Haven't had that problem with mine, in fact the low setting is too loud and I put my finger near the speaker to tone it down when I am running. Steves119 echoes my suggestion.

Try this--Turn on the dm50, once the sound starts, look for a small vertical line just above the bottom of the screen,press the select button in the upper right corner--this will move the little line to the right-move it to the volume then push the up button just below it. There only three volume settings--then it mutes--good luck

The gray with the blue buttons is the last one I purchased. I have the other model that you describe. I bought that one several months earlier. On that one the sound is very low.

The manual says "When the batteries are nearly empty, the battery indicator blinks", it does not mention anywhere a sound. http://download.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvt5500_00/dvt5500_00_dfu_aen.pdf

All I can suggest is to change the batteries. That happens when they get low. It is suspicious that yours never worked.

OMG I thought I was alone! I'm getting no sound at all this is ridiculous! Ive had my system for a year and same as everyone else except my door says open and it doesnt anymore. Philips sells junk! They have been no help but to tell everyone to try that software upgrade that doesnt work! I have found a blog with thousands of customers who have Philips products that dont work after a year! BEWAREGo to this Link!http://www.consumeraffairs.com/home_electronics/philips.html

Ours kept doing that also. We had it for about 3 years and finally last year it started to the same thing. I took it in to an authorized Panasonic dealer to see if I could get it repaired and I was told that the part that was needed to repair it was no longer available. I hope you have better luck than I did. We no longer have a sound bar for our T.V.

I had the same issue after around 8 months of use. I had to send it back to be fixed

I switched quickly to the PLT_M50, which does not have the problems I described in the M20 and I have small ears :)

We had the same issue and it went away after 2 days. We actually ordered a replacement because we thought there was something wrong with it, but ended up returning the replacement because the sound went away fairly quickly. I contacted the company and they do have a 90 day warranty if it continues or it can be swapped out through Amazon.

My speaker doesn't indicate when the battery is running low. It also stays on forever when I charge it. But I don't experience what you are experiencing. You might want to return it for another one.

This happened to me, too. I had to replace the batteries soon after installation. Since then I have had no early low battery chirping. All I can imagine is that the batteries that were included with the unit were old or weak from the get-go.

We had ours nearly a year when they started to disfunction. Seems to be a wire in the jack not connecting anymore which fogs the sound.

Not here. I would unplug it and see if it still happens and if it doesnt, I would assume its something to do with the volume dial.

Hi Kathryn K. My headphones worked well for about 6 months. Then left side start being mute, if I want to hear from it, than I have to tap it few times and then it works for a while and then it will mute itself again. To expensive for these kind of problems. But I guess it is to late to do something about it.

Just check your settings and see if it somehow got put into silent mode. Outside of that, I don't have any other idea.

I had the same problem after a year and a half. Mine was of course out of warranty. Was sickened. Loved the sound, portability ect... I wont buy again.
