I hooked up my new HP laptop to the TD-9 (mainly because of the USB WAV, 99 files limit) to finally enjoy playing along with ALL my songs: all I got was a lot of crackling, hissing and other noise. I removed the power cable of the laptop, so it was running on battery power, and it was gone.
After experimenting a little, I discovered it was a grounding issue. The laptop and TD-9 were connected to the same outlet. But the power cable of the TD-9 only has two poles (at least here in the Netherlands), so it isn't grounded. Why is that?
I had to connect a grounded plug to a non grounded mutiple power outlet (so only two wires were connected) to (almost) solve the problem (there's still a little hissing noise).
Anyone also experienced this? Anyone has a better solution?
