apeters89 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 When I play CD's the sound is fine, but as soon as I press record, to copy the disc to the library I start hearing a loud clicking/buzzing sound. This sound is also present when I play back the recorded songs. If you press the "recording stop" button the sound goes away. any ideas? edit: these are not burned CD's, these are store-bought cd's.

jimmy303 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Make sure your Z1 is grounded well. I have had this happen in an F-250 when using a Metra harness, turned out the factory ground wire sucked. I grounded the Z1 to a good chassis ground, noise gone.

cntrylvr79 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah things like an avic I rarely use the factory ground. If I do, I run a second ground to a dash brace or another good ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

apeters89 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I had the shop check the ground. We went so far as to run a 10ga wire straight to the ground terminal on the battery. The problem still occurs. They're bringing in a new Z1 tomorrow... good thing I haven't customized it a lot yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apeters89 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 for those 3 people on the internet that know how to use the search feature... The new Z1 fixed the problem. No one at the shop had ever heard of this, even their Pioneer rep had never heard of anything similar. Who knows what was wrong, but the new unit fixed it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Probably that min fuse thing on the rca outputs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apeters89 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Probably that min fuse thing on the rca outputs. I'm not using an external amp, so I don't know what the RCA's would affect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I don't know either. Guess there's a first time for everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
