Logitech® Z906 Surround Sound Speakers

Overview

5.1 surround sound speaker system with the amplifier built into the subwoofer and managed by an external control console attached using a DE-15 connector.

Purpose

Provide unofficial documentation of the serial protocol and possible firmware/configuration modifications.

The console firmware can be modified to:

  • Automatically turn the speakers on when power is supplied.
  • Change the automatic standby idle timeout from the default 2 hours.

Automatic standby

To enable/disable automatic standby, hold the "level" button for 5 seconds (until the level change light goes out). There's no obvious indication that anything has changed but the stored effects for all of the inputs will have been reordered because the console sends them in the wrong order (check by turning the console off and on).

To get this into a known state (automatic standby enabled), hold down the "input" button for 8 seconds while in standby. This will reset all settings.
