jwickis addict Registered: 24/08/2000 Posts: 658 Loc: India	Does anyones tuner thump when switching sources? I get a grumble or thump when the tuner is just starting up after being switched from player to tuner. #695-Mk2/8 colors-12Gig/TUNER- awaits v2.x & Voice Recog.

The thump or grumble describes it better, is only about a 1/2 second but if the volume is loud when switching sources the sound is really irritating. It's almost like the tuner is finding the frequency it was last on or the tuner is switching on. I'm going to try it later using the menu switching to see if it does it then as well. #695-Mk2/8 colors-12Gig/TUNER- awaits v2.x & Voice Recog.

As soon as the radio starts, there's a short 1/2 second rumble as the tuner module powers up. I thought it was normal tuner behavior as it powers up... this never happens with "player" mode. _________________________ [yellow] ________________ Grant Eaton ProtonVehiCROSS [/yellow]

ProtonVehiCROSS new poster Registered: 16/09/2001 Posts: 36 Loc: Seattle, WA	Yes, I think it could be fixed by adding a 1/2 second delay before audio is turned on. This would give sufficient time for the tuner to finish powering up, which is what it sounds like is happening. _________________________ [yellow] ________________ Grant Eaton ProtonVehiCROSS [/yellow]
