Help: Distorted / Metallic sound in Surround-Mode. (Beosystem 3)

2 replies

Dear Beoworld community,

I have a strange issue:
When I'm using all speakers while watching a movie the whole audio sounds kind of metallic / distorted / echoing.
When I switch the Beosystem 3 to use only the Center + Subwoofer, everything  sounds normal.
It happens, too when I'm using Center + Front and Subwoofer only.

What's that and how do I get rid of it? :-)

I think that you should start by looking whether at which source it appears. There are known issues with settop boxes where the  PSU starts to fail. Sounds not logic at first, but it's a start.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.
