for the second receiver to arrive, I hooked everything up to my old receiver and had no problems. I thought it might have been a faulty receiver but surely I can't order 2 faulty receivers in a row.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can try to fix it?
