      Hi Nick,

      Don’t worry. I am 50 years old and Electrician / El.Engr. since almost 30 years, I know the dangerous parts in a CRT.

      Options 1,2,3 are all the same, makes no differences to the noice which one I select.

      Brgs,

      Tom

        Hi again Nick,

        So I did Picture->1->Store and got a blink from the red led, this was in stby mode. But upon turning the tv ON, the sound issue was the same.

        I guess the next thing is to open the TV and check components, wiring or other visible issues.

         

        Will update here.

          Thank you so much Nick for this advice! I will try this tomorrow as the TV is in my workshop on the other side of town.

          Yes I have the original remote, so I’ll give it a try. Yes by hacking, I ment installing that button in the back to get access to service menu, but I’ll wait with that then.

          Yes you’re absolutely right, I wont dive off the deep end here just do methodically as you suggest. Thanks for the encouragement, on the Facebook group for B&O repairs I was advised to bin the TV as “it’s going to be too much work”. I beg to differ…

            Hi Nick,

            Thanks for the reply.

            I dont have the user guide, as I also suspected some sound setting to be wrong. I have no clue what the ex owner had hooked up, I know he had a lot of B&O equipment, so TV might have been outputting to something else. Also wanted to get in to the service menu, but haven’t been able to do so from the remote, might have to do that “hack” on the board.

            What do you mean by wholesale recapping?

            Thanks a lot!

            Tom
