GE television My television is losing it"s audio and the picture is terrible. The volume has to be all the way to even get sound, and the picture can not be adjusted enough to get the color right.

Yeah, by hooking to your audio system. Most of these sets have
sh-- sound.

your audio input cables to back of tv has eather went bad or there criss crossed.

and the only troubleshooting they will do with you is this.

Press the volume button up and down to see if you can see not just hear but see it changing up and down. If you can see the volume changing then the television is not at fault. The problem would be the signal source (set top box or etc. from which you get your television channels).

If you don't see the volume changing then you know the television is at fault. Loose inverters or an inverter board that has failed is usually the cause for this. This is something that a local service provider of flat panel televisions can repair but you will have to pay for parts and labor. Be sure to get estimates so you can decide whether or not you want to buy another television.

It would be our pleasure in assisting you with that. We would recommend using our Volume Leveling feature which is available on our ViP222k, ViP612, ViP722k, and ViP922 receivers. Volume Leveling keeps the volume levels consistent between programming and commercials and prevents drastic volume level changes when watching television between HD and SD channels. Start by pressing the "Menu" button then pressing 6 for "System Setup" then 7 for "Audio Output". Select "Enable" below "Volume Leveling" then select "Done" to save these settings. If you're using a ViP922 receiver from the main menu select "Settings", select "Audio Output", and then enable Volume Leveling. This should help with the volume fluctuation issue you have been having. Thank you for being a valued DISH Network customer!
