Need subwoofer help please

 

mike wells
I recently purchased a slightly used (floor model) Philips (MX1015) Home Theater system. The first night everything worked great but the second night (for the sake of space), I decided to rearrange the components on different shelves. After working for about 10-15 minutes, the subwoofer just emits a steady loud signal. When I adjust the position of the receiver (or entire component cabinent) slightly, the subwoofer functions properly again. This happens repeatedly throughout the night and in any mode (DVD, TV, etc.). Could this just be a cable problem? I am using an old (cheapo) subwoofer cable. I would certainly appreciate any advice as everything else is working great. Thanks so much.

Sounds weird, but the first thing I would check is that there are no breaks or bare wires touching in your wiring.

Sounds like a gounding problem, which is cured by adjusting the wires. Check your connections and consider changing the subwoofer cable.

Good luck

It turned out to be a cable problem...I slapped a monster cable on and everything is cool. Thanks for the input.
