The Logitech Z-340 control pod or a compatible controller can be found in a few different places. Here are a few options:
Logitech website: You can check the Logitech website to see if they still carry the control pod or compatible controller for the Z-340.
Online retailers: You can check online retailers such as Amazon, eBay, and Best Buy to see if they have the control pod or compatible controller in stock.
Specialized Electronic retailers: Some specialized electronic retailers like B&H, Newegg, and Fry's may have the control pod or compatible controller.
Local electronics stores: You can check local electronics stores in your area to see if they have the control pod or compatible controller in stock.
Second-hand marketplaces: You can also try checking second-hand marketplaces like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp to see if someone is selling a used control pod or compatible controller.
It's important to note that, if you decide to go for a non-Logitech controller, you should make sure it's compatible with your Logitech Z-340. And it's best to check the compatibility before buying the controller.
When the variable resistor within the volume control unit fails, it is due to the internal wires shorting out. There are stops along the way as the dial rotates and at times you will make contact and create a connection. The only way to fix the problem is to get a replacement cord from the manufacturer or send it back for service.
mcdevito75 here, There should be a volume control on either the left or right speaker, maybe both, check the volume control on both speakers. also the connections to your computer.
I would say directly from player to tv to cut out as much resistance in the line as possible routing it through anything is just more wires to worry about and quality will be same or un noticeable
Logitech does not sell replacement LCD screens for Harmony remotes.
I would suggest buying a broken remote from eBay or somewhere cheap. However, keep in mind that attempting to repair your remote will void the warranty.
Unfortunately I have the same problem. As an electronic engineer I suspect that the power supply part of the unit is damaged. I opened up the module (don' t try it, its a little bit tricky since there is a type of glue around the silver bezel, after you remove the 4 screws from the front holes) and did some quick static measurements with a multimeter, so far no luck. Since I am still in warranty I will try to replace the item. Hint: protect your electronic equipment with ups or surge protection devices.
A KVM switch uses a DB15 serial connector. Just like a monitor uses a DB15 for it's VGA connection.
The pinout for the control center's DB15 connectori is not likely to be the same as either one of those two types of devices.
Unfortunately, there is no way to make one pod work with two sets of speakers. The reason for this is that the voltage supplied to the control center comes from the sub-woofer. You can imagine having two sources of power connected to one, single control center...
The control center would not know which sub-woofer and power system to regulate. You would end up with issues revolving around power distribution, volume levels being variable - or worse. More than likely, you would either overload the control center or it would simply not be able to keep up with the demand for both systems simultaneously.
I myself just had my set of Z-5500's RMA'd to Logitech under the exact same circumstances. I just received my new set today. Retail box and everything.
He was NOT kidding you. I had to make him repeat himself just like you did. LOL.
But I sent the control center, remote and purchase receipt with them.
5 days later, I found out DHL almost had my package here. (Although I was lucky. The turn-around time on the RMA is subject to supply and demand. I was quoted 6-8 weeks at one point due to their lot being completely empty. They are manufactured and shipped from China according to the rep I spoke with...)
My advice to you is to get right on the RMA process. Get your incident number from the Logitech rep who sets up your RMA. Get those two pieces sent in as soon as you can. Do what I did.
To do this, call the following number.
General Technical Assistance/RMA: 646-454-3200
Package the remote, control center into a box snuggly. WRITE YOUR INCIDENT NUMBER given to you by the Logitech rep on the receipt. Include the receipt in the box. Take it to the post office and send it by USPS Priority mail. Get "Delivery Confirmation" on it. All told it came to just under $10 for me.
Send it to the following address:
Logitech Incorporated 6505 Kaiser Drive Fremont, CA 94555 ATTN: Incident Number# <put your incident number here>
You will also be instructed to send a copy of your receipt by way of fax. WRITE YOUR INCIDENT NUMBER AND PERSONAL INFORMATION ON IT BEFORE FAXING. (Or at least on a cover letter.) They're supposed to send you an email to let you know that they received the fax...but I never received one. Good thing I included a second copy with the control center and remote...because that's the one they used for processing.
FAX: 702-269-3439
I have pics of the shipping order that came on the box, too. If you would like to see this proof, let me know. I'll be more than happy to post plenty of pics that show my old set (sans the control center of course...) and the new set.
But don't delay like I did. Mine was two days away from expiration of the warranty before I sent in the parts. LOL.
mine overheats need replacement pods where can i get one ?
