Loud sound when I switch from input to input ,is this normal on a SP1.7.

I ordered an SP2 but till it's here I have a loaner, a SP1.7.

When I switch from input to another input I always put the volume down to zero, so there is no sound coming unexpected through my loudspeakers. But with this SP1.7 when I put the volume to zero and I switch to another input there is coming a very loud sound through the speakers. Now is my question: is this normal? I expect no loud sound through my speakers when I switch from one source to another source.

This does not sound normal! From my experience, when I switch from one source to another with some volume gain, at the very most I hear a "tick" sound. I have been told this is normal because different sources will have varying voltages. It also depends on the preamp circuitry.

Even though the volume is zero, unless you have a hard mute, there could still be residual sound coming from the source selector.

I agree, it is not normal.  The loaner sounded like it needs to go back for a checkup.

You probably have an early version of the firmware that had issues?  What software version is it?

You can see the firmware version as soon as you turn the unit on.  You mentioned it's a loaner so I wouldn't worry about it.

All you need to do now is wait for your SP2 and the switching noise will disappear. :thumb:
