If the source equipment clock rates are operating outside
the specification of the AV8 phase locked loop circuit you
may experience “a hissing noise” from the audio outputs.
In this situation it is advisable to switch the phase locked
loop circuit off of the input giving the problem. Using the
second page of the engineering menu select the input and
turn the PLL (phase locked loop) from AUTO to Off.
This can happen with Broadcast signals particularly from
satellite, cable or terrestrial digital TV.
