Turning the speakers off on theToshiba REGZA 42RV530U 42-inch: Anyone have any clues?
235347
Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Toshiba bundles their laptops with a program called "DTS Sound". Find this program, and turn it off. It works much better after this.

First off, complain to Sony. If enough other people do, they might just make a firmware upgrade with a setting to turn this off. In the meantime, you could use a learning remote like the Harmony series for example to mute the sound before turning off the tv and unmute sound (a volume down keypress may be the surest way to do this) after turning on the tv. Alternately, you should be able to disable the internal speakers with one of the menu options or at least turn the volume down to zero and simply use external speakers. Even a cheap stereo CD player and radio may have more bass than tv speakers anyway. First off, complain to Sony.

I agree with Kanagaraj. What I do is have the console set up as normal. The speakers are connected to the tv audio output. Turn the tv volume down and just use the speaker volume. It's what I do when I watch movies on my PS3 and it sounds great. Hope this helps!

I have two units. One is dead silent in the idle mode, the other has a barely detectable white noise. Try double-clicling on the Play/Stop button to change into another audio mode, such as for speech.

Ours kept doing that also. We had it for about 3 years and finally last year it started to the same thing. I took it in to an authorized Panasonic dealer to see if I could get it repaired and I was told that the part that was needed to repair it was no longer available. I hope you have better luck than I did. We no longer have a sound bar for our T.V.

I dont seem to be having that problem. Make sure you are using an optical cable or HDMI w/A.R., not RCA plugs. Or, if your TV has the ability, shut off the internal speakers.

What you are hearing is the PlasmaWave. Hold down the power button for 3-5 seconds and it will turn off the PlasmaWave feature (and the sound goes away).

Try turning the volume on the speakers down, and the volume on your computer up.

Make sure you set your sound source to Line. Otherwise it won't play out the speakers.

jmaze, would need a bit more info in order to be of help, most likly your tv speakers are not turned off and are fighting with the yamaha. I would suggest that you check all settings on the TV and on the yamaha. if still no luck, try calling cox and/or yamaha, both should walk you through the set up, good luck.dj

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.

Try reducing the output volume. I have to keep mine fairly low. Takes some tweaking

I bought mine second hand and wondered if the fan noise was reason the person sold it. It gets cancelled by the speakers obviously but at rest it is noticeable.

Yep, I did. Hook an optical sound cable from the TV to your receiver and switch TV sound to external speakers. Mine sounds awesome in surround sound. This will turn your TV speakers off however. Cheers, Gary

In the setup of my TV, I disable the TV speakers so that I only get sound through the surround sound system speakers which get their audio from the receiver. I agree with the other suggestion to call tech support assuming that the loss of sound from the receiver is random and not caused by an action by you.
