is it normal to hear a hiss from the speakers at a loud volume when a cd is paused in a blue ray player

No. Like someone else said, you have either a cabling issue or a nearby device is causing interference.

Exact same thing just happened to me. I'm disappointed since there are so many great reviews, and this looks like a great CD player. But mine must be defective. Sending back to amazon today

Make sure the pink noise is a little below listening volume when you burn it in. You don't want to damage the drivers.

I don't experience a hiss, but it's common if attaching speakers to internal audio cards due to electrical interference. Some computers are designed to handle this better. Similar to Rob, my MBP does that when attached to an external monitor. My PC has no problem. If you keep experiencing hissing problems and it bothers you, consider a USB sound card.

I also agree with the checking the cables but here's another thing to look at. This kind of interference or feedback only happens to me when I don't turn everything on in the right order. That is computer on, Pioneer DDJ-SR on, open Serato, turn on subwoofer (passing the Eris 8's via the sub (Temblor 10), the Eris 8's on. No feedback, although there is very minute hissing. If I turn the speakers on first all kinds of hissing and feedback. That's been my experience. Not sure how you're using these but Hope that points you towards resolution.

I am very interested in what you find out. I am looking at the 980H mainly as a cd/sacd/dvd-a player.I have read many reviews on it and none have mentioned that the first few seconds of cd are cut off, the only one being on this site.Very interesting.

I have not experienced any problem as described with my speakers. Sorry I can't be of more help.

no. it's not normal. something is loose in the speaker/broken inside, maybe a piece of wood from the speaker and that might be what is moving around. nothing should be moving around inside the speaker box. however, how is the sound? do you hear any crackling? any funny noise? anything out of the ordinary?

Never had this problem but it sounds as if the Autoplay function for the CD is turned off. Go to the Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, and check the settings for Autoplay. Hope this helps.

Mine just quite playing. Stops in the middle of a song so it is not the CD switch. Very disappointed. Tried different CD's with the same result.

I am going through the same problem that you have and listen to the same type of music (classical music and folk music) and have been told the same thing. I have a friend who has the same system as me and I used one of his speakers in place of my one malfunctioning one and I don't hear the hiss anymore. I'm in the middle of a troubleshooting argument with their staff right now, and I fear that they would be wasting my time and theirs in insisting it is the amp in the back.

I seldom experience a hissing or crackling. When I do I just scan and the noise goes away. This happens very infrequently to me. I rarely have any problems with hissing. I found out a while back that if you are too close to the TV you may experience a hissing. Just move a little bit away and it will clear up.

Not normal, but remember that the sound will come on at the last volume set so if you left it up high that's the way it will start up. I don't believe we have any problem in a delay to set the volume though.

I think this is normal. All HD-DVD and Bluray players have a delay in spitting out the disc tray and playing. Some mentioned the latest firmware update should speed it up a little. But don't worry about it being faulty becuase they are all like that.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

I have never had a hissing noise from my unit. The only sound from my unit is the voice giving me directions.

This is not normal. I believe the hissing sound in your system originates from a cross talk of the audio in cable (that connects between your Bose unit to your PC) or your power source. Try the following : Re-route the audio cable (avoid running the cable parallel to a power line) which is the easiest, or try using a power converter/stabilizer. Before you invest in a power stabilizer, unplug the audio input from your PC and crank up the volume gradually. If there is no noise, then your power line is "clean". If you plug in the audio cable back to the PC and the hissing sound re-appear, the source could be the PC or the audio cable cross talk, or the poor earthing of the chassis of your PC.
