Loud humming noise during disc playback: Anyone else?

Same issue here, but only seems to happen with Blu-ray discs. Never saw anyone else mention this in a review--here or elsewhere (cnet, pc magazine). Keep meaning to contact Sony because hopefully it's a defect that can be fixed. If not, it's a big ding on the quality. FYI, I rested the player's four feet on four thick pieces of padding to quiet the vibrations. Dr. Scholl's shoe inserts work quite well (but shouldn't be needed!).

I have not noticed it. But I use it only for playing DVD with sales info in the Salon. There is a lot of background noise there so I may not be as tuned in to it. Sorry. Ill hope someone else has a better answer for you.

Hey, I hear the beeping when I'm taking the video and when the video is played online. It's more than irritating. It's a defect. Also, the volume is way too low. I'm irritated that these critical things aren't right.

I have. Less than 1 week old. Using HDMI cable. Played "Polar Express" (Full Screen Version) and player "stutters" every 5 minutes or so.Tried two other "wide-screen" discs and the "stuttering" did not happen. Playing to a new Magnavox 47" LCD.Home burned vacation DVD's upconverted and played just great! Very Good for audio CD's also!

Lucy,I found the source of my hum. I have Direct TV HD. I found that going into the menu settings/Audio/Sound Effects and turning that option off, I was able to rid myself of the annoying hum. The option has something to do with keeping the audio settings from channel to channel, while it is changing you hear dead air except for the hum. Nice and quit now. Love this receiver!Larry

Mine works just fine in my ps3 I have not heard any odd noises coming from the unit. I've been using it for a few months without any issues. This may be something with your drive. Possibly defective but I can't say for sure.

It certainly has some noise.. a spinning or whirring noise is normal for these drives in my experience. However, clicking noises often mean trouble (not the slight 'clicking' you might hear if you get close while it's writing information). I would have a backup of any data, even if the drive seems fine (always)..

I have two pairs and both had a humming sound when plugged into AV receivers. The humming sound was much lower when plugged into the high-end AV receiver.

The sound quality on my CDs was fine. I used them from the CDs but also transferred them to my itunes, and never had issues. If you're having problems with sound I'd contact the company and exchange it for another set. Sounds like a technical issue with the discs.

I would suggest checking the settings on the DVD player. Many will have multiple options for audio output.

I'm having this exact same issue with my TCL 40". If anyone has any ideas on how to to fix this besides buying speakers, it would be appreciated.

Sorry, can't help. We use the machine for DVD only and so far have not encountered this issue.

I figures out it was the disk drive; where you put CDs/DVDs into. I just put a piece of scotch tape over it, and no more buzzing!

There are no moving parts in this SSD. So.. source of humming isn't the SSD. Check for stuff that you removed & remounted in the process of installing this SSD. It may be that something isn't screwed down as tightly as it was prior. And in case anyone was wondering if it could be electrical hum... I doubt it. This is a 5VDC device.... too low a voltage to cause any hum (& besides... it's DC only).

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

I only use my external CD player for loading music onto my mass storage device, so I have no experience on the noise level watching a movie. it is not quiet when reading a music CD.

Try another DVD brand or two. Sounds like your disc drive is having mechanical difficulties. Probably not specific to these Taiyo Yuden discs.
