20 Most Recent Sony SA-VA100 System Questions & Answers

You can find those replacement cables on eBay for about $30 plus tax (free shipping) if you go there and search for "sa-va3". The connectors were made by JST, and don't seem to be available any more.A less expensive option, for those inclined to make their own cables, would be to switch to a different connector, such as one made by Molex. I found a seller on eBay who sold me two sets of 9-pin Molex panel mount connectors plus pins for $11.53 including tax and shipping. I will replace the JST socket on each speaker with a Molex socket, and then make a suitable cable with wire on hand. This should work fine, will save me $20, and keep me entertained for a while.

hi the speaker wire or the plug has become disconnected, this can happen sometimes when moving from one place and moved by vehicle, put the tv down flat on the ground screen side and remove the stand then remove all screws around case. life the back off and on the speaker check it from there to the board, push the connector back on, and with a bit of isolation tape put some over the connector. if it has a female connector to male bend the round parts down with a pair of plyers so its a tight fit to the male connector. refit case in revers order.

Need the System Control Cable to a Sony Sa-VA100

Isolate the cause first.

BOTH speakers? Probably a common electronic cause unless a single traumatic event killed them both.

What IS the electronics and are the speakers non-functional for ALL sources?

NEVER USE MAXIMUM VOLUME FOR TROUBLESHOOTING.

Turn the volume control to something medium.

The errant switch, control or condition may change and you will suddenly release the amp's full power and possibly destroying your speakers. If a signal isn't audible at 1/2 volume it's probably not there.

Carefully examine the front panel for clues like a misplaced Mute or Tape Monitor control or Multichannel Analog Input selected.

There is a good chance that a common control may have developed a high-resistance or 'dead' spot through idleness and is causing your symptom. Turn the POWER OFF and operate every control throughout its range a number of times, especially rarely-used ones like Tape Monitors and the Mute control.

Turn the volume to something reasonable and see if that helped.
