Not unless your a tech and have some solid state elctronics experience.. These are sofisticated electronic circuits and a TV set is no place for a handi person or a do it your selfer to be tinkering with. theres several devices and equipment you need as there are no tubes to replace inside these sets except the picture tubes and you cant take those down to the drug store and test those tubes on the free tube tester,.. your gonna need to callout a trainde tech to assist you with this repair . good Luck

Most likly dryed up capacitors in the power regulator circuit is causing the set not to work properly. Common problem Also horizontal output shorts if regulator goes to high. So there may be an underlying problem if the hot is shorted.

My sound just went out

If this set has the Guide Plug logo printed on the front of the cabinet, unplug it from power and power it back.

If that does not help look in the menu for SAP which is secondary audio program, that will mute sound on some channels and may be your problem.

What do you have hooked to the set and how?

By the way if you hook a DVD player to the rear jacks on the set and go to that input and have good sound the problem is not in sound circuit.

There has got to be a way

I have this model..was trying to hook it up to a directv hughes receiver. After a day of trying and many curse words I found that using this hookup works . Hook up your satellite connection to you tv as usual...Now plug rca cables(red, yellow white) into the corresponding holes on the BACK of the Directv receiver ..now plug the rca cables into the FRONT of the Magnavox player...you will only use find holes for the white and yellow(that's ok) Now hook up up the dvd player to the tv using the rca connection back of dvd/vcr player..or if your tv only has a coax connection you will need a rf modulator available at walmart etc. You will run the dvd/vcr on L2. The key is the connections to the FRONT of the dvd/vcr player..I hope this helps..:)

Lightening struck nearby and the tv went out. Now

Obviously the tv took the hit but the dvd player was spared. check and replace the fuse in the tv if it's open. If this does not fix it then get an est and file a claim with you homeowners insurance.

I just had directv hooked up, I have a dvr receiver, I was told I did not have enough hook ups on the back of my tv, so therefore, I went and bought a switch or combiner. Now, how do I need to run the...

Newer directv hd receivers must connect to the av input (yellow,red, white) connections on the back/front/side of your tv. If your tv only has one of these av inputs then you will need an RF modulator for your dvd player. You will connect the (yellow,red, white) connections from the dvd player to the rf modulator and then connect the tv out on the rf modulator to the tv rf jack ( the silver threaded barrel on the back of the tv) Tune your tv to channel 3 to watch a dvd and then back to the av input channel for the directv receiver.

Hook up dvd

Found this on http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/118015-hooking-up-dvd-player.html,

The Directv box should have at least two sets of out puts. You did not say what receiver you have and if the dvd is a player only of a recorder so its hard to say how to connect it.

If you have a dvd player only then take the output from the dvd player and connect it to you tv's second input, HDMI or component or what ever is a match between the two unites.

If you have a DVD-Recorder that you want to record programs from the directv receiver then take the second output from the receiver and connect it to the input on the DVD-Recorder and connect the output as above.

Hope this helps.
