Hi guys, I got given a Philips 42PFP5532D/05 and trying to save it from the skip!
Reported fault was 'no sound', but when I got to powering it up today the picture was great and, in fact, sounds works, but it's very muddy/mushy especially at lower volumes.
I've tried messing with the sound menu equaliser settings, changing sound menu options, ie normal, cimena, personal, etc, but to nothing changes this sort of distorted 'muddy' sound from the speakers.
If anything, it's a bit less mushy when turned up to higher volume. It sounds a little like blown speakers, but I couldn't say this is the root cause.
Have had a look inside and seen two caps on the power board looking 'high-domed' and a bit weepy - one 3300uf and one 100uf - but I wouldn't think the power board would affect the sound?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Ken.
