I am trying to connect exteranal speakers to my new Technika TV

If your Sharp LC-45D4CU television is not producing sound when you connect an external speaker or sound bar to the audio out jack, there are a few potential causes and steps you can try to fix the issue:

1. Check the audio out jack: Make sure the audio out jack is clean and not damaged, and that the connection to the external speaker or sound bar is secure.
2. Check the audio settings: Make sure the TV's audio settings are set to output sound through the audio out jack. You can check the settings in the TV's menu or user manual.
3. Check the external speaker or sound bar: Make sure the external speaker or sound bar is turned on and set to the correct input. Also, check the speaker or sound bar's connections and make sure they are secure.
4. Check the cables: Make sure the cables connecting the TV to the external speaker or sound bar are not damaged and are securely connected.

If these steps do not fix the issue, there may be a problem with the TV's audio out jack or the external speaker or sound bar. In this case, it is recommended to contact Sharp customer support or a TV repair technician for further assistance.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the sound issue on your JVC TV:

1. Check the volume level: Make sure that the TV volume is not muted and the volume level is high enough to be audible.
2. Check the connections: Ensure that the audio cables are properly connected to the TV and the external speakers. If you're using an external audio device, check its connections as well.
3. Try resetting the TV: Turn off the TV and unplug it from the power source for a few minutes. Then plug it back in and turn it on.
4. Check the audio settings: Access the TV's audio settings menu and ensure that the sound mode is set to "Stereo" or "Mono". You can also try changing the audio output settings to "TV Speakers" or "External Speakers" depending on what you're using.
5. Try using a different audio device: If the above steps don't work, try connecting a different audio device to the TV to see if the sound works. This will help you determine if the problem is with the TV or the audio device.

If none of these steps work, it's possible that there may be an issue with the TV's audio hardware, and you may need to contact a professional repair service or the manufacturer for further assistance.

There should be a output on the TV. Hook the sound bar up, set the TV up to use external sound and use the sound bar remote untill you sync it to a different remote. Give it a try!!!!

Carlos, I just bought an LCD tv too. To connect external speakers to mine I had to buy some high end 5 channel pc speakers and connect them through the headphone jack(I know how stupid that sounds considering we spend $1000.00 on a TV and thats my only option for external speakers.I looked at your owners manual and didn't see a headphone jack though so you may have to opt for speakers that plug in with through the usb port. Some new tvs won't support external speakers unless you use complete home theater surround sound system which will connect through the rca cables (red,white)

Some actual model numbers would make this conversation more relevant.

If your PC speakers are self-powered they should accept the RCA output from any device that provides headphone or Line Level audio.

Where is the TV audio actually coming FROM? Maybe a Cable Box? THAT is where the PC speaker should tap in.

Many TV's have a Fixed or variable audio output. Fixed allows for disabing the TV speakers or turning its volume down without affecting the audio out to other devices.

How did you connect it up to the TV? I am stuck even connecting mine yet alone getting sound :S

It's the internal circuitry problem. Try muting it and put audio connection to other speakers if it repeats, your TV audio system is internally dying.the audio connections has to be checked and faulty components should be replaced.
1. Speaker short.
Open it up and check the speaker connections. ONLY if you have basic skills working on electronics and don't have a warranty.
2. Sound Volume "Leveler"
Look in your sound option menu for a sound "balancer" option and turn it off.
If this doesn't work disable the sound and invest in that surround sound system (external speakers solution of your choice)

try this.for first unplug the main power cord of the tv for couple of minutes and then reconnect it.also before reconnecting the power cord of the tv again remove all the external device wires connected at its back such as dvd player/vcr etc etc.just connect only tv wire and check out.if still the same problem then its quite possible that the capacitors and ic on the audio circuit board are getting short in between so the circuit is not getting completed and cutting in between so the tv starts and turns off. if the tv is connected to externalk speakers then check out without connecting the external speakers and see whether it works.if it works that means tv is perfect.but if tv is having inbuilt speakers that its confirm problem with inter audio circuit of tv.so try connecting external speakers at the back of tv and check out.
