Vizio 42" LCD HDTV - sound went out

Do headphones work?
my guess is either the headphone socket or associated wiring/soldering is faulty or there is a faulty connector within (connector associated with the audio)

Hello

You have several options for connecting your DVD player to your GV42L FHDTV10A - HDMI,

Component, S-Video and Composite (AV) inputs. Based on your home theater configuration, you can
decide which option is the right one for you.
connected to the HDMI input of the VIZIO GV42L FHDTV10A for optimal results.

To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable available up to 10 meters or less.

1. Turn off the power to the LCD HDTV and DVD player.

2. Connect a HDMI cable to the HDMI output of your DVD player and the other end to the HDMI

Input (white color area) at the rear of the LCD HDTV.

3. Turn on the power to the LCD HDTV and your DVD player.

4. Select HDMI using the INPUT button on the remote or side of the LCD HDTV, or directly by
pressing the HDMI button on the Remote Control.

a) If you are already using the HDMI 1 input for another component, or you do not want to use

the HDMI 1 input for the DVD player, you can connect the DVD player to the HDMI 2

connection.

b) Refer to your DVD player user manual for more information about the video output
requirements of the product.
OK

I can see good video, but I hear no audio with my XWH200 adapters?

While most HDMI sources work with good audio and video, we have a compatibility issue with audio from a few specific products (eg, DirecTV HD DVR satellite set-top box, DISH Networks satellite set-top-box, and TiVo Premiere XL cable set-top-box). If you are experiencing problems with no audio or muted audio with one of your HDMI sources, then please try changing the audio settings on your problematic HDMI source to PCM or LPCM. Then turn off the TV, remote power from the WirelessHD adapters, and power off the HDMI source. Now power everything back on. If you are still experiencing no audio then please write down the model number of your HDMI source with no audio and contact VIZIO customer support.

After 3 years, more likely to have power supply problem just like the rest of all the LCD TV and LCD monitors out there.

power supply blew you need a new one

This problem happen to all the HDMI inputs?Only one HDMI input,that one properally is shorted.Might even the HDMI cable is old,and worn out.U have about 6 HDMI inputs on ur tv,rent about 3 DVDs movies and watches test out all ur HDMI ports out.

you can eithor get the board from shopjimmys.com or hook up surround sound system-and not use tv speakers

did you ever get it resolve? I am having the same problem. my tv is a year and and 1 week old. I am so upset.

your TV was overheat. check secondary power supply inside chasis. check all the components specially thus budged capacitos.

Press the TV button on the remote. You are confusing the Comp button with the Input button which allows you to switch between input ports.
