Just kidding. Sounds to me like a connection problem. As Jefferson mentioned, car or home stereo would help a bit. Either way, usually if there is a loose connection with any of the speaker wires, you will experience "pops." The fact that it stops when you hit it, shows that your interaction is changing the overall connection of your stereo. When it does stop and you go back to watching, it is probably the speaker vibrations that are loosing the connection again. If nothing changed when you hit it, I would expect it to be an electrical issue. My suggestion... pull it out, re-wire it from scratch... making sure that all metal is connected and not in a position that it can contact any other metal. It might sound like the last thing you want to do, but putting out the flames of your freshly scorched receiver is much less fun. Hope that helped a little. There has to be an audio specialist on this forum somewheres... Stay and Keep :jointsmile:
It is a home stereo. One of those mini stereo systems. This was a Philips stereo. I forget the model or anything related to that. I will try to fiddle with the speaker wires. Thanks!
Anubis10012007 Reviewed by Anubis10012007 on . Please help me with a stereo!! I'm sure there are some of you who know about stereos. My problem is that the speakers keep clicking now when I turn the receiver on. I would hit the back of the stereo and it would be fine, than it goes back to the popping. I've done this for a week and still it keeps popping. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the receiver or the speakers themselves and what I can do about it. Can anyone help me? I don't have the money to get it fixed right now but I will later on. Rating: 5
