Something is wrong

The sub/amp of my JBL escXcite 5.1 surround sound system, is showing the 'on' light when the power's on, but isn't recognising any input. None of the other LED's (the volume, etc) are coming on, whether I press the buttons on the sub, or use the remote.

SOURCE: the fuse keeps burning out in my jbl sub 10, even

poor design, the amps that are screwed to the heat sink are below a transistor which is catching all the heat,heat rises and changes the bias of the transistor so high it causes runway in circuits that results into failure also the amplifiers are sealed with no air flow, this can't be good.Maybe if they put air vents or remove the cover to panel then the heat will have somewhere to go instead of just building up inside.If this problem is not fixed a replacement is going to fail too.good price bad design.

SOURCE: i just bought a jbl

Didn't it come with a manual?

Of course it needs external electronics to provide sound sources, controls, bass management AND amplification for the other speakers. It's just a sub.

SOURCE: JBL Sub 12 continues to make clicking noise

I had the same problem and fixed it by replacing the C37 capacitor (see service manual). It was a 47uF 16V eletrolitic capacitor. No external signals of problems, but it was defective according to the capacimeter. I replaced it because it was the part responsible to retain charge and keep the voltage up in the signal sensing circuit (a simple comparator). After the signal gets low or disapear, it would slowly discharge through a 10Mohm resistor (R121).
Replaced for a 47uF 25V eletrolitic capacitor.Everything went back to normal.

Hi, I bought a new JBL SCS 140 system with amp HK

Fuses blow when something is shorted. In this case it will be a semi-conductor of some kind. If the device uses IC for the main amplification then you are right to be worried!

The 158 amp is totally unsuitable for the JBL.
This is the specification of the JBL:
  • Recommended Amplifier Power 10 Watt
  • they are also 4 Ohm speakers.
  • 158 is: Output Impedance / Channel
    8 Ohm.

Hi I have just got a JBL SCS200.5 BK, 5.1 loud speaker system. I am having the following problem with connecting the loudspeaker system. 1. I have a satellite TV reciever with a single Left, Right &...

I guess you didn't get the owner's manual, huh?

http://www.jbl.com/HI-IN/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=SCS200.5BK/230

Where are the amplifiers in this scenario?

Page 8: The sub needs a subwoofer Line Level pre-out from an AV Receiver or multichannel processor. Though not elaborated on in the manual, the L and R Line Level RCA connections are probably for use if you lack a Sub Out feed. Running L and R from your receiver would allow the sub to derive a Sub Channel.

The rest of the speakers would connect to the AVR's speaker outputs.

Pasge 9: Alternate method if your eelctronics lacks a volume-controlled sub pre-out. This method routes only the front speaker level power to the sub so it can extract something resembling an LFE channel, then it routes speaker wire out to the front speakers, not as an audio power source but simply as a pathway.

You still need amplifier channels for all but the sub.

It's just a dust cover. If it is not affecting the sound quality, just leave it alone. You may make it worse by trying to fix it.

How to connect the wires of jbl sub 145

what kind of conections do you have on the back of the sub you should either have RCA connections or just one RCA connection or a place for speaker wire to plug directly into it.

Friend gave me a jbl surround system to go with my 52" sony hd tv. It has four speakers. three sat 20 and one bass 20. going to a rca stva 3970 receiver. didn't have instructions to go with it.

You need two more speakers to get surround sound,ie> two front one center and two for surround,then you need a home cinema amp to run the speakers and decode the sound from your tv,sky,dvd etc,and the sub gives you your bass.

Hope this helps.
