Yikes, they wont even fix the 3 speaker?
They claim they don't do repairs. I think they sell the problem ones to a company that refurbishes them then sells as refurbished

Well I tried reformatting USB flash drive and its a no go. So port must be dead. Anyone know how the new TDK A73 is compared to the 3 speaker?

The A73 looks to be a smaller unit with smaller drivers (5.25 inch v 6.00 inch). The sub idea is cool but the reviews I've read aren't too good (6/10). It's a pity TDK didn't hold back some 3 speaker stock for all the warranty jobs.baddboybill said:
Out of warranty equals: No repairs from TDK. "Throw it away a buy another one" they recommend.
My mother and sister both purchased digital radios just over a year ago and with gentle use, both radios are now headed for landfill.
Part of my job is to deliver set top boxes for a local pay TV operator. Half of my daily deliveries are replacement units to replace the DOA units I delivered the week before!
Will we ever see new products that are built to outlast the warranty period?

If it's made in China, it's TRASH! Companies only care about the bottom line, not quality, not customer satisfaction...JUST GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!jimmyjimmy19702010 said:The A73 looks to be a smaller unit with smaller drivers (5.25 inch v 6.00 inch).

This is a real bummer to read this thread. When these new TDK's came out, they were uber expensive and I had hoped the money would be worth it in sound quality and build quality.
So...... I have a TDK 3 speaker, now I'm wondering how much time I have left on mine!

Code:
TDK Speaker Bricked
• Power off, remove power, and remove any USB media.
• Connect power; hold the OK button, power on. The Boombox may appear dead, but it's not.
• Keep holding the OK button for 15 seconds. Release. Press OK. Wait one second. Press OK again.
• Wait another 15 seconds.
• Power off.
• Insert USB media with firmware.
• Power on.
• Firmware will now install.
• If this did not work initially, please make an important change: use a different thumb drive.
• Download firmware.
• Insert thumb drive, quick format as FAT32 with a Windows based computer, with default allocation units, naming the drive TDKFLASH. Remember, nothing else but the firmware needs to be in the flash drive.
• Copy firmware to empty thumb drive and eject.
• With the new format from Windows, this should work.Lasonic TRC-920

On another note I went to look at the new A73 and its a piece of crap!!!!!!!!!! I called TDK and said "either they fix mine, replace it with a new one or give me my money back because the A73 is a piece of sh't ". and that's how I said it. They are looking into it. I also asked why they would warrantee a unit and not repair or replace it. They had no answer. The guy wanted me to do a survey and I told him if I do one it will be all negative and suggested they make me happy
