[Brand new RSB-8 turns off randomly - unusable]

Turned off again. Guess the unit is simply defective.

I'm an overseas customer, so hoping to resolve it without having to involve support. If the problem reappears I'll probably just get the unit swapped via the retailer.

Update: seems like unplugging the power supply from the wall outlet and plugging it back in resolved the power/reboot issue. I don't understand why it would, but it's been stable for 20 minutes now, crossing my fingers....

 

(firmware still won't update though)

Have you tried updating the firmware? Is it brand new? Call Klipsch support?

In another thread on this forum, you will see I already posted that I tried to upgrade firmware of RSB-8, but the firmware upgrade won't trigger no matter what I do. I've tried 3 separate USB sticks, I've even tried both FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS file systems. No matter what I do, the firmware won't upgrade.

I got an RSB-8 today, and unfortunately it is completely unusable.

 

About every 5 minutes it loses connection and turns off. I first thought the problem was HDMI-CEC, so I connected the TV via optical instead. Still happened. Then I saw the wifi light in the back started flashing when it happened, so I tried to change to a different wifi network, same problem.

 

It also disconnects randomly when playing music over spotify via wifi.

 

Extremely disappointed with this, anyone know what could be the cause, or if anything can be done? Or is the product simply defective and has to be returned?

I have the exact same issue, following instructions, nothing happens. Tried multiple sticks
