Buzzing noise My audio system recently started making a constant buzzing noise out of the speakers. When I turn the radio on or the cd player on, I still just get the buzzing noise. When I disconnect the speaker wires or hit mute, the noise stops. Reconnect the wires or turn off the mute and the buzz returns. I have unplugged the power cord to reset the system, but that didn't help. I have check out many forums for help with this problem and it sounds like this is a power supply problem. What do you think? If you have a resolution, can you help me figure out if it is worth fixing based on the repair cost? We paid about $150 to $200 for it. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

JUST PURCHASED AT A YARD SALE, CONNECTED IT AND THERE ARE ISSUES. IT PLAYS BUT SKIPS, STOPS, BUZZES ON SOME CDS, DOES NOT PLAY OTHERS. THERE ARE NO RETURNS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I LIKED THE UNIT. IS IT REPAIRABLE? IS IT WORTH REPAIRING, OR AM I JUST STUCK WITH A FAULTY UNIT. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT.

Of course it will stop buzzing when you mute the speakers. From the limited description, it could be anything from a power supply to loose wires in the system between the speaker leads and the motherboard. Best bet is to take it in to a technician and get a pro's answer. If he wants to charge more than what it's worth to you, get a new one.

I had the same problem with mine and the fix for it was to replace Q401 transistor on the main board. I used a NTE382
replacement and it has worked fine ever since.
Hope this helps

Why Is my RCA home theater system making that noise through the speakers it's like a buzzing noise

It sounds like you are getting bleed through from another device...radio, cd player...etc. This is caused by improper grounding. Some where there is a wire not connected correctly or you need to ground the whole system.

Kenwood KVT-815DVD Unit only buzzes

I bought a Kenwood KVT-815dvd player and got everything hooked up to only find out that it had a security code. The problem now is that I got it from a pawn store and they did not even know that it had a security code on it. So is their a way I can bypass they password or just reset the whole unit so that it does not have one. Also, where is the memory for this unit?
Thank you

Buzzing emitted by vsx-409

Could be the result of having DTS compatible equipment connected through the analog inputs on the VSX-409D. Noise and distortion will result as essentially the DTS signal is being played back undecoded. If this is the case you'll have to connect your LD or CD player through the digital connections (coax or optical) and set 'Signal Select' (button on front) to 'Digital'.

Distortion/noise and buzz in front left speaker

Try to see if the reciever will make the buzzing/noise without anything connected to it except power, and speakers. Tune into a local radio station and see if the noise continues. If the noise has stopped, then you know there is an issue with the player or cable.
