z5500 Nightmare

I love the speakers but we’ve had a falling out.

Basically the analogue inputs don’t work. I contacted Amazon who fell over themselves to replace the kit. This duly arrived and this set had the same problem. Troubleshooting for 2 hours led me to believe that it was never meant to be so I shipped one set back (the one which decided to display scrambled text when I chose the direct inputs rather than the one that was silent.

Optical works fine. Co-Ax works fine. Analogue works for 2 minutes then stutters and gives up. I’ve dropped a query into the Logitech forums hoping somebody can help. I only need the analogue inputs to run the Boy’s PC. This would mean that the TV volume control can be relegated to emergencies only. It also would allow loud iPod moments.

I’m disappointed but not so much that I want to send the other set back. It does 90% of what I need from it so I can’t really expect much more. dts surround sound is still better than flat stereo. Makes me want to go through my DVD collection again.
