REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

TURNING THE SOUNDBAR ON AND OFF
Set the sound bar’s Power switch to the “On” position.
Press the Power button on either the sound bar or the remote to turn the sound bar on. To put the sound bar in the Standby mode, press either Power button while the sound bar is on.
If you do not press the Power button, the sound bar will automatically go into the Standby mode approximately 15 minutes after the audio signal ceases. NOTE: If you have put the sound bar into the Standby mode by pressing the Power button, you must manually turn it on by pressing the Power button again. If the sound bar has automatically gone into the Standby mode 15 minutes after the audio signal has ceased, it will automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal at either the analogue (Aux) input or the optical digital input.
TURNING THE SUBWOOFER ON AND OFF
Set the subwoofer’s Power switch to the “On” position. The subwoofer will automatically attempt to establish pairing with the sound bar (the subwoofer’s LED will flash blue). If pairing is not established within one minute, the subwoofer will enter the Standby mode (its LED will turn amber). If pairing is established, the subwoofer will turn on (its LED will light blue continuously).  The subwoofer will remain on for approximately one minute after the sound bar enters the Standby mode, or for approximately 15 minutes
after the audio signal ceases.
If you will be away from home for an extended period of time, or if you will not be using the system for an extended period, set the subwoofer’s Power switch to the “Off” position.
PAIRING THE UNITS FOR WIRELESS OPERATION
After turning the sound bar and subwoofer on for the first time, you will need to “pair” the subwoofer and sound bar so they both operate at the same wireless frequency. To pair the units, press the Wireless Pairing switches on both units within 30 seconds. The units will communicate with each other and operate at the same frequency.
NOTE: The maximum wireless operating distance between the sound bar and subwoofer is approximately 50 feet (15.3m).

ADJUSTING THE SYSTEM’S VOLUME
Press the sound bar’s or remote’s Volume Up and Down buttons to raise and lower the system’s volume one step at a time. Hold down the buttons to continuously raise or lower the volume.
MUTING THE SYSTEM
Momentarily press the sound bar’s Power button or press the remote’s Mute button to mute the system. (The Power Indicator flashes blue.)  Momentarily press the sound bar’s Power button or press the remote’s Mute button again to un-mute the system. (The Power Indicator turns to a steady blue.)
SURROUND MODE BUTTONS
These buttons switch the sound between normal stereo (the Surround Mode Indicator lights white) and 3-D Surround (the Surround Mode Indicator lights blue). The 3-D Surround setting will produce a complete surround-sound experience for anyone sitting in front of and several feet away from the sound bar. Although it is particularly effective when watching movies, you can also try the 3-D Surround setting for music
SUBWOOFER LEVEL KNOB
Use the subwoofer’s Level knob to balance the bass with the rest of the sound. Play music or movies that you are familiar with, and adjust the subwoofer’s Level knob so the bass sounds balanced on both music and films. Listen to several different music recordings and film soundtracks that contain strong bass passages, and find a setting for the Level knob that doesn’t over-emphasize the bass or make it sound weak
Once you find a setting for the subwoofer’s Level knob that balances the bass with the rest of the sound, you shouldn’t have to change it
SUBWOOFER CUTOFF CONTROL
The subwoofer’s Cut-off control adjusts the subwoofer’s cut-off between 40Hz and 200Hz. The higher you set the Cut-off control, the higher in frequency the subwoofer will operate and the more its bass will “overlap” that of the sound bar. This adjustment helps achieve a smooth transition of bass frequencies between the subwoofer and the sound bar for a variety of different rooms and subwoofer locations.  To set the Cut-off control, listen for the smoothness of the bass. If the bass seems too strong at certain frequencies, try a lower Cut-off control setting. If the bass seems too weak at certain frequencies, try a higher Cut-off control setting.
SUBWOOFER PHASE SWITCH
This switch determines whether the subwoofer’s piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the speakers in the sound bar. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the sound bar speakers, some of the sound waves produced by the sound bar and subwoofer could be cancelled out at some frequencies, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the relative placement of the sound bar and subwoofer in the room.  Although there is no absolutely correct setting for the Phase switch, in most cases it should be left in the “0°” position. When the subwoofer is properly in phase with the sound bar speakers, the sound will be clearer and have more impact. It will make percussive sounds like drums, piano and plucked strings sound more lifelike. The best way to set the Phase switch is to listen to music that you are familiar with and adjust the switch so that drums and other percussive sounds have maximum impact.
