Samsung HTZ-510 Theater System - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Are you sure it's not the fan on the back of the unit. the bearings on these fans tend to get dirty and noisy.

Page 32 of the manual:

Cooling Fan

The cooling fan supplies cool air to the unit to prevent overheating.

Please observe the following cautions for your safety.

Make sure the unit is well-ventilated. If the unit has poor ventilation, the temperature inside the unit may rise

and may damage it.

Do not obstruct the cooling fan or ventilation holes. (If the cooling fan or ventilation holes are covered with a
newspaper or cloth, heat may build up inside the unit and fire may result.)


So look at the fan and make sure it's turning. Pick out the dust balls. Give the system room to breath (Page 13: 4" clearance from the fan)

The manual is no help but I would think it's trying to tell you there's a short sensed on one of the rear speaker cables. Disconnect them both and see how that works out, then diagnose.

If the message doesn't reset the base unit is sick. take it to someone to look at it.

It takes a bit of force, but be careful. the back terminals are connected to the speakers by rather short lengths of wire. The other probable causes are that:
The amplifier's center channel has failed

The wire is shorted or frayed, or defected in some other way.

The speakers are broken. If this is the case, any speaker of 170 watts or lower will work, but it MUST be of 3 ohms impedance.

Have you turned the TV speakers off within your Audio setup and turned on you external speakers? Your 510 then becomes your speakers. Also eliminates potential for audio synch issues. This done mean you have to turn both the TV and Audio system on everytime you want to "TV" programs. Good luck.

No, I was looking for free technical advice.

Hi,
You need to connect your TV to the AUX connection in the back of your HT system. Then set your HT system on AUX 1 and wait about 5 seconds for the TV sound to come through. If it does not work on AUX 1, you may have to try on AUX 2 or AUX 3 settings on your HT system. Make sure the A/V cable you use is good and in working order and is a good quality cable.
Hope that helps, Gary

If this happens only when connecting the receiver, chech the receiver cable. If the cable is fine, receiver connector at the back of receiver is faulty.

Protect mode will kick in whenever a fault is detected.

You get the unit not powering up, and sometimes you hear a clicking noise, that is the protection switch that keeps shutting down the unit.

Causes that can start protect mode are:

Electrostatic harges on internal circuits.
Leave the unit unplugged for power for one hour or so, this will allow discharge.

Bad speaker wiring.
Check speaker wiring, try unplugging and plugging back, or start after removing one speaker at the time.

Internal fault.
Internal fault is the natural cause for protect mode. If all the above did not work, then the problem is a blown component or an internal fault. In this case the unit must be taken apart , tested and repaired by an experienced person.
If the unit is less than one year old, or if you want to get service, call Sony at the phone number listed on the product documentation.

Regards.

That looks like a broken laser,but try to change flat cable and see how much is resistance on the spin motor(it must be between 8 and 12 ohms)

on any home theater that is just for consumer use, unless you live in a VERY large house, only one sub should be necessary. using two could cause the amp to overheat and fry

cable box needs to be dolby digital to allow surround sound to work

The best way to do this is to run all hdmi cables from the source to the receiver (i.e. from the cable box to the receiver). Then run a single hdmi cable from the "out to tv" or "video/audio" out jack on the receiver to the television. Turn the tv on and select the input you put the hdmi cable in, then on the receiver select whatever you want to watch, i.e. cable.

On the rear of your TV connect, with a phono/RCA cable to the Audio R + L sockets, connect the other ends to your Yamaha using the TV in sockets. See photos attached Hope that helps. HDMI is for video unless the extra pins are added for audio.

Normally makers don't play ball between each other. Yes if it was a Samsung Television and a Samsung Receiver A/V System. Or if you have something like a Cable Box or Satellite System that is made to interact with other makes. Or if it is a Universal Remote. I think you were just lucky that it happened to use the same frequency. Look in the manual for a scan command. https://www.google.com/search?q=Connect+Samsung+OLED+S90+remote+to+Yamaha+RX-V361+via+optical ..

Check battery. It may require replacement.
