How to repair a Sony SSF-7000 - one of my cones became 'dented' in slightly. I wanted to take the speaker out and push it back out. But the screws holding the speaker to the cabinet are something I haven't seen before. Anyone know how to take the...

Just pulled a grill and they look like socket/Allen head screws...use an Allen wrench to remove.

Yes. Return the whole set. It only gets worse. We had the system for a week and it happened and the one speaker quit working completely so we returned it. We bought a Sony set and have been really happy with it.

Probably not any rational reason to attempt a repair given the time you'd spend mucking about at the task. These are quite inexpensive speakers. Jack and wire problems aren't uncommon with small speakers and headphones if only because the very small gauge makes these parts fragile. If I were you, I'd just order a new pair and then keep that fragility aspect in mind.

FYI, the speaker fit in the box perfectly using the holes left from the old speaker. The sub does it's job, but the sound isn't the same as it was before. Now I need to keep the bass volume pretty low or it sounds distorted, but it does work. Hey, paying $14 to fix my system is WAY better than paying $140 to replace it with the same thing!

yes the screws almost fell in when I mounted mine all you have to do is take the 4 Philips head screws out of the back and take the speaker out and push the screws back in Mount the speaker bracket then put your speaker back in

HiI have this link saved since long and waiting for 2nd August!But in the updated pics i saw speaker will be covered by hole sort of structure which blocks it more or less?Is this the final version of the case considering 2nd August is near by.

Problem: Yes, the tape drive system produces an undesirable sound. I sent my original back to have it repaired. Sony could not correct this noise problem, but they did report to me that they tried several of the cameras on site and all of them also made the sound. I requested another new camera which they agreed to, but it does the same thing. Fix: I tried using an external mic on a stand, but the quality would pick up too much ambient noise. I recently corrected the problem by purchasing a Rodeo Shotgun Mic with an adapter shoe for the camera mount. I wish I had done this years ago. You don't realize how important good sound pickup is until you use a good quality mic. Problem: Yes, the tape drive system produces an undesirable sound. I sent my original back to have it repaired.

This sound is not normal. I had the same issue with both my speakers when they arrived. I was too curious to send them back, so I took out the speaker and tweeter and found a piece of wood corner brace that had came unglued. I also noticed the crossovers came loose from the inside of the enclosures and were hanging by the wires... I remounted the crossover, took out the loose corner pieces, and put the speakers back together and they woked fine. I'm still using them, and I like the way they sound, but I am disappointed in the build quality.

Hi Richard,We recommend you contact Sony about this matter to see if they can give you specific feedback about repairing this. We are sorry we couldn't be more specific, but we would hate to give you wrong information.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

You can use your own..I did anyways. Just so you know I only had my subwoofer for 2 days. Its been months now and its not fixed. The sub is really crappy. It broke twice. I just bought a energy sub and the system now rocks. Just thought you would like to know.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

Make sure the connector you are attaching to the box itself is in the right position.......it is very tricky. Sometimes I think I have it right and it is not. The shape of it is not the best to distinguish the top from the bottom. Other than that possibility, it could be the indicator light is just simply not working. You may need to send it back for a replacement. And DO THAT.....I absolutely love mine. It is a GREAT little speaker. :)

I called the manufacturer and they fixed it for free. It took 2 months to fix at the local repair joint that onkyo picked, but it still got fixed and hasn't malfunctioned again in the last 2 years.

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 took a look at the back and here is my observation:There are at least two ways to mount the speaker from the back without anything holding the weight at the bottom. One way is a single thread (either M5 or M6) located at the back center. I think this is most secure way. The second way are two mounting holes (pear-shaped) on the back sides located 3 inches away from the centerline. I hope this is helpful.
