The sound I hear must be transformer hum. Probably about time to replace the capacitors.<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/105398.aspxSat, 12 Apr 2008 10:40:22 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:105398sajpratty0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/105398.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&PostID=105398<p>Just checked on my 8500 - shouldn&#39;t be all that much different?</p><p>Playing a CD from cold, the tape motor stays off. If I switch to tape the motor starts (no surprise there!) but if I switch back to CD then the tape motor stays running. No idea if it times out and switches itself off. The tape motor isn&#39;t noisy, just a very faint rustle if I listen up close with the lid open.</p><p>Cheers, Steve&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/105396.aspxSat, 12 Apr 2008 10:15:25 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:105396magnushj0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/105396.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&PostID=105396Is the tape drive motor supposed to be running all the time? Even when listening to CDs? It is quite noisy!<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>
