Check the source of humming noise. Disconnect the input cables of source one by one. A faulty source should be found. It may be the source or the cable connecting from source to receiver. If a faulty cable, replace it & if it is source, repair it. Also try connecting a separate earthing for the receiver. A separate earthing stud is normally provided in receiver for separate earthing. If none of these solution work then you will have to look inside the receiver for loose earthing from various PCB's especially preamplifier.

It is possible that the amplifier had encountered a fault with a higher current drain which had triggered it to a protection fault condition. The fault can be your output drivers- the MOSFETS/IC's fitted for both the channels, Use a meter after disconnecting to check for short in the drivers. Disconnect the positive and negative voltages to the output and see if the protect changes. Even a fault in the preamp stages that drives in high current into the output can shut the Amplifier. Sometimes this can be a noise like a HUM or HISS before the protect works. Faulty capacitors in these circuits also can cause similar issues and needs close observation.
You need to confirm and replace the specific stages or outputs. If not there can be issues in the mother board, maybe the protect circuit by itself is shutting off due to a faulty bias , maybe a leak in any voltage/current sensing circuit. Also disconnect the speakers and test, if the protect is off then check for short on the speakers.

Guitar amp continuous humming from speaker

Firstly, do not disconnect the speakers from the amp when it is on. Damage is possible.

You have a bad ground somewhere in the hookup. The first suspect would be your guitar-to-amp cord shielding connections at each plug, then, the wiring in your guitar. Try changing each of these to another as a trial, one at a time.

Sounds like a problem in the speakers' internal power supply, maybe a faulty capacitor. Speakers need to be looked at by a technician, or replaced with a new set.

Hello
Switch on your amp, keep its volue down to extreme low, and listen if there is still hum through the left channel or not. If still there is hum, the left side power amplifier section inside the amp;ifier is faulty. If htere is no hum at this state, hum enters thorugh the audio input terminal, and the input wires must be checked for open sheild connection. OK.

After only 5 minutes of turning it on, My Sony STRDH800 emits a loud hum, then the word "protect" is displayed on the screen, then it shuts off. The hum is very loud and you can't turn it down...

Are you sure that's what it is? Something is heating up for sure.

It could be protecting itself because something in the volume control is going bad and sending too much current through the amp or any other reason. In other words, you can guess and buy parts hoping to nail the symptom but not knowing the cause, or you could let a technician do it.

When I hook my PS3 to a stereo A/V player or switch box I get a humming noise that gets louder when i turn up sound

Cables are sometimes expensive for a reason: They offer more or less sheilding from grounds of various
sources, including your own body.

Whatever cables you are using are allowing a 60 Hz hum to interfere with your enjoyment of your unit.

Since the cables have to be in close proximity with both your body and the back of the unit, which emits
a 60Hz signal, from your house wiring, which becomes the humming noise you experience, the AV cables
should be heavily sheilded so as to protect the signal from your MP3 player from interference by the 60Hz
signal to increase the signal to noise ratio and thereby reduce your hum.

So, shop for the cables with the least loss and the highest signal to noise ratio. And enjoy!

Loud humming noise from new hdtv

hello, the speakers are fualty or have a shorted connection if they came with the tv contac your seller and arrange for a replacement imediately dont wait. since they are giving you feedback dont use them they may cuase other fualts in your tv, any component thats cuases hum or noise when pluged into the tv should not be used at all.

one important thing is to have a grounded plug this also may cuase fualts down the line,
if posible get a power line conditioner or ups (uniteruptable power supply)

flat panels are very over protective you dont want the tv to start blinking. since flat panels have built in protection circuts any slight short or fualt may cuase the wide screen to go into circut shutdown mode and this will cost you more if the speakers create a short in your audio circut it may damage your widescreen internal boards and cuase a system shutdown circut (red light flashing no picture)

contac your sellers site let them know your speaker are cuasing a loud hum
and that you will need the speakers replaced these are definitely fualty
if you dont have any coverage or you got the set as is then dont take any chances use other speakers.
if you are electronically inclined you can open these up and find out whats wrong with them internaly it may be a loose connection, since opening up the equipment may void your warantee contac the store first see what they say..
good luck happy holidays
