New to this group, just going to include a quote from my sister who wanted me to post it on usenet:
"... could you see if anybody else with a Toshiba CF27D50 has the same problem ...=A0 it runs for a while and then the sound goes off ...=A0 and what the disposition of the prob was?"
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Tel her to take it to a tech. the audio circuits will need troubleshooting; not the sort of thing you can just turn your hand to; but a tech ought to be able to diagnose and solve this relatively quickly.
sound goes off ...
??? Could this be related to my problem, with a Toshiba 26AF45L ! "It runs for a while and then a "blank Text Message box appears"!! over the Video image. I can clear it by toggling the Text/Caption button on the Remote Controller. I suspect toggling the "Mute " button will clear up the sound problem !!! The Salesman where I purchased this set mentioned that a few other customers had the same problem with this particular Model (Saskatoon)
Happens most often on a NBC network program, Channel 115 on my Cable Network ! (Shaw Cable). I suspect it has something to do with the "Blanking Interval Signal".
I called Toshiba Customer Service and got the usual runaround, so I suspect its something they are just getting a handle on !
It has to be a software problem because I can clear it by toggling the "Text/Caption" button. The only Hardware solution would be to change the "Mother-Board" to change a PROM and since "Toshiba" does not have a Service Bulletin on this, they have not solved the problem!
I guess Punching up the Mute button on the Remote Control, or not watching NBC? is a Partial fix. Gee I wonder if NBC might have the answer to this problem. In which case complaining to the FCC might actually force them to modify their SIGNAL !! Fat Chance !! The one thing that Bill Gates does well is bring Industry Wide Standards to software problems like this.
