Some suggestions - in no particular order... If the TS-209 and installed software worked with your setup, it's unlikely the problem is with that. This leaves either your dad's Classic or network at fault.
You could check your dads SB Classic by taking it over to your house (assuming you live close enough) and trying it out with your TS-239/network system. If the problem still shows, it's probably a hardware or firmware issue with the Classic. If his Classic is OK, the problem may be with your dads network setup - this isn't uncommon, particularly if wireless connections are used. You could check it out by taking your SB over to his house and trying it out there. You know your SB worked with his TS-209 so it will work at his home as well if the network is OK. If both the SB and network check out OK, it may mean there's a problem in another part of the audio chain. Probably worth checking that out first by connecting something like a CD player to the Hi-Fi audio inputs and listening to a few CD's - use the same inputs as the SB uses. Volume controls, balance controls, input/output switches etc. can cause noise problems (crackling) as they age. It's also worth disconnecting then reconnecting all input/output leads as well - they oxidize over time and can cause noise. Connecting/ disconnecting cleans the contacts. It's all a process of elimination unfortunately - can be a bit tiresome but is probably the only way to do it. Hopefully this will start you off on the fault finding track.
