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.

For many, that means finding someone – like Mort’s TV & Repair – who specializes in vintage audio repairs. We love to repair vintage audio equipment, but there are some devices we repair more frequently than others. Here are the most common pieces of vintage audio equipment we repair:

Classic tube amplifiers offer a sound and experience modern systems just don’t have. We’ve replaced vacuum tubes; fixed input and output issues; problems with the unit operating; and more. Tube amplifiers are beloved by those who own them, and should be always be working at their absolute best. And we can make sure that’s the case.

What is a Plasma TV?

You probably look at the plasma TV on your wall every day, but do you know how it works? Plasma TVs utilize miniscule tubes, in groups, to hold the gases necessary to make up the pixels. These pixels are held together between two plates. When the television is turned on, the plates are electrified, causing the plasma to glow. You can see the same type of activity in a neon sign. The rest of the process is similar to any other TV. Information is carried to your television throughout your cable, antenna or satellite dish connection. This information is then interpreted by your TV set and displayed as pictures. Plasma TVs are known for their incredibly sharp picture quality.

Repair

If your plasma TV isn’t working quite like it used to, it could be due to a number of reasons. It is possible that your television set can be repaired, so let our team of Bensalem TV repair technicians look at it. With all the technology involved with a plasma TV, DIY home repairs are rarely successful. It takes a trained technician to really resolve your plasma TV woes.
