The pop occurs when 1st plugged in. Does not pop when turned on. When turned off has a delayed pop. BTW this is not the muffled sound you hear with many sets. It is Loud. Check the reply to Jim Meyers. Paul Garbage <damon101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Oh , we've had this problem......but we chose to ignore it. I always wonder if this is when you plug it in or if it's when you hit the power switch. I see it's 'plug - in' but "turned off"......power switch or unplug??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul" To: Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 9:12 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Question Thomson technical help. > I have posted the problem and haven't come up with a fix. It is an RCA ctc197A. There are apparently variations in this circuit because the collector of the mute transistor Q11900 has a .84 ohm resistor to ground and 0 volts. If I lift that resistor I lose the sound. Other circuits show 31v on the collector. The problem is a delayed loud pop in the sound when plugged in and also when turned off. I have replaced the mute transistor and a couple of caps in the supply for the sound. Several have tried to help and I am not unappreciative, but maybe no one else has had this problem.
