    RSP 985 crackling noise

    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.

          Rb-985?
          by june
          Hello All,

          We are currently running Paradigm Studio 100's v2 & CC center with the Rotel RB-985 & RSP-1068. Will our sound improve if we upgrade to a more powerful Rotel amp? The 985 is 100 watts per channel. Will upgrading to the 130 watts amp improve the sound? Or jump up...

          RSP-985 Volume Control
          by Oyama
          My RSP-985 tends to make a scratchy/static noise when raising or lowering the volume control. IIRC it has done this from day one.

          Any other RSP-985 owners experience this? I was thinking of opening it up and spraying some Caig Calilub on the Volume pot or is this a bad idea? E-mailed...

          Got my new RSP-1098 - a question/problem
          by sramsay
          Hi All,

          Well I finally did it and upgraded my RSP-980 and RDA-975 to the RSP-1098 using a Rotel RB-985 AMP.

          First of all, the new processor is a beast. The 2 channel music is great and the surround sound processing is magic in comparison to my old gear.

          I...
