I have just purchased a Sony Wega 32" TV. Although working well so far when I initially turn the TV on there is a slight flash on the screen, which remains black for a while, and then a strange noise before the picture appears a few seconds later. Is this normal??
The slight flash on the screen is usually because the CRT (picture tube) is holding a better than average charge and this is what we call "pre-glow" The noise that you hear, is that everytime you turn it on or just after it has been off for a while? If only after the set has been sitting off for a while then your noise is the internal degauser for the CRT and that noise is 100% normal. The degausers in Sony TV's are so strong they usually make the plastic cabinet vibrate a bit.
