I have a Premier DEH-P8MP with an amp to the component speakers. when i play mp3 cds i here this fuzz-static noise that its really annoying. it happens when i turn it up and the louder i turn it the louder it gets. its hard to explain.

i would like to know how to get rid of it. i tried buring them at a lower speed, i did it at 4x and it still does it. It also does it to more than one cd. The songs are off of the original cds and they are burned in 320kbs in mp3 format.

...you get this noise only when you are playing mp3's, correct? and the noise increases in amplitiude the higher you turn up the volume?

sounds like an error of sorts in your burning process or seems like a glitch in the pioneer deck. The only time i can tell you a related story was when i up-converted a 112kb/sec mp3 to a 128kb/sec and then burned it...did i get a sound that wasn't too clear.

not sure about your exact problem. try this: take those MP3 discs and play them in a friends mp3 cd player (car preferrably). take some of his, and play them in yours. see what happens.

That's odd. Is it on every cd or just some? Also does it happen on radio stations. Find a bought cd and try playing it in there, then like John said, play some of your mp3 cds in a friends car and play some of his in yours. It does sound like an error in burning or ripping phase since you said they are off of the original cd. Try ripping them again onto your computer and then burning them to a new cd. Also what ripping/burning program do you use?

I used Windows Media player to burn them and Roxio Easy Cd Creator 5 to burn them. I don't know if this will help or not. Mayby there is a problem with one of these programs that i am not aware of?

I got my Cd player of the internet of some car stereo web site... can't remember witch one but it would be a real pain in my [bootyshak to return

 

[svt_gEEk]

Well, neither of those burning programs should be a problem. I use Nero but I have used windows media player. Have you tried a different sampling rate other than 320?

 

[justin025]

I just tried a bought cd and it still does the same thing. It was recorded in 1998 if that makes a difference. Man this just busts by bubble. It really ruines the experience. Should it do it if it is played really loud. The head unit is 60x4 mosfet and it puts out 6.5 volts the the rca's which it is hooked up to. All the wires are from walmart. Scosch or whatever it is (only because any other place is 1/2 hour away and walmart is 3 minutes). could it be bad connections? I have rockford fanatic Q series tweeters in the pillers right behind the front seats and it is really noticable. Also would it do that or does it sound different if you mix up the positive and negative wires? Would it be anything with the amp that i am running it through, it is a Pyrimad but i am getting a Legacy 1000watt 4 channel amp today so if it does i guess i will know but maybe it is just like that withe lower quility amplifiers... i don't know i am stumped. Any suggestions welcome PLEASE!!!

 

[justin025]

I have not tried a different rate. Isn't it the higher the better quality sound. Would different format help. My HU will play any format out there

 

[svt_gEEk]

I'd run mp3 format at 256kbps. The higher the rate the better, but you won't notice the difference in anything higher than 256kbps unless you have a very keen ear. Your cd drive could have problems ripping at 320 also, that could cause it.

 

[justin025]

I tried a store bought cd and it still does it ( not altered in any way)

 

[DidHeFocus?]

If you hear distortion and it gets worse the more you turn it up, something is wired wrong, or the HU or speakers are bad.

 

[SkyPilot]

as far as the burned cd's most car headunits are very sensitive to burned cds and you need to use a high quality CD-R like a SONY or KODAK cd and not the blue light special cd i know it sounds dumb but i noticed the increas in sound quality when i bought sony cds comp-ared to memorex i would give that a try and maybe you cd laser lense needs to be cleanes which usally cost around $10 for a cleaning kit, give a better quality CD-R a try and see what happens and give it a good cleaning if that doesent work i would either replace the headunit or speakers, good luck hope this helps a little

 

[svt_gEEk]

If you tried a store bought one and it still does it, I'd say check your wiring connections.

The HU is no more than a month or two old and the speakers are about 2 weeks old and the tweeters are about a year old. i did accidently drop them though, dang things are so small. When i wired my tweeters i cut a splice around the front two speaker wires by the harness and wrapped the tweeter wires around it and then black taped them up. no i didn't use sodder because my gun is broke (christmas i hope to get a new one.) that could be. I so hope it is not the headunit, if so could i return it to and authorized dealer of Pioneer/Priemer with the appropraite paperwork or do i need to bring it to the original dealer.

My HU is 60x4 channel mosfet and needs an upgraded power supply but i just hooked it up to the facory things. There are fuses and black box filter things i think that are on the harness coud a loss of ampuratures or another factor be contributing to this problem.

 

[DidHeFocus?]

I think you should have your stuff properly installed by someone who knows what they're doing before you try to make a warranty claim!

 

[justin025]

Priemer has a 2 year warrenty on there products no matter who installs them

Right, but no warranty covers damage due to improper wiring. It covers manufacturing defects only!

My point was to hook it up the RIGHT way before bringing it back, there may be nothing wrong with the HU.
Your own description of your install sounds shoddy at best.

 

[svt_gEEk]

I just had a thought. I read that you're HU requires an extra power supply but you just hooked it up to the factory power. Go ahead and hook it up straight to the battery like it says and make sure you have a good ground. Poor grounding can be the root cause of alot of problems.

 

[justin025]

I will try that when i get some time. thank you for your help. All the rest of the speakers are hooked up with connectors it is just that one connection because i didn't know how to do it but i just found a way to so i will switch them.
