Problems with JBL PSW D110

I just hooked up my surround system which has been in storage for awhile. The JBL sub is about 11 years old and is a powered subwoofer. The onkyo was purchased about the same time. I have two options to hook up in the back receiver left and right out to sub then back to speakers or RCA from sub. I have it configured with the speakers wires going from the receiver to the sub and then to the left and right speakers. I put on a dvd and set the output in the menu to dolby 5.1 I also set the receiver to dolby pro logic everything but the sub seems to be working fine. I tried setting the receiver to bypass and the sub will work with the left and right speakers but I lose the center speaker and the r and l rear speakers. So the sub does work. It just doest not pick up on anything other than bypass on the receiver. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The speaker level input option is designed for receivers that don't have digital output for the sub, used this way when you set to digital the speaker outputs only get the higher range outputs so won't reproduce much bass. To get the sub to work in digital mode you need to use the digital output (single RCA) from the amp to the sub

SOURCE: what is the size of

The fuse is a 250volt 1.25 amp slow blo.
First thing I would do is check C6 to see if it is bulge or blown - regardless replace it with a 10ufd 100volt Non-polarity capacitor. If the fuse blows again unplug the blue wires from the transformer and plug in unit to an outlet. If fuse does not blow then problem is on PC board. I have a service manual for this item. Probable causes on PC board are Filter Caps, Bridge rectifier (DBA), Amplifier module, or fragments of C6 even causing shorts on board if it had blown.

I have bought C6 from MCM Electronics for under .50 cents but you have to put shrink tube on one lead and bend it back along the body and solder both leads in the board.

Good luck

Good afternoom, i need to know at about de part number of CIS53AMI. May you help me?

It is the Class D power amplifier module that JBL uses a lot in the powered sub-woofer, they are very unreliable and hard or impossible to get.
I had modified them to use linear power amp IC instead.

I have an old sub woofer I want to hook up to my computer what would I need to do ?

That would depend mostly on your computer's audio capabilities, connections and software. Assuming you already have the rest of a multichannel speaker suite defined and supported, why not a POWERED subwoofer?

You really need to be looking at this from the PC side.

Subwoofer will not product sound. (ignore product)

Please verify that we're talking about a JBL PSW-D110 here. I'm making no assumptions.

Are you running the Ipod into its L & R RCA jacks as prescribed?

Have you tried it with something besides the Ipod? A sub isn't supposed to reproduce a full range signal. Come to think of it, is the Ipod even outputting anything within the sub's operational range? I don't expect a lot of real bass comes out of one.

Perhaps you could try adjusting the Low Pass up to 180 to see if anything anywhere near the 'real' bass region is present.

Bottom line: There's not a lot of need for a sub (and no other speakers) running off of any music sound source. You wouldn't hear anything above 180hz.

JBL PSW-D110 Humming Loud

If I remember these correctly, there is a bad coupling cap in the amp section. You should see it as the top should have ballooned up. Replace the cap and you should be OK.
