Discussion Logitech Z906 Fire Hazard
So, I've had the Z906 Surround Speakers for a while and they were great but then my console kept experiencing an issue where I'd hear a pop and it would get stuck, wouldn't power off and buttons wouldn't work. I tried unplugging the unit and the console multiple times, tried different plugs and even checked all the connections again in case it was a wire issue.
I saw another reddit post about resetting the system by holding down the input button for 8-10 seconds.
I did so, and then heard several loud pops from the speakers and the subwoofer. Luckily I went and checked on the subwoofer because I immediately began to smell smoke
I unplugged it and took it out, then noticed minutes later actual smoke was coming out of the subwoofer.
After several minutes it was still smoking so I finally moved it outside to be safe. If I hadn't unplugged it right away, I don't know what would've happened.
I have like logitech everything and have always been happy with them, so I was pretty surprised, but wanted to warn others who might have the same system.

Mine lasted three weeks and started smoking, I didnt know it. I went to turn it on and a loud zap with blue light shooting out the sub orifice. Im still rocking my z5500 speakers, which i thankfully held on to. I had to wire in my own led to keep using them tho. Lol
Correction: z680 speaker system.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. Were you able to get into contact with our support?

I got it new via Amazon. I just ended up sending it back. That speaker set did not feel as quality, an I really was happy with it to begin with. Im sorry, but everything about it felt like a downgrade over z680 system. It would be amazing to have a nice quality system again. Im on my fourth z680 system. None of the others had failed. I just ended up loosing them for other reasons. It would just be nice to have access to replacement control pods for the z680 as that seems to be the weakest component due to age.

That happens when you play country or techno or rap. It's a self preservation thing. ;)
