Bataar Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 How do you get that screw out? The manual tells to unscrew the the pedestal. How is this done? That screw is in so tight that the phillips head tears when trying to unscrew it. I'm going to have to send my satalite in or something (still waiting to hear back from Klipsch customer support) because there is no way I can get that screw out. Have any of you had this problem?

Moderators Amy Posted February 15, 2001 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2001 Yes, some of those screws are on ridiculously tight. However, you do NOT need to remove the stand to get the CP-1 on, it just makes it a little easier. Just push the pod back as far as you can against the stand and slide it forward. It can be done, trust me. I've done it several times! ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com 888-554-5665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bataar Posted February 15, 2001 Author Share Posted February 15, 2001 Thanks for the advise, they're now up and running. I just hope I never decide to use wallmounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardent Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Hey! Well I did same as you bud. I got the CP1 and had to go to another speaker to install it easier that the screw wasnt so darn tight. Well guess what? I took it a step further, and got 4 wall mounts. I managed to get 3 on the wall but the 4th sattelites screw will NOT budge. I am stripping the screw along with my phillips screw driver. I want the other one on the wall!!! HELP!! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardent Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Argh I am SOO upset. I been trying for like another 30 minutes to get this screw loose and it isnt coming out. Why the heck the Klipsch make it so tight if they knew we'd have to take out the screw eventually???????? ARGHH!!! I WANT THEM to take it back now and give me a new satteline, alone, with just the stand and a screw seperate. This is ridiculous. Otherwise Ill just send me stupid Wall mounts back.

CitizenX Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 I was thinking, do you need to reattach the CP-1 if you want to put the speaker in a tight spot?? Could you mount the CP-1 (connected by cables) say under you monitor! IF it functioned that would look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenX Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 I was wondering do you NEED to reattach the CP-1 pod at all... will it work seperated? wouldn't ot look cool mounted under the monitor? I guess I will email tech support! I need to put my satelites in a tight place..I prefer not to put them on their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik-of-Bass Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 The control pod does not need to be attached to the satellite for it to function...take it off the sat and put it/mount it wherever you want to...provided that the cable is long enough. Double-sided foam tape works wonders here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardent Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 You can take the control pod off and put it anywhere. Oh... whats that.. having trouble getting the CP1 back off after you put it on? Snapped all the way in there? Hey... THats the way its suppose to be. I wanted to take my cp1 off and guess what... Its stuck, just like the damn screw is stuck. Everything is such a tight fit with these Klipsch items and Im not liking it. Stupid screw, Stupid CP1!!!! SOmeone tell me what to do!

Moderators Amy Posted March 22, 2001 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2001 Ardent, Use a #3 Phillips screwdriver with a large handle...another tip: wear some rubber gloves to get the best possible grip. If the screw is stripped, however, there's not much that can be done to save it. Call our customer service at 888-554-5665 and arrange an exchange...specify that you want the stand removed before it is shipped to you. ------------------ Amy ProMedia Tech Support promediatech@klipsch.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenX Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 I cannot remove my control pod from my new 4.1! I think its going to break... it darn near fell off of the old model! Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rol1 Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 A tool called an impact wrench, that anybody with a decent tool box has, loosens the screw with just a tap. Set speaker on a folded towel to protect finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted March 28, 2001 Moderators Share Posted March 28, 2001 CitizenX, The 4.1 control pod was made to have a tighter fit, but it will still slide off. Just apply steady pressure... --Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenX Posted March 28, 2001 Share Posted March 28, 2001 me again. just to be really safe. which way does it slide off? Towards the cables/back OR Towards the dials/front? Thanks... I wish there was a diagram and insturctions for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted March 29, 2001 Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2001 Toward the cables (backwards). The best way I've found to do it is to hold the speaker up and use your thumbs to push on the pod. --Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenX Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 I beleive you......but mine WILL NOT BUDGE! I have had three 25 year old me trying in various ways and NO luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
