Beovision 5 crackling sound problem

Hi my beovision 5 has developed a crackling sound problem it only happens if left unplugged for long periods of time I don't use it much as I now use my beovision 9 it seems to correct its self if I switch it on and off four or five times picture is also fine?.

Why not leave it plugged in?

Hi I thought it would be better unplugged rather than leaving it on stanbye for long periods

Hi,

Not sure whether this is the solution, but I believe that most B&O products are meant to be plugged constantly and left in standby. While that may seem counterintuitive (both to those of us who are taught to save energy on our standby-products and to those who are senior enough to remember tellys that had to be "warmed up" before producing a good picture), it might be the reason for the crackling sounds.

Best,

I think you are right. Just look at the electronics in modern cars. They don´t like to be left without battery for longer periods of time. On older cars you could disconnect the battery when not in use. Manufactures of cars today recommend that you use a charger to maintain the battery when the car is left for longer periods. Not only for the battery but for the electronics. But I don´t really know what the manufactures of electronics recommends. They probably must hold a environment-friendly stand.

With that said I usually unplug my B&O equipment when on travel during the summer. I don´t want to risk thunderstorm destroying my equipment.But I use a charger to maintain the batteries on my cars and motorbike when they are not in use for lets say two weeks or longer. When at home I have a surge protector connected to my Beosystem 7000 at all times. But I disconnect the equipment if there are thunderstorms coming in.
