I was adjusting the speaker wires when it began smoking. Now when I use it, the LEDS light and there's no sound, reckon its the fuse or is it fried?

Check the fuse and make sure the speaker wires aren't touching. Make sure that the Amp. is not on all the time turn it off when not in used. I have NO PROBLEMS with my Pyle Home PCA3. I hope this helps!!

check to make sure the wires are connected correctly or check to see if you blew the fuse

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

Anderson - there is a fuse that can be seen in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASYoEiOf5x4Could be a simple fix.

Try switching speaker wires.....if still not working,it is most likely the unit itself.

Maybe something isn't hooked up right and a fuse blew...same thing happened to me I had a blown fuse..changed the fuse and its been great ever since

I ran a wire from my led switch to the amp that way the amp is only on when my lights are; The lights are a good reminder to shut it off. I'm not sure if the was a light or not on the amp but i know it still pulled power when speakers were "off"

Blown fuse, wiring. Check fuses first (easiest) then look at wiring. Could've blown amp if wiring/ground bad.

It sounds like it is shorting out, check all the wires to make sure the coating is not have a hole to exposes the bear wire. You can try 1 size larger fuse, if that don't work I think you have a defective jack !

There is a fuse in the part that plugs in the plugin. You may want to see if the fuse is blown.

There must be a crack in the pc lines. They are set up in groups of 3 LEDs. Cut it where it's dead and apply power from other end. It prob got damaged. OR Talk to the seller. Some sellers will send a new strip/ spool

Mine just blew up in the area where the cord goes into the porcelain part. There was a loud pop and smoke. The innards of the porcelain part are burnt. I just got this in June 2014. Has anyone else experienced this?

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 same problem. I found that moving the plug slightly up, down or left, right, it would start working momentarily. The connector is probably not fastened well to the circuit board. I returned mine and bought a different type. (thanks Amazon). This one works great and sounds better.

That is a power surge protection feature. Check for a kink in the speaker wire and make sure all bare wires are tight and not touching each other in the back.
