nope, i connected the grey wire to the green wire (central signal), i still hear buuuuuuuuuuuuuu sound.
So if i connect the grey wire to the blue-black wire, that mean the subwoofer signal will be coming from the central speaker signal wire then?
Hmm... That means the central speaker and Subwoffer have the same signal. I have connected toghether and I don't have problems.
Nope, i am still getting the buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu sound after connecting the grey wires to the blue-black wire.
I just test the sub with all the speakers. Once i turn on the switch, all the speakers and sub have the buuuuuu sound coming out.
Here are a photo and a short video.
Photo: Pin 7 to +5v -> Turn on the amp (Same as connecting blue wire to +8v)

Video of the beep sound when turn on amp, it sounds louder than in the video (sounds a little different when i hook the db-15 connector to sound card)

** The beep sound is gone once i connect pin 8 to +5v (which is mute on). Though i can't hear anything from the speakers or sub...

I don't know why are your speakers buzzing..
When my speakers sounds BEEEEEEEEE, i do it. But I don't know if my satellites are buzzing because I don't have satellites connected to the z5500 amp.
Good luck!

Hi,
I know this is a little off topic but im wondering if anyone has extended there Z-5500 control pod using a SVGA cable?
I've read a few stories where a normal 15 PIN cable works perfectly.
Would this work http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002P4MO26/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
I ordered my speakers and the cable today so i'm just hoping it works as i want my subwoofer away from my desk, but i'd like the control panel on my desk.
Your help would be very appreciated as i've literally spent all day trawling the web trying to find a definitive answer.

Hi,
I also am without a control pod. I have the old rca style z-5500's. Are they any problem long-term effecting the speakers by removing the control pod.
I just want to do this properly. So i need a shielded 15 pin vga cable? As i heard non-shieled emitts a humming sound. This "z5500_rcavers_db15" picture. And i guess 4 1/8 plugs for the other end to use for front, back , center and sub?
Then that leads me to the next question. Will i be able to do the left and right with this in windows on my pc for sound setup? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. As i would like to do this the right way and be done with it.
Or if i missed something or left something out, please tell me or correct me. Thanks for your time.

I was just given a "headless" Z5500. I'd like to use it as an amp for an inexpensive keyboard. But I'd like to have a volume pedal. Anybody have any ideas?
I have been reading the posts about the Logitech z5500 speakers. I have a very mint condition "clips" type new in August 2009. The "pod" is gone and I would like to build a set of cables that can be used to connect my speakers to an Ipod. I can not get my system to "activate" I have tried connecting pins 6,7 & 8 to ground as suggested in a previous post. Does anyone have any further advice?
Thanks for any suggestions or advice

Wire the mute and standby pins of the TDA7294s to a positive supply. You can use the 18v supply from the regulators, don't use the main rails as they're a bit high for this purpose.
Thanks for the input... Late last night i finally figured it out. I smoldered the 3 small control wires (OR, WH, BL) from the input board and connected them to the 8V logic source. It worked..
If you have further suggestions or comments please make them.
best regards,

Glad it worked. There have always been issues with those pins, as certain revisions of the ST Microelectronics datasheet specified that they be connected to a negative source (error on their side). Instead they should be connected to ground when the chip is to be in standby mode, and positive when it needs to be turned on.
Hi!
I got the z-5500 spring clip with a broken control pod, so i found this site and used both cables from the pod the one goin into the sub and the cables from pod to computer, but now the problem is that i only get the center to work with some loud annoying sound coming back and dissapearing.
i did as follow
1-9
2-4
3-5
6-7-8 to 13
but instead of using an receiver im using the computers 5.1 soundcard with realtek audio, what is the problem in this installation?
