Xenarc causing noise (powering issue)

davem · 05-13-2006, 09:02 PM

Ok, so I just got done with installing my Xenarc screen. I am getting a small line noise issue when the screen gets a signal (beit from the AV2 input or the computer). So the noise comes through my speakers only when the LCD gets a signal.

Now the Xenarc is directly wired into my cigarette lighter (just lopped off the end) and the connection is solid and a good ground as well. It is NOT the comptuer causing the noise as well because even when I didn't have the computer it would make the noise with the AV2 input.

1. Do I need to give the Xenarc regulated power? I don't think so because it handles this internally -- it must because the cigarette lighter adapter has no electronics in it and they intend you to hook it directly into your car then.

Thanks, any ideas will help!

PS: There is also another issue where the AV2 doesn't come on automatically when sensing a signal (if the monitor is in standby) but I'll start another thread on that.

I have the same problem with my Xenarc. Wrote to their support and they told me to turn the volume all the way down.

I have the exact same problem! The noise would go away everytime i restart the monitor. Then about 30 seconds later it will start to come back!

I already turned the volume all the way down to zero! HELP!!!

The volume to zero trick worked for me! Thanks.

I fixed it, i unplugged the speaker wire inside the xenarc!
