Rotel 1067 Need Help!

[captaincanuck]

I purchased a Rotel 1067 at Christmas 04 and I need some assistance and/or your expertise. I think I have a bit of a problem. I'm using the Rotel with Definitive Tech speakers (7.1 DT2002's). After the unit has been on for a few hours its starts with a crackle (for lack of a better term) in one of the side speakers and progresses from there. Worst I have heard it get is a loud crackle, hum etc. from all seven speakers. When you shut the unit off using the main power switch on the back of the unit - it goes away. couple of other smaller issues - i hear a constant hum when there is no sound signal going through the speakers. tends to be drowned out when watching a movie or satellite. Secondly, evrey once in awhile when you switch the video (on the rotel) from DVD to Sat or Sat to XBOX, etc. you don't get a picture. If you do it again, then you get the picture. Hope this makes sense. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

The crackling is a known problem on early production units, will need to fixed by Rotel. The hum sounds like a ground loop, get the crackling fixed first. On the video problem, how is everything hooked up and what outputs are you using to your TV?
