My JBL plays but it cuts the play back frequently like it plays and stops, plays and stops, plays and stops so on .Whats the problem. Please help

  • Anonymous Apr 16, 2012

    Does it stay on yet it stops making sound? Does it it completely shut off, as if the power was being unplugged?

    If it stays on:
    *Check the signal source. Is there a bad cable from the source to the amp?
    *Does the source/mixer have a bad jack?

    If it shuts off:
    *Make sure the AC cable is secure and not rattling loose when it makes sound
    *Make sure it's not being over driven/clipped (limit light stays on constantly - it should stay off most of the time)
    *Is the unit overheating? Don't block the amp panel as it is the main heat sink. Consider putting a small fan to cool the heat sink

Until this is fixed, I would not use it or you may blow up a speaker... Make sure you check that you are using BALANCED audio interconnect cables, either XLR or TRS balanced cables AND that ALL interconnected equipment is poowered by the SAME receptacle... yes you have to run extension cords, but the pro's do it to avoid ground bounce damage to their equipment. Use ONLY three wire power cords.

How to play my acoustic guitar on my my jbl avr134 home sound system it does have a amplifier I want the steps for it plzz

An acoustic guitar, unless it is an electric type, will need to be played near a microphone in order to provide a signal for the sound system and the microphone or the guitar will have to be connected to a compatible amplifier input.

Impedance matching is not so important unless high quality is required but matching the sensitivity or gain of the input to the output of the source is important for optimum performance.
A moving coil microphone has an output of just a few millivolts and a crystal microphone can produce an output of around one volt.

My bass cuts when playing but goes back on after a few seconds.

that because you have a loose ground to your amp or not the right size wire but check your ground on the amp it will overheat and turn off to protect itself .

For some reason the soft on protection circuit has failed. it is not a simple fix and would require the amplifier module to be removed from the speaker to assess the damage.

Yamaha YPT-410 When playing the keyboard, the sound cuts out when playing multiple keys, and then begins again only to cut out again. Does not matter which keys. I have done a factory reset and it did not...

It's probably your keyboard. Some keyboards are limited with it's polyponic capabilities. Some can play many notes at one time, some cut out when it reaches it's limits. Check your manual for specifications.

Played at a gig last night when one of my jblprx518 subs cut out also there was a smell as if something had burnt out! Is there a simple quick fix or is it a warranty issue?

Either the speaker or the amp in it or both fried. Check to see IF your warranty will cover the repair.
Make sure that in your venues ALL interconnected equipment is powered from teh same receptacle OR power conditioner module, incling mixers, amps, speakers. Ground bounceof wiring in building power that causes damage most likely will not be covered under warranty.

When I connect my midi cables to my PC and use Fruity Loops or Mixcraft and I play notes on the Roland Juno D keyboard, some of the notes stick and dont stop playing once released and others are played...

The name for the notes that don't stop playing is "Dreaded MIDI Drone". It is caused by multiple note on commands and lost "mating" note off commands.

Also read "c." on page 80 regarding buffer length and "choppy" sounds.
