I've samsung home theater model HT Z215 it's turning off after one minetue , a messege appear in the panel " fan CHK" would you please help me to fix it. kind regards;

..I would assume that you have carefully cleaned the lense and inspected the flexible ribbon cable..try replacing the spindle motor..in our case they are not expensive..good luck Elben

It means the fan(s) aren't doing their job. Clean out the dust bunnies and see if that helps.

Maybe you broke the remote leaving the batteries inside . Try to use another remote and see if the system is conected corectly !

HT-C5500XAA / HT-C7530W This system comes with wireless speakers... Maybe return this system and get the one with wireless included.... Retails for $999.95

Ok so I looked up your fan, it has a 2-pin connector and is a 50mmx50mmx15mm. I was unable to find you a 2-pin fan but I did find a 3-pin to 2-pin adapter here http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Pin-to-2-Pin-Small-Adapter-Fan-Power-Cable-FREE-S-H_W0QQitemZ390137164937QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5ad5fcb489

and this fan here http://www.newidget.com/product.php?id=31600212

Got that exact same problem and do not know what to do. Help !!

Did u ever find a solution? The room I use the home theater in gets quite hot. I use an air conditioner but I think prolonged use in the heat has ruined the fan(s). The speakers will power up, and sound can be heard but after a minute or two the CHK FAN will come across the display, and ultimately, shut the system off. Is this what happens to you? T?hanks for any and all responses!,

With the home theater system off, press the 0-1-3-5 buttons in that order on the home theater's remote control.

Power on the home theater system.

With the wireless module on, press the [ID SET] button on the back of the wireless module for five seconds.

If your home theater continues to display rear check after you have tried the steps above, call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864). Have your model number and serial number on hand to set up service.

Hope this helps!

it means the home theater is over heating and the unit will shut down to prevent any damage. This can happen if the unit is stacked along with other electronic devices or the unit is in an enclosed area that prevents the unit from cooling properly. To decrease the chance of overheating, relocate your home theater to a more open area.

If the home theater display reads PROTECTION every time you turn it on, no matter where or how the unit is placed, it needs service. To set up service call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-SAMSUNG (1-800-726-7864). Have your model number and serial number on hand to set up service.

Looks like it is to do with the rear wireless speaker. Now, my problem is over. Its gone. I first turned the reciever on and then turned on the rear speaker wirel less on. No rear chk in problem now. Hope this helps. R.
