My toshiba tv set is 14 years old. Model #cf3262b. The red bleeds, distorting sound on only some channels. When the color is turned down, the sound is still distorted. It seems to bleed also when graphics are shown also in white, blue, and red. When the graphics appear, the sound gets louder with a buzzing sound where you can't hear the sounds of the program or commercial. I want to fix myself if anyone can help me troubleshoot the problem.
Toshiba tv problem

Based on the fact that this is a 14 year old set, and the symptom of bleeding color, more than likely the TUBE is shot. Bleeding can be caused by other things, but in this case it is probably the tube. Given the fact that also there is buzzing sound that needs to be fixed I think it is probably time to toss the TV. Sorry for the bad news.
Thanks for the tip. The TV sound buzzes loud when a color dominates the screen only on a few channels. After reading many posts, I can say that the red doesn't "bleed". The colors and text become fuzzy. After the dominate colors nor text dissapear the picture and sound are normal. Also, when I have my cable run through my DVD recorder then to my TV, the picture adjusts. The picture gets much better and the buzzing is lowered. I was wondering if there is an adjustment in my TV or maybe a part replacement to fix this, since my DVD recorder is somehow adjusting it internally.
That's called "picture in sound". It indicates a possible problem in the electronics.
Very possible, but it will cost you to find out.
sound-on-vision: you will need to check the tuner and IF sections and chances are you have bad electrolytic caps in the vicinity of the line transformer or wherever the power rails come from.
