KC, you could have a ground problem with one of the connected components. This use to be common when record turntables were in widespread use, you had to connect the ground wire from the turntable to the receiver. So you could try disconnecting your components one at a time and see if this makes the buzz go away. You could also try unplugging each component from AC power one at a time, or rearrange the routing of the power cords.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have connected many speakers and the only thing that comes to mind is a short in one of the speaker wires. Also check to make sure you haven't crossed over one of the positive and negative connections. Additionally a buzz can be caused by interference. Are any of your speaker wires close to a power cord? Maybe a little induction in one of the speaker wires. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would try disconnecting and then reconnecting your speaker wire. If that doesn't work try some new speaker wire. Make sure that all of your + lines go to + inputs and same for - to - from the speaker to the receiver and that they all have good contact from the copper wire to the connections. This Pioneer is my 2nd receiver. My 1st receiver was a Sony and it SUCKED bad...the HDMI inputs stopped working within a year. This Pioneer has been excellent so far.
