I have this beast receiver here from Pioneer. Its been in the system for a while obviously second hand as its from 2012.
Its doing a lot of things right but I am hearing what sounds like clipping/distortion on voices when watching tv, shield tv etc. This happens on centre, where centre information exists and on the fronts in stereo mode. The fronts is pre out to a supernait.
Its hard to explain because it does not sound like distortion constantly its when people being to speak or at perhaps the leading edge of words kind of thing. It sounds like someone on a mic in the disco if you know what I mean.
Supernait sounds fine for other sources, so its not that. Previously I had a yamaha receiver in with no distortion exhibited.
Before I get round the back of this thing, is there likely to be anything physically amiss inside? I think they are class D amps and to my ears the distortion is only around voices, low end seems fine. There are no funny mystical smoke fairies or anything. When I put on a DTS movie sound improves a lot but then I think there may be an element of compression going on plus of course sub noise and all the rest. I think on simple stereo from youtube its more enhanced because its a simple stream.
There is literally a billion settings in the system, feasibly I may have got something wrong, but I have even resorted to RTFM. That being said I can adjust three 'standing waves' in audio and have no idea what all thats about.
Any hints on where on where to begin would be nice!
