Crackling / Static Sound on DVD Player Audio Tracks

[D.V. Dee]

When playing DVDs on my Sony DVP-NS425 DVD player, with Pro-Ject Hear It Two headphones,
the audio track frequently emits a crackling/static sound.

This doesn't happen to any audio tracks when Streaming videos from my router to my TV set.

My DVD player is patched through an Onkyo TX-8255 Stereo Receiver to an LG 32LN530B HD LED TV,
with a Radio Shack switcher to change options.

My speakers are Marantz HLM 208a (circa 1984).

I realize that both the DVD player and the speakers are pretty vintage, but they
still function just fine (I assume). I much prefer using headphones to the speakers.

Any way I can resolve this dilemma?

Thanks for any feedback!

Upgrade your dvd player to blu-ray.
