Question
How can I improve the sound quality of my TV?
Answer
In order to improve the sound quality, make sure that you observe the following guidelines:
- Check the quality of the incoming signal on the TV with a different source like DVD or VCR.
- Splitting the signal will make it considerably weaker. If you use an antenna cable splitter: connect the antenna directly to the TV without the splitter.
- Check your cables and cable-connections.
- Make all your cables as short as possible.
- Use high quality antenna cable.
- Connect the plugs well into their sockets.
Check whether the sound quality has improved. If not:
