My unit has pink noise/hiss on AUX in source only. It starts above volume 22 and above 30 it is really bad, with or without cable. How is yours?

Have not used the AUx jack yet - Are you using an amp? Does it happen when you use just the CD player with a store bought cd. It could be the source you are using for the aux- Is it a phone - try and ipod as the source

With the device you are using on AUX, do you also have it plugged into your cig lighter for charging? If you disconnect it from the charger, does it go away? If so you have a ground loop problem.

I have no problems with mine. I would check for a loose connection or possibly the plug to Wht ever your running it to may be worn out

Well because I use to turn it up that high I now have tinitus so I probably wouln't notice it since my ears are constantly ringing. Also I mostly use usb or my ipod. Darin

I've never used the Aux input, but I do get some slight alternator noise on radio or CD. This is usually due to ground loops existing within the system, and can be reduced by splicing in ground loop isolators. I've reduced it, but not eliminated it entirely. Still playing around with it... John

I don't use AUX input but just tried this and have the same hiss. With Disc, BT or USB I don't have it.

The unit does have a hiss sound which is not too noticeable during playback.I tried a few things to alleviate the hiss to no avail.

Did you also unplug the player? It sounds crazy but electronics these days are very sensitive. It works for me 99.9.

You might get a slightly less noisy final output due to the absence of the additional physical connection of the input plug to jack but otherwise, that would depend entirely on the source of the analog signal you give it as input via the AUX jack. If it's a good analog signal (like even typical on-board DACs in computjers), you are unlikely to notice much difference.

I hear mine great, I'd check your receiver settings to make sure the DB level is set properly across all channels (speakers)

Yes I have the same hissing sound on my unit too. Not too excited about it either. I am from Canada, and shipping it back and forth to the USA will be too much of a hassle and too expensive to do, so I'll just keep it as is. :-(

Mine is September 2010 also. What I did last night was pull the TV back out of the box and hook it back up in our room. In complete silence, I can hear a slight noise when the volume level is between 1-2. If I put it on 0, I hear nothing and anything above 2 I hear nothing. This is a gift for my son for Christmas. Once it's actually up in his room and has been used for a couple days I will check it again. What kind of connections are yall using?

Could be cable / power point issue..the XLR cable will cut off the hum..( Balanced cable )..

Update, I just tried it while playing the ps3 and muted it and there was definitely the same noise. Maybe a bad PSU? Any input would be very appreciated.

I have never had a hissing noise from my unit. The only sound from my unit is the voice giving me directions.

As others have suggested, the hiss is coming from something upstream of the speaker. I have two of these speakers and have used them extensively, and they are silent except for the signal coming in. If you are using a mixer or some other input device that requires you to set the level, pay close attention to the procedure for doing so. Improperly set levels can cause noise problems when you turn up the volume to the level you're after.

I have had this unit for almost a year in live application and have not experienced any unusual noise or hiss. I am sure if the gain structure is wrong any unit could have the potential for noise. hope that's what you wanted to hear

Get a refund. Even if you get it to work the sound quality will be terrible. If you have an aux input I would suggest the Harmon Kordon BTA-10.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.
