Should I take my AVR outside and shoot it?
Obvious hyperbole in the title.
I finally got all my theater equipment.
AVR: Denon X3800H (Best Buy open box)
Front L/R: Klipsch RP-8400 F II
Center: Klipsch RP-504 C II
Subs: SVS PB-2000 Pro (2x)
Amp: Emotiva BasX A2+
4 ceilings speakers and 4 wall speakers
Except the AVR, everything is brand new.
Everything carefully wired with 12 ga OFC cables and banana plugs etc
Went through the Audessey calibration and have a high pitch wine coming from all the speakers.
Things I have tried:
- All power cables away from audio cables and plugged into the same power strip
- Lowering sub volume
- Amp powers front left/right or amp powers back ceiling
- Unplug everything except one speaker - whatever is plugged in wines
- Checked all cables/plugs for anything loose
- Unplugged all video inputs/outputs
- Taking a deep breath, having a couple beers, going to bed, and trying again in the morning after a full AVR reset.
The whine only stops when the AVR is off. If it is on, whatever is plugged in is wining. With or without the amp being involved.
I’ve gone through the troubleshooting circle jerk with ChatGPT and watched a dozen videos. Am I missing something? I’m about to go crazy
Is my “brand new open box” AVR from Best Buy the problem?
It is worth noting that my knowledge about home theater equipment is limited entirely to the feedback on my previous post and the hours of troubleshooting I’ve gone through in attempt to solve this.
