loss of sound?! help please...

innocentbystand · 01-06-2006, 09:22

i got back last night and turned on the tv to find the picture was there but no sound. i made sure the volume was on max.
i am using a sagem freeview box....

i thought it might be the sagem so i pluged in my vcr (has a tuner) and there was no sound. pluged in the antenna directly and still no sound.....

just to make sure i pluged in the sagem into a smaller tv and it is perfectly fine, picture and sound.

i am guessing my tv's is shot? is it worth a repair or would it be really expensive?

cheers

havent you got any repair shops local will do free estimates how much it would cost to repair and if its to much just buy a new telly

Who needs sound on a telly?

Plug your sources into a hifi amp and speakers, and let that take care of it. Better sound anyway.

Just a thought, but have you tried plugging headphones into the telly, and using it's own tuner to see if the sound is actually doodahd.

I know this might sound daft but you haven't put it on mute accidentally?

Have a look around the back of the set.
Most Toshiba TVs have a switch to select the internal speakers or external ones...it will be near the external speaker connections.

Why do people who haven't a clue what they're talking about come away with statements like this?
Do not post replies unless you have a good understanding of the subject.

Doh, read it again. I suggest an alternative path, that may be more worthwhile if his telly is out of warranty.
