In Reply to: How does the Toshiba get the "TV" signal? posted by Joe Murphy Jr on June 02, 2004 at 22:38:24:
I took the VCR feeding TV input out of the path. It made no difference.Why is there be a problem with the sound through the TV input but the sound through the 2 video inputs is fine?
Follow Ups:
Here's my best guess:The demodulator and/or resistors/capacitors directly after it on the circuit board in the Toshiba TV are bad. The RCA inputs on the TV are separate from the coax (RF) input on the TV, which has to be demodulated (decoded, if you will), and that's why they work while the coax (RF) path is giving you a problem.
The TV's demodulator probably needs to be removed and replaced. Usually the coax (RF) input and the demodulator are together as one piece (the threaded part leads to a very small silver "box" on a circuit board inside the TV).
You might be able to find Toshiba demodulators at markertek.com, partsexpress.com or mcmelectronics.com, if you want to do it yourself. If it ends up being resistors/capacitors as well, they'll also have to be replaced. If you are adept at soldering and electronics work, this should be easy. If not, I'd let a TV technician do it (I'd estimate this repair to cost around $50 - $100, depending on how much they want to screw you).
It's probably worth my having the work done.
The coax (RF) input or an RCA audio/video input on the TV?
The TV input (the one with no sound) and the video 2 (to PIP) are both fed by coax. The video 2 from the DVD player gets the picture from an S video feed and the sound from RCA plug connections.
