maybe you recorded too low so when you play it back you have to turn the volume up so your hearing the noise more?

maybe :?

The signal is not clean, run it through an amplifier, like a home theater. I get the same noises, but not TONS of it. I try to take as much of it out with EQ but some remains. I never shoulda sold my amp...

I tried it out earlier today, with both Digital and line in. I didn't get the "white noise" but I did get low output from the DVD. By the way that was connecting direct from DVD to MPC. If you connect thru a mixer or your stereo receiver you will be able to boost the signal to a usable level.

if you have one, use it. i find that i get cleaner samples from that, rather than using a standard dvd player.
