Greetings to the Group.
I am very excited about my update from the CA Azur640R to the Pioneer SC-LX85.
Just wanted to see if any of the other LX85 owners has been facing the following issue.
When playing a surround source (connected digitally, optical/ HDMI etc) I get white noise coming from the centre speaker and the surround speakers.
The noise is something similar to the MCACC sound but obviously not as loud. It sounds a bit like static.
The problem exists even if the digital source is playing stereo material and the receiver is set to Direct/ Pure Direct etc.
The problem goes away if I set the receiver to play in one of the stereo modes.
I have tried the following but nothing seem to have helped:
Tried both DTS and Dolby digital soundtracks
Tried different sources (set top box, media player playing MKVs, Xbox 360)
Tried the different sound modes Direct, Pure Direct etc.
Tried the Standard button on the remote
The only thing that did the trick was pressing the stereo button on the remote but this is obviously not a solution.
Another interesting fact is that during playback of a movie the issue may or may not go away after a period of time elapses.
Even if the noise goes away though the moment you start playback of something else the noise comes back.
Any suggestions or experience would be much appreciated!
