No one publishes service manuals for anything anymore, claiming it is all proprietary.

However, the bigger issue is that current modern gear is unfixable. That is because the components are surface mounted by robot, using hot air soldering. Basically the rule these days is that if it fails out of warranty you chuck it.

I tried to fix a sound bar for a friend, and I think I could have repaired it may be. The part I needed was nowhere in the US. A site in China said they had it. Of course they lied, and what they sent was the wrong component. So off to the recycling center with that one.

Anyhow, what is the exact problem with your soundbar?

I see one at hifiengine.com. However, when I tried to click on it it comes back with "the page isn't working right now"

Is there anything worth fixing anymore I’d think unless it’s still under warranty no??
Say a $1000 avr breaks it’s still cheaper to replace?? Same with these bars ?? I’d go passive for speakers, some are worth fixing?!!
