Hello there, my Philips MMS 460 surround sound has recently got a problem..
All the satellite speakers work, except the center speaker, and the subwoofer itself doesn't sound either..
I was wondering if whether this was because it was used for quite a while the other night, on high volume. *Normally* this isn't a problem.. but I've noticed that after 3 hrs or so of constant music, the sub (also containing the amp) gets quite hot, and all the speakers distort (or have strange rippling/flappy noises coming from them...).
I've taken the sub apart already, and had a quick look for any physical signs of burnt out components etc... And I think I *may* have found the cause. A couple of the capacitors are bulging, as if they're about to pop. One of these caps has a small amount of brown substance on the top (electrolyte perhaps?).
Can anyone think of any other causes to losing the center/sub channels? If its only the caps, I will replace them with some new caps off Maplin.
Thanks
