Hey guys,
Im new to the forum, but really glad i found a site like this, ha. I have a sony HT-DDW840 5.1 surround sound system, and Ive had it for around 3 and a half years now. It worked great for the first three years... just recently, however, the sub has started cutting out seemingly when it is overloaded with bass.
This problem never occured in my first 3 years of ownership. I changed nothing about how I use the system, but this problem has randomly arised recently. When playing music (especially loud music) the sub woofer will play the bass for a short while, then after making a clicking sound it will stop playing all bass. If i leave the music playing, the woofer will power back on for short periods of time (ie a couple seconds), after which it will cut out with the same clicking sound again (for much longer periods of time--probably around 30-45 seconds).
The woofer doesn't power off... I know this because I have watched it, and the green light stays lit the whole time. Another thing that could be important is that if I dont use the woofer for long periods of time (say a week with the woofer shut off) it will be able to play bass for a much longer time before shutting off (say, 10-15 minutes) than if it has been in use at all recently.
Basically, this is a very annoying problem that I have spent lots of time trying to resolve through searching google. I haven't been able to find any solutions, however, and hope that somebody here can help. I'd deeply appreciate any help anybody can give me, as listening to music with no bass (or with bass constantly coming in and out) is extremely annoying. Thanks to all who reply
