Hey people, I know it's my first post and all, but I just don't know what to do anymore. I have a question, that is driving me nuts!
Some time ago I bought a 5.1 sound system, from Genious, specifically a HW-SF5.1.
For starters it is made out of wood, I didn't realize until after I bought it and they wouldn't change it in the store for that reason. Then came the problem that when I installed it in my room, it picked up radio signals. So I drove it back to the store again and had them test it right there... it didn't pick up radio signal inside the store, they said it was perfectly fine and wouldn't change it then! they said it was my electrical connection. Meh, I was real angry that day.
So I decided I would test it on the living room, on my xbox/dvd. All was good, it didn't pick up radio signal, apparently it's my room that's filled with radio waves or something (but they should've changed it anyway! I don't think a set of plain speakers is supposed to do that!).
And then came a new problem... 4 of the speakers shut off for no reason if the volume is low/medium, leaving only the center speaker playing sound, all 4 others just stop working. In order to have all 5 speakers going at the same time I had to turn the volume REAL loud and turn it off and then on (I know sometimes the speakers don't have to sound all at the same time, but it wasn't a matter of surround sound, iI think the woofer plant is not sending enough power to all speakers or something). By this time the warranty had passed (Thank you very much Murphy) and I couldn't go change it.
That was about 9 months ago. Just two days ago I decided to bite the bullet and go buy shielded wires for the speakers so I could install it in my room, where it should've been. Those were DAMN expensive for a wire, but hey, I wanted to install the thing in MY room after all!
But then I still have the speakers-not-sounding problem.
Is there any way I can install some sort of capacitor, bigger plant, bigger power source, something on the woofer, so it sends more power to ALL the speakers, and not just have the central speaker sounding all the time? I would really like to avoid sending it to an electronic repair shop, because honestly I don't trust people in this city to know what's going on or how to repair it, I'd rather try myself first. (I live in Venezuela, so sending it all the way to the US to Genious HQ for an exchange isn't an option, that'd cost me like 200$).
Please help me! Really, it drives me crazy! I just don't know what to do anymore! It does sound nice, but I have to go really loud with the volume in order to keep all speakers working >_<
Thanks in advance!
