Toshiba 19LV505 combo/dvd tv that has absolutly the worst sound, the setting only goes up to 50 and you still have a hard time hearing the tv. Is it just poor speaker quality. I have cable hookup and hdmi hookup, not sure if that helps. Thanks Bob

You might have accidently set it to one of the special sound settings such as dolby or DTS. Bring up the main menu and look for the sound menu.

Dear Lesley!
It looks, like your DVD lens might get contaminated with dust and/or dirt, which is being picked up off DVDs. Let's try to load music CD, instead or DVD. If it loads well, I will suggest, that your DVD player is at fault and you must give up using it. External basic DVD players are quite inexpensive and easy to connect to your TV. But: if no CD, nor DVD load, the solution might be much simpler: use lens cleaner CD with brushes. good ones might even have a special fluid, which applied to brushes(alcohol based). Just load it into your TV's player and follow audible directions. After couple attempts, your lens should be clean enough to play DVDs. Please, don't try to use any "ear swabs", instead. The lengths is not long enough, plus it may damage load mechanism or get stuck inside. I've seen such a cases lately.
Good luck,
Thank you,
Alex.

Tries tv menu Sound Setting adjustment.Tries all the setting to the max like treble,bass,balance and surround sound is on.This should help make the audio louder.

Bad news. you need the remote, or a remote anyway. An inexpensive Phillips Universal remote can be had from nearly any hardware or large grocery store. It is easy to program and absolutely necessary to use the TV menu.

Go to screen set and reset the tv again, then start over

Unplug,replug it an hour later let the tv reset itself.Go to the tv menu go to AUDIO,go down the menu,go to reset,press this to reset the Tuner board and all it functions.U should have sound now,not than ur Tuner board is defective have shorted componnent on the board.Tried websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish Tuner board for the replacement.

Use the controls ont eh side of the TV to access the setup menu. See pages 10, 16, 22, 60 of the manual:

Since Toshiba 19LV505 is a 720i monitor. Mak sure the resoltion in your PC is as one of the following:

Monitor Display modes
MODE Resolution Refresh rate
VGA 640x480 60Hz
VGA 720x400 70Hz
SVGA 800x600 60Hz
XGA 1024x768 60Hz
WXGA 1280x768 60Hz
WXGA 1280x720 60Hz


Make sure the 2nd one is no bigger than 720, (remember, it is 720i TV) Otherwise 19LV505 will not be able to handle it, all you see is black.

Try it and see if it works.

is there a tiny little hole you can insert a paperclip into around the front of the cd.
if so use a large one if you have it , insert and press hard to eject.
if not then you will need help.
even if you get it out the eject motor belt is likely slipped or broken.
