Surround Sound gets static

We have recently hooked up external speakers to our tv, they sound great at first, but then they turn to static. (not the speaker system, tried multiple sets) We think something might be getting too hot, possibly a fan not working? We have a small fan blowing on the back of the TV now and it continues to work, but this isn't a good fix.

I'm trying to understand if the speakers are connected directly to the TV, or via an amp. If you have an option try connecting them through an amp so that the TV doesnt have to amp them, you'll get better results. even if there was no static in the first place its a better idea. Good luck!

I have recently been given a toshiba regza 32 LCD TV that had been connected to a surround system. I hooked the TV up , the pic comes on but no sound. The speakers didn't come with the TV.

Are you sure that the TV has external speakers? Go to the on screen sound setup menu to make sure the speakers are not set to OFF.

I have a 42 inch sanyo tv I am trying to hook up saround sound or just extra speakers

Extra speakers without having the external speaker jacks in the rear is definitely a NO NO. The surround sound is used by connecting the RCA jacks from the TV that say Audio Out to the surround sound audio input on the receiver.. The RCA cables are cheap, you can get them at Home Depot ect....

Surround sound hookup question?

It looks like all you'll need to do is hook up audio out from DirecTV to audio in on the surround sound system. Sony has an interesting hookup recommendation guide on the product support site:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-home.pl?mdl=DAVC700&LOC=3

That should give you the connection options. The short answer, though, is to connect the best audio out from DirecTV to an audio in on the surround sound and then choose that option in the surround sound system when you want to watch TV.

No Sound on TV??

I would borrow a set of external speakers to see if I could get sound from the sound circuit at all, if not, then it sounds like the repair shop.

Hello. My 52 inch RCA projection TV model no. MM-52100 bought probably in year 2000- from Circuit City. Chasis MMC102A. Original problem was TV looked 3D. I think this problem is called convergence? It would "straighten up" if I turned the TV off then on. Now when I turn the TV on, it turns off- then the green link blinks 3 times. TV does not turn on at all. Thank you so very much!
