I have owned my champagne/rosewood sidecheeks Yamaha DSP A1 since new and I love it loads.
I've had the display replaced (dead pixels) and I've even had 'proper' speaker outputs fitted to it by an authorised Yamaha service centre.
But last night, while watching The Darjeeling Limited, it made a couple of odd loud 'metallic sucky-pop' noises. No idea how to describe it, other than that aside from the noise being quite loud.
It's not mains related, it's not a clipping issue and it's not associated with the new speaker terminals. I know this because I remembere it happening at our old house. Which rules out the mains. It's not clipping because I'm using different speakers. It's not the new speaker terminals because it happened before I got the new ones fitted.
It 'seems' to only happen whenever I'm playing a multi channel audio source. Stereo signals haven't (so far) done it.
I snooped around the web for a bit but couldn't find any documented problems. But I did discover a code to get into the diagnostic menu:
"to get to the diagnostic menu on the machine press power button set menu + button and next key all at the same time which will take you to the diagnostic menu"
Which totally confuses me as I don't seem to be able to access this via the supplied hack.
Has anyone had any experience of this problem with the A1? Or has anyone managed to access the diagnostic menu?
Help!
