HTS5131-noise

Hi,
All of a sudden my soundbar produces a terrible noise. Same noise as when you are in between radio stations. Right speaker worse than left one. It is not the dvd as it also produces the noise when streaming music. It must be in the soundbar because all sounds well when playing thru tv speakers. Anyone similar problems, solutions?

Latest fw on there? Looks though more as a technical issue

If latest firmware is there and you have done a reset of the device etc, unplugged speakers and all others then not good.

For easylink If Home Theatre System (HTS) does not wake up automatically when the TV starts up from standby.

• Ensure that your TV is HDMI-CEC compliant with system audio control functionality and activated. For detailed information, refer to the user manual of the TV.

• If you are having a Philips TV, you need to select the 'Home>Setup>TV settings>EasyLink>TV speakers>EasyLink Autostart'

• Ensure the HTS and TV are connected via a HDMI cable.

And follow these steps to setup your HTS:

1. Press (Home)
2. Select [Setup], and then press 'OK'
3. Select [EasyLink] > [EasyLink], and then press 'OK'
4. Select [On], and then press 'OK'
5. Select [EasyLink] > [System Audio Control] > [On], and then press 'OK'
6. Select [EasyLink] > [Audio Input Mapping], and then press 'OK'
7. Follow the instructions on the TV screen to map the audio input of the connected device.

Firmware is up to date-
I have tried to disconnect soundbar from tv, and move it to another place in the house, and then reconnect the power, put a cd in, but the noise is still there.

The other stuff about the easylink, is done like you discribe, but it sometimes loose connection, and the scan on the soundbar can´t find my tv (it´s from the Philips 6000 LED series). If I shut the power off on both units and then tries again after power up, it seems that they find each other again.

I suppose there is no other way than to return the soundbar to the dealer and hope for a solution.

Just got my soundbar back from repair, and they have put a new power supply in it.
No noise any more ;o)
