I just bought a Sony Receiver (STR-DG600) and set it up last night. It sounds great (especially for how inexpensive it is), but has an annoying 1 Hz "tick" coming through all 7 speakers with all inputs, even at full mute. Ticking does not increase with increased volume (i.e. it is drowned out by signal, not amplified with signal). This morning I unplugged all other pieces that have connections to the receiver (except the CD player which plugs into the back of receiver). Did not fix it. Still have to try: 1. Un-plug CD player 2. Pull out all in/outputs (even though they were all unplugged) 3. Pull out speaker pairs one at a time What else should I try? The only thing that I can think of that could generate one tick per second is if my AC has a peak every cycle (being 60 Hz). What else is there?? Please help me, audio pros!!!
