I would Google the model number carefully for "problems" "no sound" and usually this set will display some kind of error code===it may even have a hard reset to try===service manuals are available on the net/web to allow you to see how the sound circuit is set up etc.

This is on a protection mode.This is a case to be handled by a qualified service technician.

Press the HOME button on the remote. You want to find the CLOCK/TIMERS section. Navigate to SETTINGS. Use the arrow keys to select item. Use the arrow keys to set current time. Press RETURN to display the confirmation. Select YES to save the changes.

If the line is stationary and a very fine line and affects the on screen display or menu you have a bad panel.

Its a socket for the wireless unit? I would be interested in knowing the brand of the unit and if possible a better idea of what is broken--is it on the set or the wireless headphone unit?I get a lot of people looking for a wireless unit they can use and I am willing to help you as much as possible.There is on the page here a small "make a comment" button where you can reply to me--site will email me.If you research me (SD TECH) YOU will see I am the top rated tech on this site.This site is free (means a no pay site) so I do this for free to help as much as I can.Regards, SD TECH

Eight time blinks to sony TVs indicates Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code. Check IC406 audio amp, PS401, and 402. On some projection models of Sony TV sets, this code means that T8005 (flyback transformer), or the associative components in the high voltage circuits are defective on the D board

I see so many here with no sound/nopicture issues:ISSUES: 1. IF sound main fuse/s are good.2. If no power or standby check main fuse, standby power supply and any signsof damage you can see---burnt parts etc.3. almost all these sets the troubleshooting involves checking voltages on the main power board to narrow down theproblem.4. Be safe and if you do not know what you are doing don't open the set.Answers to issues:1. RE:fuses---if a blown fuse is found get a good replacement(not the genericones like Radio Shack). Many fuses are special even aside from amperage--Don'tput a higher rated amperage fuse in the set for any reason.2. RE: power supply in set: if total dead aside from main fuse the set uses astandby power supply that runs 7/24 and a main supply (some are combined andsome not.Here aside from checking fuses you want to examine all the filter caps on thepower/standby to see if any are puffed up or buldged up in some fashion--Iattach a photo of a good one---top should be silver metal and PERFECTLY flatand have no brown material coming out on top or bottom.What happens in the standby area is they use caps with too low a voltage rating(saves money) which causes them to fail in a year or two---the standby runs7/24 and the heat dries out the caps and they fail.3. Trouble shooting consists of the above and then at some point you have to buyand try a board to see if it fixes it or not.4. Safety first--no TV set is worth getting injured or even killed over.If set is opened at least look for puffed up and bad caps like in thisphoto.

Its a nice screen, so yes I would say it is worth fixing.The manual for the screen is here

If a disc cleaner did not fix it the optical pickup is defective--not sold except (if even available) a complete unit---time to go shopping for a replacement unless it was a real expensive unit.You have this question listed under flat panel TV sets.

HelloWho told you the panel is defective?

The problem is your cable box. I know you said you replaced it, but I work on TV's everyday and, sorry to say this but cable box HDMI outputs have serious issues, like no or intermittent sound and video. I have seen customers exchange their cable boxes 5 and 6 times and still have the problem. Your best bet is to use the component outputs of your cable box, visually you will not see a picture difference between component and HDMI when using a cable box. Your other solution is to get satellite; I have NEVER seen an HDMI issue with a satellite box
