I haven't heard the whining, but I've definitely heard the static. Now, I just discounted it as being my poor, old iPod that's had a long, hard life that's logged as many airline miles as I have. It's been toasted by magnets, xrays, and electrical fields and still works...kind of... I have to completely reload the software on it every few months because it starts hanging in the menus and gives up after playing the first few seconds of a song.
Not sure if what I hear is my iPod's problem, an iPod cable problem, or the VSX's problem. Until now, I assumed it was the iPod, but I might have to take a closer look.
