Same thing happened to mine. There is no way to fix the issue except returning it or sending back to Pioneer

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

I returned mine to the store as it had issues right away-such as the blue tooth not working. Trying to contact Pioneer customer support was frustrating, so I just returned. If you can , I would return and choose something else. Save yourself a huge headache!

At 3 months and two weeks, my refurbed bar started popping loudly at every turn on. This issue (and others) was supposedly addressed in the newer and all refurbished models, but apparently not. Good thing I paid with a credit card, extending the 3 month warranty, but still, the inconvenience. This is a real deal killer, the unit sounds fine, nothing extraordinary (in contrast to so many reviews raving about them), look elsewhere for a model without issues, these are duds.

Mine is doing the same thing, called Pioneer but they don't work on Sundays, will try again tomorrow see if I can find a solution. I relly enjoy the quality and sound crispness of this bar, but the quality is lacking. Bluetooth doesn't work and the poping sound too!! Have to turn it off and on about 6 or 7 times before it works. I think it might be a capacitor malfunction, probably not regulating the amperage correctly.

I had the same problem and ended up replacing one of the 4700uF capacitors on the board. This resolved my problem and only ended up costing me $4 to fix having all the other tools needed to perform the repair.

I have had mine for several years, and no problems whatsoever. It sounds like yours is defective and you should see about having it exchanged.

I ended up replacing mine. It was noisy and would stop on its own. I'd simply replace it!

It seems to be a common problem. Mine did the exact same thing around 5-6 months after I bought it. I ended up getting a new one.

When mine goes on, it makes a loud pop and then a very loud and noticeable vibrating noise, like from a coil or something. This dies down after several seconds, and then it runs quietly....until the next cycle. It cycles several times an hour. Have had the unit for 11 months, and it has made these noises the whole time. Negligible effect on my electric bill.

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

Mine makes a noise when I press the button like it's building up to steam. It's sort of a gurgling or water popping kind of sound. That's normal. Does that help?

I haven't had problems but I usually hold the on button until the pop noise comes up.

Mine is only a couple of weeks old and I hear it popping when cooling down. I use a gas stove and I also smell a weird smell when cooking. Anyone else?

That's strange, try to make some noise, it has a sensor. Mine is working as plug n play.

Turn the volume all the way down in every device in the chain. I know it's a tube thing to pop every time you turn it on and in some cases turning off too.

My CS3 made a pop and it's doing the same thing, buzzing. Mine is out of warranty so I'm getting a Yamaha YAS-203. No more speaker craft for me!!

Can you tell me what you told them that they came and did this? Did it do anything for the popping/cracking sound also?Thanks!

Mine made the same sound. I replaced the actuator and it fixed the problem.

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

Does the popping still occur when you change the source to a channel that the pre-amp not plugged in? Have you tried switching the phono cable that the pre-amp connects to the amp with? I've not had this problem with mine, I'm using a a/c adapter to power mine.
