Sony TV Repair in Doylestown PA

Posted & filed under TV Repair.

Need a Sony TV repair in Doylestown PA? We can help, but there are a few things you might want to check yourself first. We’d love to have your business, but we want to be sure you really need us.

Sound Problems
If you are having problems with no sound, check the following: Make sure that the volume is turned up on both the TV and on any cable or satellite box, and check that the mute feature has not been activated. Also ensure that you don’t have any headset or adapter plugged into the headset jack.

Make sure that the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) is set to “Stereo” or “Main”. You can use the remote control “Display” feature and scroll through until you find the “MTS” settings.

Video Problems
If you are having picture quality problems, first see if any other TV’s in the house are experiencing the same problem. If they are, the problem is with the signal source, not the TV.

Try turning off any electric or electronic equipment that may be nearby, such as vacuum cleaners, fans, radios and microwaves. Even fluorescent lights can cause electrical noise.

Check that all cable connections are secure and make sure that the TV is set to the same channel that is selected on your cable or satellite box. This is usually channel 3 or 4. The TV channel may have accidentally been changed.
