white_van_matt Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 My Kenwood Z838w MP3 player has got serious issues It keeps cutting out the CD at random intervals, and only comes back on sometimes when you smack it. It's also making circular scratches on the top of the CD And my sub sometimes cuts out at high volume, and gets really loud when you press the attenuator So much for top of the range eh!Bloody Car audio shop has gone crap too - they were excellent when I bought my entire system off them a couple of years back, and now they are telling me its gonna be 5 working days before they can even give me a quote for fixing it It's so depressing putting so much time, effort and money into something and then seeing it go to pot like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorted_mk6 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 i know wat u mean bout kenwood mate, im havin terrible trouble wit my cd player.i linked my sub (10" vibe) to the front pre-outs but wen it gets to a certain volume the sub gets stuck on a certain bass tone n the only way to stop it is to turn off the power. If i switch the vibe to 180* instead of 0*(this a switch on the built in amp) the sub dont get stuck on a tone but the bass is well off!Yet on the rear pre-outs the sub works fine, and the damn screen cuts out now and then so all i can see is black!got it from bass junkies and they have tested it and are tellin me its fine and wont replace it. not impressed Oh, and if anyone got any ideas on thses probs, plz give me a shout!!cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
