RSP 985 crackling noise

[deloner]

I just bought a Rotel RSP 985(i use it with RMB1075).It was a demo unit.When i turn the volume knob, or change source, you can hear a crackling noise in all the speakers.It sounds electrical as static electrisity (sorry about the spelling).When i play music,watch movies there isn't a problem.It's just when i turn the volume knob or change source from cd too dvd etc.

Before i got the 985 i used Yamaha RX-V1300RDS as processor with the 1075, and it was dead silent.No problems with that combination.

Is there anyone here who has a clue what the problem can be? That crackling is very annoying.

Thanks

Well, I have hard the 985 on a show in Holland a long time ago.

It sure did not do anything like you describe. It is a very good processor.

I think it is defective. Especially since the Yammy had no problems.

Good to know that Rotel has a 5 year warranty.
