Sony Bravia XBR-2 32-inch LCD with popping noise problem
2 nights ago when I was turning my TV off for the night I suddenly hear a consistent popping noise coming from the TV (it happened when I turned the cable box off and was about to turn the TV off).
The popping noise is constant and happens regardless of what channel is on. However, when I mute the TV the popping noise stops which led me to believe it was a problem with the TV's sound system.
The Sony tech-support representative (over the phone) diagnosed it further to a problem not with the TV but with the cable box/service because there were no popping sounds when I played a DVD on my Playstation 2 that is attached to the TV.
Has anyone heard of something like this where the cable box/service is causing popping sounds? And is this something I should be concerned about causing damage to the TV's speakers?
There is no problem with the picture.

not at all.

they are right that your problem is not due to tv.
it is due to cable box/service?
yes
but not defective it reqires to change the way you have connected tv to cable.please call tech to get it connected in such a way so that you do not get popping sound when you you put off cable box.

This tv only a week olds,should never having this problems already.The tv should be return and get a new tv for the replacement,this tv have tv Tuner signal board or tv power supply board distrubution problems.Even when the store test it out it work,don't take that tv back.Insit they give a new tv for the replacement.
try cycling the power (unplug 2 minutes) and plug in and wait 30 seconds and turn back on. if this doesn't work, could have been a surge, your protector should have saved it, but could have been through cable or something. surge protectors will guarantee no damage for several years, check with the manufacturer maybe they'll cover the repair.
Are these lines visible regardless of what device (DVD player, cable box) you are watching? If so, then yes, it appears the LCD panel is failing. If you only see the lines watching one device, it could be the cable/wire or the device itself. Now it can also be the related input jacks too so connect the device to another input to be sure.
Unfortunately, we have the same problem. We hear popping and our sound goes lower. It is not the cable box for us, it's definitely the TV; however, it happens, on our set, after its been on for a few minutes and then goes away after half an hour or so -- however, this evening its been happening for the past hour and the TV has been on for the evening.
on the tv remote:
press menu,
external entry is highlight (yellow)
right press on the outer circle
then scroll down to video 4 (satellite entry)
(it could be on video 3 depending of the satellite assignment entry)
when video 4 is highlight (yellow)
right press on the outer circle
on the screen you will see 1080i
if settle on an HD channel
hope it will fix your Sony Bravia..
