Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this? Thanks.
Impossible to diagnose at a distamce, I am afraid, but it does sound as if something in the D/A section of your receiver has failed. Have you added any other sources? Do you get the buzzing if you switch to other inputs?

Hi Moosergooser
What you described sounds very similar to what I did months ago.
I first swopped the speakers around to determine if I might have unknowingly damaged them. Thereafter I swopped the speaker cables althought after speaking to the local dealer realised was unnecessary, that's a component which doesn't trip often esp with banana plugs.
When it doubt I think an additional source always helps with troubleshooting as John mentioned. I finally used a standard audio cable to hook up my iPod realised it was the amplifier.
Hope this helps and good luck.
