I have two sets of Z5500's. One from 09 and other from 2010. Exactly, have no need for that type of radical maintenance since I regularly clean them. Just had to replace backlight bulb after nearly 11 years. Great sound and nothing compares!
@@thomasfisher1732 ..I have these and plenty of speakers are much better. Much much much better. Send over 1k and you'll get significantly better sound.
Love your work, I think that we should do more of this to save the planet....beside ...you cannot buy speakers as good at the shop now this day.Thanks for saving planet as little steps go far...
i had this awesome speaker set-up paid 200$ refurbished back in 2007 crazy bass , best little set-up i ever bought, used to shake pictures off the wall
I just bought a set of z5500 speakers. really good condition from what I can see for only 75 bucks. can't wait to hear them, I have heard lots of good stuff about the z5500.
Been using Z5500's since early 2005 and so far Ive only had to replace the main fuse a few years ago (easy fix) but lately the volume level is erratic when using the knob, the knob itself still turns smoothly with the usual "clicks" being felt but sometimes the volume level will jump way up with just a small turn, hoping it just needs to be cleaned internally.
Yeah right, that potentiometer needs cleaning. And this set was totally neglected by the owner, after restoring its working great again. Owner is happy now. Thanks for watching bro
Hey there, I know this video is from 4 years ago but I just wanna let you know the satellite speakers doesn't all sound the same.... so uh when you putting it back on their casings be sure to put some kind of labeling.... thats all for now
What a great work repair 👌👌 congratulations! Fortunately I found your video, and I will repair my setup. Two questions: where do you bought the rubber membrane to replace the old popped? And what are the inches of new membrane? I found some sellers in aliexpress, but I don’t know the right measure… And what kind of glue did you used to paste the membrane ? Thanks in advance for the advices, and keep the good work 🙌🙌🙌
Totally agree... Mine are from like 2005 or 2006 and are in way better condition than this, only my rear speakers the rubber is a bit cut but nothing like that, the front ones the rubber doesnt have a single cut either and its not anywhere close to that dirt... And I have even played on parties all night at max volume and they are still working awesome... Anyway I already bought the 3 inch rubber replacement for the rear speaker, but I glued the original one and still havent really put the new rubber in which doesnt also have the quality of the original, when the original rubber gets completely screwed then I will change the rubber for the new one, but still don't know what glue should I use. I used contact flexible glue to repair the cuts and seem to be working kinda good even though not perfect...
I still have mine lol She's been with me literally everywhere. College, houses, girlfriends, different states... and she still kicks I still haven't had a problem with her :D
Interesante pero la restauración fue a medias , al modificar el parlante por otro modelo de parlante que a leguas no es igual , mira los imanes 🧲 del anterior . si hubieras arreglado la membrana del parlante sería excelente
Crazy I have these inn excellent shape too but they have a slight hiss or buzz on I forget what setting. Kinda of annoying. I just bought the katana bu sound blaster because I wanted something small and compact, but I don’t know if I’m gonna miss them for tryin gate katana. If I was to find out why the buzz is and fix it I would maybe return the sound bar, but it just looks so modern and doesn’t sound too bad either. Decisions...
Remove all the inputs & check the buzz noise. Change the inputs from the remote & check it. Its a minor problem, that may happen for few reasons. Mainly the inputs, faulty wires, then grounding the amp is one of the reason too. And bad capacitors can be the cause too. Only a technician can tell you the exact reason.
Only someone that can read a spec sheet and learn the simplicity of using a multimeter. My first repair was a 50 watt Vacuum tube amplifier.... way more dangerous to get zapped from. But remember products like these are assembled by folks that know nothing about electronics, therefore it really doesn't take much effort to find a damaged component and replace it with the same specification of a new component. Just be sure any big capacitors are discharged before touching any circuits!
@ techno boy , Great work! You can do this with damaged speakers. I already did it once with my sub, its quite easy, except center it, but you'll manage.
It's not THX certified anymore, replacing the original satellite speakers with generics no ? Are you not able to replace the speaker surrounds on these ?? Part of the appeal of the Logitech speakers is also the looks. The generics look ugly. Great restoration work though. Thumbs up for effort !
Totally agree, 10W shitty speakers lol... If you search well you will find what looks the actual brand that made logitech speakers, theres ones out there that are exactly 100% the same, however I think logitech overrated the speakers, because the brand which everyone says who made the speakers for logitech the exact one that looks the same I think its rated to like 25W rms and not 60+ like logitech says (however doesnt mean they are 100% the same). The ones logitech use get pretty god damn loud and I have no doubts it puts out quite a lot of power since I used some KEF 2 way big speakers I have in the living room and they can't even handle the logitech at a lot of volume, a red light comes up and the speakers shutdown (they are 8ohms), but then again the speakers aren't good either, last time I had them in the hifi amplifier they would also shutdown and turn the red light on. But 60+ W rms I call bullshit, I don't think there's even any cheap 3 inch driver with 60+ W rms out there, at least I still havent found one with that much power... I can't remember if they are something like this: www.parts-express.com/tang-band-w3-593sf-3-full-range-silver-cone-driver--264-809
Out of curiosity i connected a 4 ohms 20Wspeaker to one of the satelites outputs and it burned it after 5 minutes playing at full volume and you put a 10W speaker if your customer knows the boost +22 secret mode its over for those satelites
Wattage in this kind a small speakers doesnt matter much. Cause mostly they are same in wattage just marked with different number on it. Only logitech stock speakers can handle upto 100watt or more. Here impedance matter a lot. I used 8ohms of speakers & the customer asked for cheaper solution,so. You must use 8oms speakers or it may damage the amplifier too at high volume.
Halfing the Ohms will pull double the amperage, this is what will damage an amplifier only designed for 8Ohm speakers. You can use 2- 4 Ohm speakers in series to make them up to 8 ohms. Hard to believe no one here knows anything about amplifiers 🥴
Thanks for the video. Mine has started switching off after a few seconds of use, as though I've turned off the master switch (no red light on controller). After a few mins, it comes back on. Could this be a fuse problem?
Is there any fixed time to turn back on? Fuse could be the problem or maybe the power connection that came from the main unit to the controller. Check them both.
Is the text fading or the background light? If it is the text, just reflow all the solder pins of the LCD (watch one of my latest vids). If it is the background, you can replace the LCD unit.
thanks for your video but i wnat to keep original speaker............... i have one z but speaker satiles cone cripy melt down my z 5500 is 9 years old
I’m having issues with my control pod optical out, everything works fine but optical just says “No Digital Data”. I’ve unplugged the cable and plugged it back in but nothing even tried connecting it to my Xbox one but same thing. I even unplugged the system and still nothing. Any idea what the issues is?!
My sub woofer sounds like maybe the center channel signal is mixing in. Some of the voices try to come out if the sub and makes a growly sound out sub. That’s the best way I can describe it. Otherwise these work perfect. Anyone know a good tech?
Those look like they've been left in a backyard shed for years lol. Mine are almost 15 years old and still look new except the control pod crapped the bed the other day.
Speaking of, i just had to look up this video to know how the knob was meant to come off at the last comment. Cleaned mine, and now my optic connection works for the first time in 10 years!
One control pods light is very dim, the other pod light once powered on it go on/off but the pod stays on..one system is mine the other my brother's bougth them around the same time
This video does this system injustice...the Z-5500's are totally worth getting but you have to be careful what you are buying. I have three sets of these and one set is mounted inside an arcade game and they all sound freaking awesome...if you want to destroy things with sound these babies are for you.
Those led dies after a certain time of use. You can check the connection & connect 2 normal leds both side of the screen by yourself if you can. Or you have to get it done by proffessional.
@@karolisys6780 the LEDs got burmlned you just need to measure the voltage across their terminals it should be arround 2.5 to 3V on each LED if you dont have that voltage present on the LCD board somenting is wrong in your control pod or is just a burned LED wich is more likely to happen than something else breaking in the control pod
no se si ya se te dañaron los satélites, a mí me paso así como se ven en el vídeo, se rajaron las membranas externas y ya esta averiguando cómo comprar los parlantes y recordé que esa membrana la cambian y así fue, el gasto fue minino y acá aún los tengo funcionando
This shows cleaning plastic, not repairing speakers in any way. Those speakers surrounds were absolutely destroyed and not a single moment was spent on a supposed restoration of that?
Repairing was the last word which you are interested in. But i am sorry. And those speaker surrounds & cone were completely destroyed. And reparing those things are so costly here. Owner asked me for cheaper solution & he was happy with the restored product. Thanks
After watching this video I’ll definitely try to take my set apart to get rid of crackling noise in one of the satellites I guess the issue is somewhere in the subwoofer I just need to build up my patience
Try to press on the satelite cone and see if it crackels of if it crackling on junst one satelite it could be a bad capacitor on the tda input for that specoific output chanel or a bad op amp either in the console or subwoofer
You could’ve re-foamed the satellite speakers, I guess? They would be more original looking. How did it get foam rotted anyway? I got a free z560 and it was pretty old but not foam rotted.
@@TheOnlymPy on mine only the rear speakers have some cuts... I bought this ones: www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Fits-141C-Audio-Speaker-Rubber-Foam-Repair-Replacement-Kit-3inch/183130112853?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dd4fbe0d9515d4511b4a3710cce86c679%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D183130112853%26itm%3D183130112853%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A6fdbc947-b78c-11e9-98e0-74dbd1807373%7Cparentrq%3A6228ddbf16c0a4e884215b4fffdc65d3%7Ciid%3A1 I still haven't refoamed my speakers since they are still playing good, but I removed one of the rear speaker and glued the cuts with contact flexible glue for now, when the rubber goes all away then I will pay someone to glue the new rubber... The link I provided, I put that rubber above the speaker driver and the measure seems pretty damn good, I think they will fit 100% well, however the quality will probably be much worse than the original rubber, they seem softer to me, since I still haven't used it I can't say if they will sound the same with that rubber, but at least the ones from the link look like they will be a perfect fit for the Satellite speakers. I think you will just have to remove the original rubber, pass a bit of acetone very carefully to remove the old glue (don't pass the acetone on the silver part, I think it removes the aluminum coating), then you re-glue everything and to center well I think you can put a piece of paper in the middle of that hole in the center that has a metal spike to keep it centered, there's tuts on youtube for other speakers, but I don't have a single clue what kind of glue do they use...
You just need to buy new 3 inch speaker suspension and glue them on your speakers but cut a plastic bottle in to 4 10 cm long rectangular pieces and insert the between that big pin in the middle of the cone to prevent the speaker voice coi rubbing against the magnet you cand take the plastic pieces out only when the glue is dry
@@technoboy-allinOne how can they work good when the channel is suposed to output 63W per speaker and the replacment speakers are 1/5 of the original size of the speaker
This is not mine. The owner Bought this 12 years back I think. Logitech stopped producing this model long back. Now Z906 is available with same features & sound quality but with 8 inch subwoofer. you can check that out
Hello. I have the same set. Center speaker don't make any sound from my pc. It makes sound when I press test button from controler. What's the problem? Does anyone knows? Thanks.
Actually may be your settings and audio inputs. I have mine connected from my pc via Auzentech 7.1 X-Plosion audio card with DAC. That's plugged directly via Toslink (optical jack) into the z5500 unit. When you set your settings in Windows make sure you have it set accordingly. 5.1 surround, 7.1 surround etc. Then try to get a good audio software suite. I have X-Ear 3d that came with Dolby Digital standard processing and DTS Direct Theater. Make sure you're setting your processing through Dolby Digital or DTS on the z5500 units settings. With my cable box it won't feed the center channel no matter what I mess with in settings. But it off balances higher to the satellite speakers and bass just fine. Hope that helps.
Hi. I am Mexican so excuse my writing and general expression if it fails. I have Been using this speakers since a lot of time. I love them so much. Right know I am watching this video because after all these years somehow I wanted to watch a review of these beauties... And after made the search in you tube I notice there is only a short amount of videos of this particular speakers. And most of them aren't like " fancy reviews" like those of this days... Far more, most of them are from ( as what I can hear) like European guys... Any way. I noticed most of the if not all used the speakers with electronic devices like PS3, DVD players and stuff like that used like 10 years ago. And to be honest the sound is mediocre. It's odd to see how average they work when they are working directly pluged in to those devices. To be honest they works like 1000 % better when you connect them in to a pc to a proper sound card. That way you don't even need to go for that secret boost volumen twik I watched in the other videos... Personally, I can't even go for a 75% volume up because everything in my room vibrates. Have you ever tried that setup ???
Use the green socket for stereo input. Select dolby pl2 music. Put panorama on. Set cwidth to 0. Use this setting & you will have awesome sound experience
cara como pode ter trocado os falantes,, c é loko ,, era so troca os amortecedores,,,, afff,, eu acho que estrago o som ,,, fazendo isso ,,,,bartim ,, paguei 100 reais , os 5 falantes , fico zerado
The problem on you might be the op amps in the control pod on in the sub try replacing them to findout wich are the op amps just google their part number with is written on them and you will find the datasheets of the particular part that you searched or the capacitor between the amplifier chips and control pod they usually are situated on the small board inside the sub where the control pod connector is there should be 6 capacitors wich are the same just replace them ind see if it works but try the capacitor method first than just loosing lots of time trying to replace the op amps
my z5500s took a shit on me finally :( Cant get the "mute on over tempetaure" message away. I tried putting my ac unit on the pod nothing works. I tried to buy the z906s. Theyre so bad compared to the z5500s, would probably make an average consumer happy... but once you have the z5500s... nothing logitech makes now compares.
Does anyone have an idea about repairing of this unit. Sounds of my unit being interrupted after 2 3 minutes of switching on. When I change the mode, it becomes normal again and same prb after few minutes. What would be this brblm
What kind of interruption? Check your all input connections properly. Try different connection port. Reset the setting from the controller. If still doesnt solve the problem that means the decoder chip in the controller is going to die very soon.
@@technoboy-allinOne thanks for the response. Within 2 3 minutes...sounds like non tuned radio station and goes to mute suddenly. Then I change the input source, it becomes working properly and occur same problem If chip get die, should I change the whole controller or can I repair it ?
We’re you able to get a fix? My sub woofer sounds like maybe the center channel signal is mixing in. Some of the voices try to come out if the sub and makes a growly sound out sub. That’s the best way I can describe it. Otherwise these work perfect. Anyone know a good tech?
Me again :) This time it's different problem. I hear thumping sound coming from my logitech z5500. I tryed everything with cables and nothing works. Also I opened the sub and didn't noticed anything wrong. And it's strange, because it happens everyday only in the evening. I have everything plugged into surge protector. It just drives me crazy. Z5500 are more than 10 years old. Anyone have any ideas? Someone told me about Ferrite Core Cord Noise Suppressor. Do you think that will help? Ty all.
Thats due from the input cables not being shielded or protected from unwanted electromagcetic waves that might be in your house,at the moment you hear the try to change to optical input and see if it still makes unwanted sounds
How did you get them to look that old and gross and why did you replace the satellite speaker with some crappy ones instead of the real one or just replace the surround POO 💩
Neglected by the owner.Originals are not available here, even if i can get,they would be so costly. So i replaced with the same value speakers. Quality is good. Just they dont look so good. But that doesnt matter. What matter is, the sound output. And its as good as the original ones.

From local store. This was owners choice. You can try online. Search for 8ohm speaker with atlest 15watt normal power.

Rubber ring, 3 inch, for a unit with a cone size of 5,5 cm
Is this the right size for the speakers ?
Yep
Thanks! I'll give it a try@@technoboy-allinOne
I have given up on my z906 because they broke after 4 years and got these used :P
Hi, Is it still worth buying this set of speakers at the moment ?
Yes it is. If its available
This video does this system injustice...the Z-5500's are totally worth getting but you have to be careful what you are buying. I have three sets of these and one set is mounted inside an arcade game and they all sound freaking awesome...if you want to destroy things with sound these babies are for you.
@@ChadLuciano Then which set is worth buying?
One of the best speakers. I replaced z906 satelites to my z5500 much better sound
Why my screen light not working ? Any ideas?
Those led dies after a certain time of use. You can check the connection & connect 2 normal leds both side of the screen by yourself if you can. Or you have to get it done by proffessional.
@@karolisys6780 the LEDs got burmlned you just need to measure the voltage across their terminals it should be arround 2.5 to 3V on each LED if you dont have that voltage present on the LCD board somenting is wrong in your control pod or is just a burned LED wich is more likely to happen than something else breaking in the control pod
Тоесть звук сателлитов z 5500 лучше, чем z 906?
Я сегодня провел замену старых сателлитов z5500 на z 906 , звук не изменился
When I plug mine in now I get a loud hum buzzing sound? 🤔
Check it without input, check without vol level, if still there then it has faulty amp ICs
@@technoboy-allinOne buzz loud volume off
@@technoboy-allinOne thank you it happened a long time ago and I never threw it away cuz I would like to fix it
Cuando el mío cumpla 20 años le haré una mantención asi.
no se si ya se te dañaron los satélites, a mí me paso así como se ven en el vídeo, se rajaron las membranas externas y ya esta averiguando cómo comprar los parlantes y recordé que esa membrana la cambian y así fue, el gasto fue minino y acá aún los tengo funcionando
@@zazuguiable Me puedes decir dónde los reparaste? Es decir fuiste con un electrico o con alguien que pone estereos de carro?
@@ramsesji8a fui al cc la cascada en Medellín, en el tercer piso, es barato la verdad el arreglo
Can i use an 8 ohm, 15w speaker as replacement. Almost same size
Yes you can
love you logitech z5500
This shows cleaning plastic, not repairing speakers in any way. Those speakers surrounds were absolutely destroyed and not a single moment was spent on a supposed restoration of that?
Repairing was the last word which you are interested in. But i am sorry. And those speaker surrounds & cone were completely destroyed. And reparing those things are so costly here. Owner asked me for cheaper solution & he was happy with the restored product. Thanks
Such a GREAT job...a pleasure to watch and re-watch!!!...I loved it💕
Thanks
After watching this video I’ll definitely try to take my set apart to get rid of crackling noise in one of the satellites I guess the issue is somewhere in the subwoofer I just need to build up my patience
Try to press on the satelite cone and see if it crackels of if it crackling on junst one satelite it could be a bad capacitor on the tda input for that specoific output chanel or a bad op amp either in the console or subwoofer
@@constantinjitariu1439 Thank you I think I found it Turned out to be the volume knob
sound demo?
You could’ve re-foamed the satellite speakers, I guess? They would be more original looking. How did it get foam rotted anyway? I got a free z560 and it was pretty old but not foam rotted.
How to re foam the satellite speakers
where i can buy refoamed set? can you give me the link? my z5500 sattelite have save problem.
@@TheOnlymPy on mine only the rear speakers have some cuts...
I bought this ones:
www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Fits-141C-Audio-Speaker-Rubber-Foam-Repair-Replacement-Kit-3inch/183130112853?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dd4fbe0d9515d4511b4a3710cce86c679%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D183130112853%26itm%3D183130112853%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A6fdbc947-b78c-11e9-98e0-74dbd1807373%7Cparentrq%3A6228ddbf16c0a4e884215b4fffdc65d3%7Ciid%3A1
I still haven't refoamed my speakers since they are still playing good, but I removed one of the rear speaker and glued the cuts with contact flexible glue for now, when the rubber goes all away then I will pay someone to glue the new rubber...
The link I provided, I put that rubber above the speaker driver and the measure seems pretty damn good, I think they will fit 100% well, however the quality will probably be much worse than the original rubber, they seem softer to me, since I still haven't used it I can't say if they will sound the same with that rubber, but at least the ones from the link look like they will be a perfect fit for the Satellite speakers.
I think you will just have to remove the original rubber, pass a bit of acetone very carefully to remove the old glue (don't pass the acetone on the silver part, I think it removes the aluminum coating), then you re-glue everything and to center well I think you can put a piece of paper in the middle of that hole in the center that has a metal spike to keep it centered, there's tuts on youtube for other speakers, but I don't have a single clue what kind of glue do they use...
You just need to buy new 3 inch speaker suspension and glue them on your speakers but cut a plastic bottle in to 4 10 cm long rectangular pieces and insert the between that big pin in the middle of the cone to prevent the speaker voice coi rubbing against the magnet you cand take the plastic pieces out only when the glue is dry
Thats owners choice.
but wait? u put 10W speakers into the housings of 63w speakers ???
Owners choice. Cheap replacement. But they work good
@@technoboy-allinOne how can they work good when the channel is suposed to output 63W per speaker and the replacment speakers are 1/5 of the original size of the speaker
Did I miss the repair? I kind of didn't see anything of it.
Maybe. That was a little part you missed.
I need give you a big HUG Bro
Bro
I have error with controller no digital data what do I do to fix it
check the cable, change the input
what is the replace speaker model？
Local brand speakers selected by the owner of this system. Though they dont sound like the real ones but they sound good.
My optical in the controller not work. Is it easy to change it?
Yeah you can replace the port
One of my speakers has this annoying buzzing noise. How do I get rid of it? It's only one.
Remove the inputs then check the noise. If its there then you have loose/bad components in the amp kit or groundloop fault in that amp section.
@@technoboy-allinOne If by remove the inputs you mean detach the cables at the back of the speaker, I did that and the noise stopped.
@@travv88 then just replace that cable with a new one, that cable may have broken wire inside
@@technoboy-allinOne I'll swap the two front speakers around and if the problem stays on the same cable it's the cable.
@@technoboy-allinOne It's the cable.
How did u buy this plz send me link or anycontact because iam serching for buy this home theatre system
This is not mine. The owner Bought this 12 years back I think. Logitech stopped producing this model long back. Now Z906 is available with same features & sound quality but with 8 inch subwoofer. you can check that out
mine is like new 2011 9 y old----just led light are dead but screen is still on with functions
but i m sad i cant use them as monitors for ableton :(
Hello. I have the same set. Center speaker don't make any sound from my pc. It makes sound when I press test button from controler. What's the problem? Does anyone knows? Thanks.
Maybe your input is the problem. Connect only one input. The green one on conetroller & on pc as well. Then select dolby music from controller.
Actually may be your settings and audio inputs. I have mine connected from my pc via Auzentech 7.1 X-Plosion audio card with DAC. That's plugged directly via Toslink (optical jack) into the z5500 unit.
When you set your settings in Windows make sure you have it set accordingly. 5.1 surround, 7.1 surround etc. Then try to get a good audio software suite. I have X-Ear 3d that came with Dolby Digital standard processing and DTS Direct Theater. Make sure you're setting your processing through Dolby Digital or DTS on the z5500 units settings.
With my cable box it won't feed the center channel no matter what I mess with in settings. But it off balances higher to the satellite speakers and bass just fine.
Hope that helps.
Hi. I am Mexican so excuse my writing and general expression if it fails.
I have Been using this speakers since a lot of time. I love them so much.
Right know I am watching this video because after all these years somehow I wanted to watch a review of these beauties... And after made the search in you tube I notice there is only a short amount of videos of this particular speakers. And most of them aren't like
" fancy reviews" like those of this days... Far more, most of them are from ( as what I can hear) like European guys... Any way. I noticed most of the if not all used the speakers with electronic devices like PS3, DVD players and stuff like that used like 10 years ago. And to be honest the sound is mediocre. It's odd to see how average they work when they are working directly pluged in to those devices.
To be honest they works like 1000 % better when you connect them in to a pc to a proper sound card.
That way you don't even need to go for that secret boost volumen twik I watched in the other videos...
Personally, I can't even go for a 75% volume up because everything in my room vibrates.
Have you ever tried that setup ???
Use the green socket for stereo input. Select dolby pl2 music. Put panorama on. Set cwidth to 0. Use this setting & you will have awesome sound experience
flood damage???
Yeah kind of. Owner was too careless of this beauty
Someone alse hear quiet squeaking from those speakers?
Nope
What size are the speakers in the satellites?
3 inches driver
@@technoboy-allinOne they are a little bit too low on the maximum power the ones that you out in the satelites dont you think so?
Can u link the replacement speakers u used??
Yeah. Not like the original ones, but its good.
@@technoboy-allinOne link?
cara como pode ter trocado os falantes,, c é loko ,, era so troca os amortecedores,,,, afff,, eu acho que estrago o som ,,, fazendo isso ,,,,bartim ,, paguei 100 reais , os 5 falantes ,
fico zerado
Great job! ;) Im really impressed :)
Thanks sir 🙏
I have a Logitech z_5500
Set problem is volume very low.
And center speaker off
The problem on you might be the op amps in the control pod on in the sub try replacing them to findout wich are the op amps just google their part number with is written on them and you will find the datasheets of the particular part that you searched or the capacitor between the amplifier chips and control pod they usually are situated on the small board inside the sub where the control pod connector is there should be 6 capacitors wich are the same just replace them ind see if it works but try the capacitor method first than just loosing lots of time trying to replace the op amps
I got teared up watching this.... the question is... how long will they actually work after all that neglect?
Well after restoration its still working more then 3 years
Hi all, does Anyone knows how to solve the Mute on symptom when sometime the alimentation cable is moved ?
I have also another problem on mine. The blue led (screen + led button is out if order. Do hou know how to repair it ?
Thanks for your video.
need to replace them
my z5500s took a shit on me finally :( Cant get the "mute on over tempetaure" message away. I tried putting my ac unit on the pod nothing works. I tried to buy the z906s. Theyre so bad compared to the z5500s, would probably make an average consumer happy... but once you have the z5500s... nothing logitech makes now compares.
Your problem with it overheating is the load on the sub amplifier plate try putting a fan on the sub radiator and see if the error occures again

Does anyone have an idea about repairing of this unit. Sounds of my unit being interrupted after 2 3 minutes of switching on. When I change the mode, it becomes normal again and same prb after few minutes.
What would be this brblm
What kind of interruption? Check your all input connections properly. Try different connection port. Reset the setting from the controller. If still doesnt solve the problem that means the decoder chip in the controller is going to die very soon.
@@technoboy-allinOne thanks for the response. Within 2 3 minutes...sounds like non tuned radio station and goes to mute suddenly. Then I change the input source, it becomes working properly and occur same problem
If chip get die, should I change the whole controller or can I repair it ?
Yes its repairable. But first reset the setting of the controller.
@@technoboy-allinOne okay I'll try.... thanks for the support...
We’re you able to get a fix?
My sub woofer sounds like maybe the center channel signal is mixing in. Some of the voices try to come out if the sub and makes a growly sound out sub. That’s the best way I can describe it. Otherwise these work perfect. Anyone know a good tech?
Koe repairing karta h ?? Logitech z5500
It are a little bit TOO cheep speakers 🔈
Owners choice
@@technoboy-allinOne True
It do be a good set for the price
What happened
WTF, CAMBIASTE PARLANTES CON CERTIFICACIÓN THX POR UNOS COMUNES ?, HUBIESES CAMBIADO SOLO LA SUSPENSIÓN.
They are same. Sounds same. Just dont lool so good. Nothing else. Dont stick to this thx certified conecept. These new speakers even sound better
Me again :) This time it's different problem. I hear thumping sound coming from my logitech z5500. I tryed everything with cables and nothing works. Also I opened the sub and didn't noticed anything wrong. And it's strange, because it happens everyday only in the evening. I have everything plugged into surge protector. It just drives me crazy. Z5500 are more than 10 years old. Anyone have any ideas? Someone told me about Ferrite Core Cord Noise Suppressor. Do you think that will help? Ty all.
Thats due from the input cables not being shielded or protected from unwanted electromagcetic waves that might be in your house,at the moment you hear the try to change to optical input and see if it still makes unwanted sounds
при том что я покупал б.у и у меня сателиты как новые а тут порваные в хлам как их можно было так угробить я не знаю

learn to spraypaint :D that was painful to watch
Thanks for your valuable advice 🙏
That, and using the wrong screwdriver all the time. ;) But I do appreciate the effort of making the video.
WHYY THEY LOOKS SOOO BAADDD ....... O,O
How did you get them to look that old and gross and why did you replace the satellite speaker with some crappy ones instead of the real one or just replace the surround POO 💩
Poo 😂
Neglected by the owner.Originals are not available here, even if i can get,they would be so costly. So i replaced with the same value speakers. Quality is good. Just they dont look so good. But that doesnt matter. What matter is, the sound output. And its as good as the original ones.
techno boy Boi just replace the surround it’s cheaper and how did u make them look so ugly
хоть в говне ее купай сателиты на помойку динамики дохлые
