I do not hear any popping on the Samsung 4661. I never really listen for it or are that close to it to know for sure though. I would imagine that everything is fine with it. Maybe its just the electricity or static electricity you are hearing. Not an expert so maybe someone else can shed some light.

Here ia a direct quote from the Samsung service manual: "Any `creaking' noise is mostly from the structure of the device itself. A short, harsh noise may occur from a distortion or malformation due to thermal expansion between the metal joints, screws and loaded parts, respectively. Any intermittent `creaking' noise can be removed by loosening the screws." I purchased the service manual out of my own curiosity as to how it works. I will not try to service this set myself while the warranty is in effect. Purchased the manual from "manualuniverse.com" for about $18.00. They also have a manual titled; "Samsung HL--Txx87 & HL-txx89 DLP TV "Halo" Problem Fix". From my previous CRT RP HDTV I often heard a loud crack after the set was turned off for a while. I have not heard that noise from my current HL-T5687S. Good luck!

Luke it sounds like a TV issue. How old is the TV? I bought this device a year ago and it connected and works like a charm, the only issue I have is that my set top box remote is also operating the J Tech box so I had to separate them and now I no longer have that issue. You may want to check the devices that are listed for use with The J Tech

I haven't had that problem, ours goes quite loud. The issue I have is that sometimes when I turn the TV on, there is no sound until I increase the volume, then the sound comes on.

Do the lights show that the bar "thinks" it's off? (ie, it really does turn off). There are some wires connecting this to your audio source - if you disconnect them, does that cause any change? (also, as with any electronics, you might try unplugging, wait 20 seconds, then replug in). I can't think of a good reason for such a noise other than the unit dying, but these things might prove it.

I got a Samsung technician came to my house to fix this crackling noise. He also said he never heard this kind of problems from Samsung before. He changed the power supply, but the crackling persists. He then rescheduled for a new panel. A different technician came with a new panel and replaced it with the one on the tv. Now my tv has much less crackling noise. Maybe one or two pops only, but its manageable for me.

I have owned this tv for about 3 weeks. Picture is great, only issue is volume kicks off every so often , thought it was the high def cable box so I replaced it but get same result, I plan on exchanging tv. Has this volume problem happened to anyone else?

It is the plastic heating up nothing to do with the power if we are talking about the popping noise common after the TV has been on for a period of time and continues when it is turned off. I noticed when my air conditioning turned on it became more intense b/c of the contrast in temperature. You can move the TV or turn it off a couple hours before you sleep i guess thats what i've done is turn it off an hour before i go to bed.

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.

This tv seems to be susceptible to electrical noise or so. i fixed it with a 3-prong adapter like this one http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pRS1C-2266744w345.jpg I installed in the tv electrical cable and now i don't see the pesky lines.

We have not had that issue. But, sounds like you have had it happen on a few different systems which seems really odd. I was thinking it was the A/V cables are not in properly or the tv needs to be turned to a different input. Hope that helps!

Yes I have. I use mines everyday it has happened to me before but only twice and of that happens you just unplug the whole thing and turn off the tv as well for 10 mins. It could be that you don't have good wifi service.

Yes, I have this model, and it makes the popping noises after it has been on for a short time. With mine, it goes away after the TV has been on for a while. It made them a few times after I turned it off as well.

I also have the same problem with my UN46C6500. I have not contactedSamsung yet, but expect that the repair will be made free of charge, since the tv is only 6 months old.

Unplug it, wait a minute or two and plug it back in. I had this problem as well and it was happening a lot, so I returned my tv for a LG...great move, no problems since.
