I'm experiencing a popping or cracking sound even when the turntable not being used. what can I do to eliminate the problem? I have a denon 1913 AVR .

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.

Return it and spend a little more on something better. It's a piece of junk. I bought one of the about a year ago and it died in less than six months. I learned my lesson...

Check your cables and connections. Mine has worked reliably since I got it. Try googling the problem

If this is heard only when set to PHONO, you could be experiencing static discharge (especially in very dry winter weather or if you routinely leave a record on the platter). Google "records static electricity" for more and suggested fixes.

This happened to me once before but it wasn't a problem with the tone arm. I tried to play different records to isolate the problem and it turned out that my vinyl record was defective. There was no visible scratch on the LP so I didn't initially think there was an issue on the music. You may want to check your vinyl or look under the needle to see if some lint has accumulated there.

Make sure the adapter is sitting directly on the turntable and the adapter fits in the center hole of the record. Hope that solves your problem.

My daughter doesn't have a problem with her turntable. She said turn up the volume. Good luck.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for your problem. However, what you describe sounds like a manufacturing defect because the turntable is not supposed to move until the door a is closed and powered on for the desired time.

Did you loosen the turntable screw? Did you remove the needle cover? Other than that, you will need to contact vendor. Tell them they must pay return postage (UPS return tag)

Hi Paige, We are also using this for a church group but are not experiencing distortion. We occasionally experience some hissing and popping, which is related to batteries beginning to go bad; usually they last about a month with 2-3 hours per week of use. Also, line of sight helps between the mics and the receiver antennas. On stage is preferrable, if the receiver is in the back of the house try to get it up high; human bodies are mostly water and absorb radio signals better than allowing them to pass through. This would be more of a hiss/pop issue, as well, not really distortion. As for the distortion, are you using the "mix" output (XLR) or the four individual 1/4" connectors for output? Both are at line level (+4dB), not mic level (-10dB). If you're using the XLR mix output, make sure the input on your sound board is set to line level, if you can make that adjustment; if not, a quick trip to a live sound store (music or stage) can get you a 20dB XLR pad to reduce the level. In a pinch, you can try turning the knobs on the front of the unit to about half-way and see if that reduces the distortion. If you're using the four separate 1/4" outputs, same applies-they're line level outputs, your sound board should have a switch to select +4/-10, set it to +4; if not, four 20dB 1/4" pads should do the trick. Hope something in this post helps. :-)

I've only used it twice. The "popping" should stop after about 20 secs., and before it is used. It is a steam processor, so it does sound like a toy train engine. If it's stronger than that, there could be a problem.

Yes, I have the same exact issue and it's very annoying. It seems to me that it is the plastic casing. The popping starts about 10 minutes after I turn on the television and lasts about 20-30 minutes. It then stops and starts again when I turn it off. I wonder what we can do about it?? Seems like something that Samsung won't be able to fix.... Has anyone contacted Samsung?

Thank you! I finally solved the hum problem by plugging the iMic into "Line Out" on my amplifier instead of directly into my turntable. The hum disappeared! Hope you got your hum solved, too.Maria

Every several months, my cassette deck rejects the device. What I do is keep the music playing, then keep putting it in a few times until it accepts it. It's been maybe a year since I've had to do it. I would try cleaning the cassette deck if it. I don't see how this thing could destroy a player unless you are being really rough with it.

If the device you're playing it I is close to other electronic that could happen, or if you're charging it. Happens with most devices. But if it's not playing music and making static noises a wire could be broken. But without seeing the problem myself I don't know what's up with with it. Maybe if you could record a YouTube video And respond again?

Same VTA. If the platter is shot, you can't avoid "static?" I thought the smaller and smaller tips on current styli would pick up the signal from an unworn part of the groove, so an old record would sound pretty much like new. Not so... I could tell within a few seconds into the vinyl that the mat really knocked out a lot of noise, rumble,distortion.

I had the same problem, the flatscreen LCD TV made a loud crack or pop every few miutes, very annoying.I had a COX HD box (digital cable box from cable company) and had to unplug the box wait about fifteen seconds, then plug it in again. Had several days to weeks until I had to unplug the box again and then plug it in again.The pop was from some static created in the box and passed to the sound unit of the HDTV. Nothing to do with hot plastic.

Possible setup issue. But if you did it right and use hdmi arc it may be a defect. I only hear the relay clicks from the reciever but not popping sounds from the speakers. Try muting something outside your network like the radio and iPhone through usb. If it still pops I would say it's defective.

the same thing has been happening to me. I think it may have something to do with the slight spark and pop that occured when I attempted to connect my speaker wire while the unit was on.

The popping noise is likely the liquids bubbling and burning on the burner at the base of the unit. You can purchase another clay pot directly from the manufacturer. I've had mine for many years. It's essential to follow the directions on how to care for the pot. I never use dish soap and I always wait for the pot to cool and only use warm water and a plastic scraper to remove stuck-on food. When the pot is hot I am careful never to bump it. It requires a great deal of care, but the benefit of having a natural product is worth it for me.
