Happy Thanksgiving!
I recently bought a 52" LCD HDTV and set it up with my old speakers on each side of the stand. The speakers are MTX 4-Way with 15" subwoofers. I can look for a model number if it makes any difference. Yeah, I know they're big, but I love the sound.
Anyway, I usually don't have a problem playing sound through it. However, two or three times in the last week, all of the sudden I get a very loud humming noise. That's the best way I can describe it. Also, it's important to mention that all the normal audio (voice, sound effects, music, etc.) is gone when this happens. The first time it happened, I was watching a movie, and this humming started about half way through, surprising the hell out of me, especially since the humming is about twice as loud as the movie audio was.
The only way I got the humming to stop and the normal audio back, was to turn off my receiver and turn it back on again.
My TV has the ability to turn off the TV speakers and use the audio system. BTW, I have a Sony KBL52W3000. One thing about it that I don't like is it doesn't use a Line connection, so my audio system volume is affected by the tv volume. Maybe that has something to do with this?
So, this has happened a couple more times, and I'm worried that I might be damaging something. Not to mention, it's annoying as hell. Is this a magnet issue? Do I have to sell these speakers and get something that I can put farther from the TV? Am I maybe not setting it up right? I have all my sound sources (DVD, CD) go to the TV, then out to the receiver via RCA or composite audio cables (the red and white ones, whatever they're called).
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.
