20 Most Recent Zenith XBS444 System Questions & Answers

hi,
ur dvd is in progressive scan mode. u have to get out of that setting ,because ur TV dosen't supports the progressive scan. do the following to get out of the progressive scan mode.

1. power ON the dvd.
2. press stop button to stop any disc that is playing.
3. press stop again and hold it for five seconds.

the video out will be restored to the standard settings.

battery needs replacing

The dvd may be in the wrong format for your Son's t.v. PS3's play several formats that the lifestyle 38 may not be compatible with. You can download a video converter such as Any Video Converter and format the disc for whatever format you need. Probably mpeg2. Then it should play on most players.

If it's still under MFG. Warranty, get it replaced. If not, weigh the cost of repair vs. replacement. What has more than likely happened is the unit has seen either a "Brownout" severe voltage drop then spike to commence power, or a power surge. It's a very common problem with today's electronics of all kinds. It will either have a bad power supply or bad transistors and will range from $ 125.00 - $ 175.00 to repair on avg. When you have it replaced or repaired, make sure you purchase a good line conditioning surge protection unit like Monster, Panamax, or Furman. Not a power strip, that's just a glorified light switch. Sorry for the bad news! Hope this helps

I just posted the fix for this problem under the post of davidlentz who is having the same problem. Problem is IC706 located on the audio output board Part number is KIA7805A.

Since not all devices have the same in/outputs available, if you are trying to interconnect them, it helps to know the make and model of both, not just one.

There are several possibilities to connect external devices to your 'home theatre' system.
The one we have delivers the best when S-video is used but that requires a separate path for sound.
The standard colors for audio in and outputs are red(=right) and white(= left) and often cables are supplied with the same color coding.

The usual connections will be named 'Line in' and 'Line out.' The outputs deliver specified voltage into a specified load (or termination) and the inputs expect that condition.
This ensures that volume controls act in a sensible manner.

It could be overheating, have you checked how warm it is? Is it in the open. Zenith systems seem to have a lot of problems associated with them

signs of a defective Filter Capacitor. I suggest you replace all capacitors in the Power supply and try.

It is an old 2007 Set. Upgrade the television, the soundbar has left it behind in software terms. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/646773/Zenith-Z42p3.html#product-Z50P3%20and ..

It's possible that there could be a problem with both record players. Here are some things to check: For the Swingmate Concert Hall Automatic Record player:

• Check to make sure the power cord is securely plugged in and that the outlet it's plugged into is working.
• Check to see if there's a power switch on the back of the record player that needs to be turned on before the main power switch can be activated.
• Check to see if the main power switch is stuck or blocked in some way. If so, try gently pushing or pulling it to see if it will move.

For the Zenith 4 speaker stereophonic record player:

• Check to make sure the power cord is securely plugged in and that the outlet it's plugged into is working.
• Check to see if there's a power switch on the back of the record player that needs to be turned on before the main power switch can be activated.
• Check to see if the knob is stuck or blocked in some way. If so, try gently pushing or pulling it to see if it will move.
• Check to see if there's a safety mechanism preventing the turntable from starting up. Some record players won't turn on if the tonearm is not in the correct position or if the record player cover is not closed.

If these suggestions don't work, it may be best to take the record players to a professional technician for further inspection and repair.

Some have a backup battery in the back or the base. Flashing normally is an indication that here has been a power cut.

Sounds like a bad potentiometer Here you go. Click here: https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/zenith/mc7050.shtml

Seems impossible to find. There was directions posted on FixYa which gave directions to a different Zenith models. While not the same, you may find the directions to this model similar to your Z358.

Press "display" and make sure the radio is displaying frequency, not time. Tune the radio frequency you want to add to memory. Press "Memo Set" and observe that "preset" flashes on the display. Press the number of the memory channel that you want to save to. Press "Memo Set" and observe that "preset" on the display has stopped flashing. The frequency is now saved the selected channel.
