I bought a refurbished MM-1 from Amazon. Speaker gets very hot after switching it o for awhile. Is it normal?

Both speakers become warm to the touch on the tops. The power unit (left speaker) gets a little warmer but neither should be hot to the touch. You might want to try calling B&W with your issue. They have wonderful customer service and a toll free number found on their website.

That is a known "characteristic" of the MM-1. Whether it is acceptable or affects long term performance is less clear. Despite loving the sound, I returned my brand new set of MM-1 due to the heat in the top of the right speaker, which was always warm when powered on and HOT when in use. I found it unacceptable in a new product designed to be on for long listening sessions. Others have experienced less heat and don't see it as an issue. Best of luck either way.

My refurbished unit (not brand new) goes into standby mode periodically if the volume is set to 0db or higher. It may play for about 30 seconds then powers down (standby mode). YPAO detects all speakers. I am convinced that I have properly connected all speakers without any "shorts". I sent the unit back for replacement. Yes I am disappointed, also.

I have noticed no overheating issues. It does not muffle the speaker either. Its really a great case. I like it better than the otterbox for this phone.

Yes it does get hot i took the cover off and drilled lots of vent holes in the cover and does not get as hot. Also it will not pass true 5.1 surround sound so mine just sits in the closet now.

Mine does not get hot either in AV cabinet with three sides and few inches clearance around sides, 10 in back. Way less heat than the Onkyo I replaced with it.

Not manufacturer- this unit should not be more than noticeably warm. Also please make sure your speakers are within the impedence range( >8 ohms), if they are I'd call it defective.

Depending on how long ago you bought it you should be able to return it. I think it's either 14 days or 30 days for returns, but the speaker itself may have a warranty that covers a longer time period as well. I think the first thing you should do is to contact the seller, i.e. Amazon or whoever Amazon fulfills the order for and tell them your issue. Then see how you can return it (whether exchange or refund). Also check the iHome product website to see if they have any info on faulty items and warranties. Good luck!

This has happened to me also. Make sure the speaker is charged and press the button labeled "M" to reingage the speaker. It's a pain when it happens but I haven't had it happen much.

Mine have also been turning off when hot. Now that I've seen that you also have had this problem, I think I'll return it. I thought it was only mine!

I haven't had any trouble with mine slowing down had it since July. Recently though the speaker has given out on it. It sounds blown I haven't had a chance to investigate the warranty yet, but it doesn't really bother me as I usually have it plugged into my car stereo or headphones.

I think it is an internal problem, a bad ground, or a bad component. The first one I got had that problem, I called Amazon customer service and they replaced it, the second one has been ok. I didn't have much luck getting hold of anyone at Pyle.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

I have a problem with mine. Within a month or two i have had cable problems - the left speakers keep cutting out and I have keep the wires in a specific position to get sound in both the speakers. I am very disappointed. Since I am in India I am trying to see how to get this repaired.

I had the same problem. There was some speculation that it was due to overheating. Because of this and another problem I had with this receiver, I returned it and got a Pioneer unit that I am much happier with.

Never had a problem with mine acting like this. Amazon is excellent on returns and customer service. You may have gotten a bad unit. Request a refund or replacement.

Mine has been running for over a month. It sits in an AV rack system, so I don't see it often. I just checked and it is only warm to the touch.
