Glad it worked out for you as the 2.1's are generally a good-sounding 3-component system and you hate to hear of someone having to give up on them just for this DIN connector thing. Dctrmac

Which system are you trying to fix? I recently put up a post (970888) for a work-around for a broken DIN connector for a ProMedia 2.1 system that worked for me. Someone else in a much earlier post did the original ground work. I just elaborated on the info to hopefully make it a little more clear. Don't know if it applies to your situation. dctrmac

Sorry it didn't work out for you. The only things I can suggest are to go back and check all the connections and make sure each is secure and also that each one is isolated from the others. Also, make sure the grounds are connected to one another and likewise isolated from the individual connections. dctrmac

Cant take credit for this work-around as I got the info from this forum. I cant seem to navigate back to the writer who posted prior to give credit where credit is due. However, I too fell victim to the broken Din connector at the end of the connection cable from the control pod (seems to be a common problem from what I read in the forum). I used the following fix which I had gotten from a prior individual's submission and can verify that it does indeed work: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Items needed: small sharp knife, soldering iron, electrical tape, and a 6 ft keyboard/mouse extension cable (part # 26-149A, $15) from Radio Shack The Fix: Cut off the old Din connector from Klipsch cable and cut away a couple inches of the outer covering to expose individual wires and and surrounding outer braided silver grounding wire; twist the braided silver wire together into one; strip a third of an inch or so from the ends of the individual colored wires; cut the Radio Shack cable at the desired length from the male end (end with the pins) and then repeat the process of exposing and stripping the individual colored wires; the Radio Shack cable also has a small central silver grounding wire; join the wires using the scheme below and join the grounding wires to one another then solder each connection to secure; next tape the connection in such a manner to isolate the individual connections from each other and the grounding wires Connection Scheme: RS Wire Color Klipsch Wire Color yellow green red orange black brown brown red orange yellow green black
