I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...
188116
That sucks Ronny. Have you tried just plugging in the power cord and see what happens?
188117
ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.

Mine is September 2010 also. What I did last night was pull the TV back out of the box and hook it back up in our room. In complete silence, I can hear a slight noise when the volume level is between 1-2. If I put it on 0, I hear nothing and anything above 2 I hear nothing. This is a gift for my son for Christmas. Once it's actually up in his room and has been used for a couple days I will check it again. What kind of connections are yall using?

Donnie,That's good news! what does the manufacturer date say on the back of yours??Mine is October 2010 and has static issues, another person who tried 2 TCLs had September 2010 dates both with the sound issue.

I was thinking about this also. Some TV's will pick up electrostatic noise when placed around other componets, cables, wires etc etc. The HDMI cables I was using yesterday have the ferrite cores on each end. This is what I have. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10240&cs;_id=1024008&p;_id=4026&seq;=1&format;=2And this is what Ferrite Cores do:Question: What are ferrite cores?Answer: Ferrite cores are the cylindrical fixtures placed near the connectors to filter noise and high frequency interference.

I have no noise on HDMI at all....only on coax. So Donnie, the ferrite cores on your hdmi cable might not be the solution...just the fact that it's on hdmi. The static I hear is easily discernible up to past 10. I've never heard of putting ferrite cores on a coax cable.So to anyone reporting whether they hear the static, you need to be more specific. Say the type of connection used when hearing or not hearing the static.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

Sorry, I can't help you there. I have not experienced such a problem. Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. I use my "mini" to do small group gigs. I hook it on my waist and it adds that little boost to carry the sound. I have never tried to play it at a loud setting. Frankly, I'd send it back and get another one to replace it. I still like my Danelectro.

we only have two in our office using them. To date we haven't had any issues with losing a call. I do get static from time to time...it is more like a low rumble in my ear. My customers don't seem to hear it but it is unnerving and a little uncomfortable because it makes my eardrum vibrate. It only happens periodically and is easily fixed by turning it off then on again. The older Version (which I still have and use at my other office) didn't do that.

There is not much information here, but my guess would be that the system either has the internal speakers off or the system is set to internal mute because it thinks an external sound source is controlling volume. I assume you are receiving some sound and it is just not changing as you toggle volume up and down. If you are receiving no sound at all, I would bet it is a cabling issue and you do not have a sound source connected to your TV. Hope this helps despite not being terrible specific.

I have one from 2011, as long as they haven't changed it, you hear static the whole time. The only way to not have it is cut sound off completely, but then you don't hear baby. It hasn't bothered us because we like white noise to sleep.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

I don't have static...but for the price I paid, the volume of the sound is quite low...very disappointing!!!

the hum level on my pioneer speakers is very low. you can hear a faint static sound if you put your ear right up to the speaker, but it is not intrusive. on the other hand my friend also has these exact speakers, and he sometimes noticed a much louder static noise on his speakers, much like a guitar amp sometimes picks up radio/ cell phone frequencies and those noises come through the speakers. but I think that happened only because somehow his speakers were near some sort of frequency. so it's more of a variable problem, not something that always happens. hope this helps. :)

Only if there's nothing playing. When I'm playing music or podcasts, I don't notice any static or feedback.

Yes if you have this product Send it back at high-volume get static I tried to send it back in the manufacture didn't take it Now I'm stuck with it.

We have always had the base on the shelf next to the tv. When I tested the base in back of the tv, I got a lot of static. The only time the static stopped was when I was about 2 feet in front of the tv. Don't let this stop you from buying the ears. We have two pairs now and don't know how we ever lived without them.

If this is heard only when set to PHONO, you could be experiencing static discharge (especially in very dry winter weather or if you routinely leave a record on the platter). Google "records static electricity" for more and suggested fixes.

It was no static, it was just really quiet. When I unplugged the iPhone from the speakers, the phones speaker was A LOT louder than the speakers plugged in.

Hmmm . . . the only thing I can think of then is that perhaps you have a defective unit. On mine, the low end is full and powerful, so much so that I've never felt the need for a sub (I'm using JBL L880's by the way). Curious--do you also notice this phenomenon with headphones?

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.

I found my set to be very balanced in sound. In my old unit, the bass distorted at high volume. This unit appears to balance the bass with the other sounds. Could your unit be defective?

Never had any static issues with the two I ordered. Been using almost 6 months. Do you have other equipment around that could be causing the problem?
