SWA 4000

by tcm25 - 2/21/09 4:44 AM

When I play the volume up to number 9 it is ok but when I play it louder the unit`s fan starts up and the buzzing noise is terrible,I have taken the unit back and have received a replacement but that is not any better,if I press my hand over the unit the buzzing stops (have tried placing unit in different places and with different materials underneath) is this a common problem?

Very little feedback

tcm25,

I haven't seen many people post about the SWA-400, but of the posts I have, I haven't seen anyone post a complaint about the same issue.

Horrible Samsung SWA-400 Wireless Rear Speaker System Whine

by r320gilmore - 5/1/09 2:22 AM In reply to: SWA 4000 by tcm25

I have the exact same problem. It's VERY IRRITATING. The system is otherwise flawless. What's the deal with this?

I'm on my second receiver... I hate sending it away for 2 weeks only to receive another set of speakers with a nails on chalkboard sound eminating from them.

I can't seem to find a solution short of hiding it in a soundproof box.

I know how you feel I returned 2 units before I actually got 1 that worked.I have spoken to the shop and have been told both units had the same fault so it must be a common problem.Hope you get it sorted.

rslavelle,

Did it start after owning or running it for a while, or did it come out of the box that way?

It came out of the box that way. I got the unit last week from Amazon.com and installed it yesterday.

rslavelle,

I will be checking into this, however, I don't have any way of guaranteeing a fix on this. You may want to exchange it; it's up to you. I want you to be happy with our products in the meantime.

Samsung swa4000 / 4000 xeu / 4100

by andrewjr1969 - 6/14/09 12:18 AM In reply to: Samsung swa-4000 fan noise by Samsung_HD_Tech Samsung staff

Hi I have just ordered a SWA4000-XEU (not sure if this is different) . Any way, question I have is that I have bought a BLuray samsung 5.1 home cinema system (model HT-BD1252), and have just noticed that the instruction manual says I need a SWA4100. (Yet SWA4100 appears no where in the UK). I have been advised by two different electrical retailers that the SWA4000 XEU is fine and that the XT card is compatible. But can anyone confirm if this is correct please? Or will the SWA4000XEU not work with my HTBD1252 system???
Quick answer appreciated from the samsung hd tech please or anyone else who knows!! :-) Thanks
Andrew

andrewjr1969,

I believe it will be compatible, but I have no way of verifying at this point if that's the case. Since it's already ordered, keep me posted and we'll go from there.

Is it possible that, in the event it doesn't work, that you can return it?

Samsung SWA 4000 compatible with HTBD1252 5.1 Home Cinema

by andrewjr1969 - 6/17/09 12:10 PM In reply to: Samsung swa4000 / 4000 xeu / 4100 by Samsung_HD_Tech Samsung staff

Hi just to let you know that despite the Samsung HTBD1252 handbook saying you need the SWA4100 wireless receiver to have wireless rear speakers, I have just received the SWA4000 unit, and it works fine. All I had to do was:

1) Install the XT wireless card in the back of the bluray player
2) Plug in the speakers and turn on the wireless receiver.
3) Turn on blue ray player
And within seconds everything paired and working straight away!
Easy!

Thanks for following up. It'll be good for others in the same situation to know that there is another option.

Congrats, and enjoy your home cinema!
