My TV is buzzing!!

stonecoldsteveaustin

Hi, can anyone help?
I have just been given a 28 inch widescreen Sony TV from a mate of mine who has just bought a plasma. I assume it must be a good 5 - 6 years old.
It is in fantastic condition sound and picture wise, however it makes what I can only describe as an interferance type noise constantly through the terrestrial channels and the Sky channels, if I press mute, the sound stops so its obviously a signal noise not an internal workings noise. I have tried all the setup buttons but to no avail.
Any ideas anyone???

Thanks

Have you tried all the leads ,might not be correctly inserted

Sounds drastic: give the TV a whack. If the sound stops then you probably have a vibrating component. I know that my Samsung 21inch, of about the same age, whistled constantly after a few years, especially when showing white or bright pictures.

Fortunately repair was just as expensive as a new telly.

Did you try dropping it out the window?

Moving the Skybox away from the TV may cure it.

If you have two remotes that each work the volume then that may be the problem. I find that if I keep the analogue volume control low and the digital (freeview) control high then there is no buzzing on the digital channels but if I have them the other way round then I get irritating buzzing.
Try alternating which remote sets the volume high and which sets it low and see if that helps
