"Disposable" electronics

on May 16, 2015

Posted by: daed

I got this as a simple way to enhance the sound for a non-primary flat screen TV and use for occasional blue tooth music streaming. While the sound was okay (definite improvement over built-in) it is not up to par with a stand-alone AV unit. Worse, the all-on-one design is not particularly robust or economic. My unit just "died" in the middle of the morning news talking-heads just past the 1-year manufacture warranty. It had less than 50 hours of use time, has never been listened too on loud settings, and is plugged into a very robust surge protector. It just dropped out. The problem is very clearly a main power supply/feed issue as no lights come on. When I looked into having the unit repaired I learned that it is not considered (by Pioneer) to be field-serviceable so you cannot take it into an Pioneer repair shop. There is an option to send the unit it and pay $80 to have them tell you "it doesn't power on", but the manufacture considers the product a disposable electronic appliance, so you probably should too. If you're okay dropping this sort of money for 50 hour of "better than built-in flat screen" sound, enjoy. I will consider this a learning experience and go back to tried and proven home theatre solutions. (Sadly, Pioneer and Pioneer Elite brands fit into that picture less and less.)
