"Does KLH have service centers?
No. We have opted to internalize all repair services at our facility in Van Nuys California in order to maintain tighter control on our product."

Yes.

It's frustrating that KLH manuals seem impossible to find anywhere online BUT a simple picture will suffice...

Go here and supersize the picture of the rear of the sub...

Run your front channel speaker wires to the CLEARLY-MARKED connectors on the sub and daisy-chain your front speakers to the CLEARLY-MARKED connectors on the sub.

Adjust the sub volume to match the front speakers levels. This will give you local volume control at the Sony.

hi,
You have to check the laser pickup unit of you dvd player. In your dvd palyer the laser pickup unit is faulty. There are two lasers in DVD players laser unit. One for reading the DVD and the other for reading the CD. In your player the DVD laser is faulty. As it is one module you have to replace the laser pickup unit as a whole.

Most power cables are universal with only a handfull of different types. You could check if power cable for your sub woofer is the same with same amount of pins(2 or 3) and if its the same you could use your system without the woofer for now.. Just about any Electrical Dealer shop(ie.. sells tv's,computers etc) should have a replacement cable for you- just take in the end that connects to your stereo.

You might have blown the speaker. This happens when you play things too loudly and you ruin the speaker inside. You can test this by playing something with a decent amount of bass and turned up a bit. If you hear like a "rattle" in the sound or like something isn't right in the heavy bass notes, then you definitely blew the speaker out. This isn't a tragedy. They're fixable if you bring them to a place that repairs speakers. But I would definitely test it first by hooking it up and playing a loud song with a lot of bass. Hope that helps a little! Please rate my solution!

I think it wants you to raise the volume high enough on the sub so IT can hear at least 75dB. It can always adjust the sub downward if necessary. Max it out at the sub and let Audyssey deal with the adjustment.

Your crossover frequency selection would be a piont below which you want the sub to activate. It depends on the bass capabilities of your other speakers. You want some overlap so there's no droop in the crossover region where your main speakers roll off.

how to hook this up to a receiver

This can be due to either the integrated power supply system or the amplifier itself. As a tecnician I can imagine the possible faulty components and I guess that the cost isn't too big. But since I don't know your area I suggest to ask from a technician at your area to check the subwoofer.

In case of a problem or clarification or further details needed, don't hesitate to post me a reply before rejecting my answer.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Thanks and regards

if you can look at the underside of the board with the resistor on it, take a magnifying glass and look around the pins poking through from the components. It may be that the heat as unsoldered a component (be it resistor, capacitor or otherwise). Look for gaps in the solder around each pin, and if there are any holes around the pins, try filling them in with a little solder.

I am basing hookup on my Bassbite !! manual. The procedure should be the same as on your Bassbite V

I have given you a link to your Sony Owner manual. It looks like you will connect your sub to the sub output on the rear of your reciever using the rca cable. Woofer out on the Sony to the R/Mono input on your Bassbite. If you have the front and rear speakers hook your rears into the rear speaker outputs then connect your front speakers to the front speaker outputs of your Sony. Your speaker jacks on the Bassbite will not be used for this configuration.

Now, adjust your speaker size setting for "SMALL" or "LARGE" speakers as appropriate for your setup (this is for the front and rear speakers and will not effect your Bassbite). Now set your Sony subwoofer output to "ON" You access this setting through your menu. That should be located on your remote for the Sony. You will want to refer to the manual to find the exact method to access your system menu.

If the link to your manual doesn't work for you then go to http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-documents.pl?mdl=STRDE335 and click on Operating instructions.

Hope this helps. Let me know okay? By the way, if this works for you you should be very pleased with the sound quality :-)

Some specific model numbers might lead us to specific manuals and specific instructions.

Depends on your source and its amplifer complement. Some can drive a subwoofer directly while others just produce a Line Level subwoofer output for use by a separate amp feeding a subwoofer or self-amplified sub. The set-up of the source to produce a subwoofer output is totally dependent on its design. Generally, you have to 1) tell it you have a sub, 2) define how bass will be routed or shared among your various speakers accordingto their bass-handling capacities, 3) using test tones, set the relative ludness and crossover settings so you have a uniform sound field.

To find a manual, maybe run it by the manufacturer

Fuses only blow like that when a semiconductor device is acting like a piece of wire causing an overload. An ohmmeter on the ohms setting will show any transistor with this condition as a short, just like you had touched the test leads together! Follow where the fuse leads to. And look out for signs of damage too. The most obvious parts to go are the ones that do the work, in the power supply or the main amp device, often an IC.

S-video would be a better choice than (yellow) composite video but it won't help the sound.

Not knowing anything about the DVD player and how you have it wired we can only guess what is wrong with IT or the connection to the KLH.

Have you looked at the manuals for the DVD and the KLH? You don't just hook it up and run with it. Digital Audio must be assigned, for example, and other stuff.

hi,
If possible check the crossover circuit board. There will be two or more ICs ( integrated circuits). fast of all just replace all the ics in that board. That ics will be very cheep in price. after replacing those ics make a test. if then also the cracking sound hears then you have to check the components amplifier board.

Fundamentally the same sub - use these instructions as a guide.

The video processing circuits are not functioning fully and are blanking out part of the video. This is a highly intergrated area in the player and is not costwise to repair since you can get another player (used) for $20 to $25 with doing a google search. A new one is not available.

This woofer was taken from a KLH Pro-71 Series. These were the top of the KLH line from ~94-99 when it was still a real company and not just a name. The woofer is rated for 5-350 watts at 8 ohms. Source: KLH Pro Series-71 Spec Sheet.

The sub works but the speakers don't? Do you hook up the speakers to the subwoofer output "loop"? This is a circuit issue when it works and stops working. I have the same issue so I wound up joining the wires that go to the sub and the wires that go to the speaker together and place those connections into the sub. The sub works, the satellite speaker works and the impedance load is no issue for my system. Confused? Simply run your neg/pos wire to the sub and where it connects to the sub, run another cable to the speaker (pos to pos., neg to neg).

The only way to repair it would be to deal with component level repair. Although I have the experience, it is too petty and it works fine the way it is.

There should be a subwoofer output on your receiver that it connects to. It'll be labeled "Subwoofer" and its typically a purple connection.

If you use a consumer CD-Audio Recorder you will have to use blank CDR's that have "audio" or "music" printed on them for RECORDING. The manual that accompanies the hardware would explain that.
