I bought an Eke 5.1 Speakers - AC3 / Dolby from Aria and have not been able to get it to work. I connected it to the dvd player through a optical cable connection but after a few minutes the subwoofer/amplifier unit makes a loud thud and switches off along with the speakers. Sometimes it restarts automatically but then switches off again a few seconds later.

The max. time I've had it on/working at any one time was 5 minutes . I've checked the speaker wire connections (+ and -') around 20 times and have also tried using the cables provided (aux red and white plug cables) instead of the optical but I get the same problem!.

Is the speaker system faulty or am I making a glaringly obvious and common mistake ????

Since its been a month since I got these any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like it's a faulty unit,try leaving it on with nothing connected to it and see if it does the same,if so it is faulty.

Thanks for the speedy response!. I will test your suggestion and post back the results.

I left it powered on its own for a while but it still switches off on its own. i guess its time to return it. Thank You for your help.

Should be no problem getting it swapped,it should stay on,may have a faulty component that is overheating.
