I also have a problem with Speakers shutting off often, and I have them plugged in, not on batteries. When they work, it is great. Wondering if it would help if I got a larger transmitter.

Everyone on here talks about the fluff. Like how pretty or ugly the speakers are and what they use them for. But the elephant in the room is what are the connectors on the back of the base station? There are zero pictures of the back of the base station and calling many distributors no one has a clue. There are no online user manual pdf's either. I awesome there is an electrical outlet and 2 audio in/out connector holes? Does anyone know? Thank you for helping me as I want to hook this up to my Home AVR Surround Sound system to use for listening to the radio.

I'm having the same problem with speakers shutting off for long periods of time; I am not using the batteries. Is there a way of getting a more powerful "tuner", or whatever it's called. Also, Royal has the worst customer service I've ever known; everything has to be done by "mail". Not worth having to spend the money to send them back to the company, only to have them tell me they work o.k for them. If they worked continually, they would be great. The "signal's" the problem for me.

I don't think it's the receivers. It's the connector at the back of the base station and it's plug in. This happens to me all the time. There doesn't seem to be any way to repair this problem other than the purchase of a new set - evidently, you can't purchase just the base station. I even changed my 'tuner' but it didn't help

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

I have two of these speakers. The first one I bought stays on all the time. The second one turns itself off after awhile. No idea why.

I keep them on my patio so I have not had this problem but I have had some drop out that is fixed by 'power cycling' the speakers and transmitter to basically 're-pair' them. Pardon the pun. --Ed

jmaze, would need a bit more info in order to be of help, most likly your tv speakers are not turned off and are fighting with the yamaha. I would suggest that you check all settings on the TV and on the yamaha. if still no luck, try calling cox and/or yamaha, both should walk you through the set up, good luck.dj

THe problem is in the location of the speaker according to a TV repairman. We have a Bose system now and do not use the TV speaker.

It really depends. If the protector mode happens after you start playing audio, then you most likely have a short in one of your speaker wires. Unplug all of them, and turn it on. If it works fine after that it is one of your speakers. If not something in the receiver, likely the amp has gone out. I had this same problem. Call support and tell them your issue, if they are unable to resolve, you can have it send in for service to be repaired. Of course this would assume you are still under warranty. I had this same problem. You can also upgrade you support for around $50, and they will extend you warranty for 2 years, and cover all the shipping. Good luck! It really depends.

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

I don't notice a noise in the speakers until I turn off the tv and leave it on then it makes noise. As for overheating, I just touched the back of mine and the metal is hot but it hasn't overheated yet and it's been in since the day I wrote the post. I'm sorry if that doesn't help

Hello, well, that just happened to me, it was working fine until one day I couldn't turn it on at all. There is one thing the makers of this Soundbar forgot and that is : Manual Controls. Somewhere in the Bar should have the Controls so, in cases like this, the owner could turn the Bar on and manipulate the Volume, Bass and Treble and the other Features. I called Philips and they sent me a new Remote Control but, unfortunately didn't work. In my opinion due to the fact that the Circuitry inside is very Sensitive any Fluctuation in the Electrical Current like a Sudden Blackout, etc. could damage the inner system. I don't remember having in my neighborhood any Blackouts but anything is possible. I notified Philips concerning the outcome of the new Remote Control so they advised me to let Amazon know my situation. Amazon did a good response, something I am very grateful. Thank you. Joe.

I had the same problem and tried everything to remedy the issue, even shutting off all wireless networks and devices in the house- nothing worked. I sent it back and was sent a new sound bar and had the same issues. I gave up and suckered my I.T. department to come to my house...it worked for 6 hours. It was great for those 6 hours. Wireless subs are very sensitive, my issue may have been the copper pipes (in floor heating).

I haven't had these speakers long, but like them. I'm older and can't read the little switch. I've figured out which is off (obviously), what are the other 2 positions for? Also, noted in the blurb above that the bases are magnetic. Do I need to keep them away from my computer because of that? I've been plugging them into it to recharge. thanks for your help!

No mine didn't do that when i though it was a good speaker if it did wasn't for 2mins, but ive stopped using because it kinda sucks imo ive just been using the tv speakers with Smart sound on and volume mode on high hope this helps

I'm not sure if it's same problem I have. It drops off if on "mute" so I just turn the sound way down instead. I have to shut down the TV and the DishTV receiver for a few seconds then turn both back on. otherwise. The sound comes back on. I have been able to just power on the sound using the included remote.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

Is it charged all the way? Are you moving the speaker too far from your other device (don't know if it would make it turn off, but just a thought)? Other than that, I really don't know. If none of those options work, try contacting the seller. They do give good customer service.

I have a cordless phone and cell phone and have used both in the same location as the speakers. Nothing has happened to either phones reception or sound. Also have not had any issue with sound from the speakers. I mute the speakers when using either phone where the speakers are. When using the phones and not in the chair where speakers are, I do not mute the speakers and have no issues with phone or speaker use. Others use phones in the same room and no issues. Have not noted any issues at my Father-in-law's, who also has the speakers, when cordless and cell phones are used. So no issues and nothing happens as all devices continue to work normally.
