    Static Discharge and Volume on C2

    In winter, I get an occasional spark from static when touching my audio stand or the equipment on it. This has the unexpected affect of changing the sound level on the C2, even if I do not touch it directly. If I switch inputs on the C2 with the remote the normal volume level returns. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi Mike,

    Yes, sort of simular to your experience. I am now in the habit of touching a metal picture frame before I touch the C2 in order to discharge any static build up (during the winter). Always works for me. I also noticed that when I vacuum around the entertainment center and the C2 is on, a static can build up and cause a simular issue... so I do not use the C2 while using the vacuum. No big deal for me.

    Best wishes
    Vince

      Whoa, no, haven't heard that one either. Are you E.T.? changing channels by touching the TV box?

      Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

        I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now since I picked up a 1068 and the amount of info is great. I've been overwhelmed with the quality of sound and have had no problems with the unit minus one.

        Once the unit and amp are powered on and for instance it turns on in Video1, I then...

I have all the components connected to a PS Audio Juice Bar outlet. I played a some CDs on the first day and it seemed to be...

        Static Electricity?

        I don't know about everyone else, but I've been experiencing alot of static shocks when ever I touch light switches, my equipment rack and even my gear.

        I realized yesterday that they must be pretty strong shocks because yesterday I got shocked by line voltage (don't ask) for the first...
