Based on what you have tried if a buzz or loud static via the speakers you have something wrong in the audio output circuit of the set--problem here is that circuit may be part of the Main board that processes all signal---a look inside---following the speaker leads back would lead you to that board.

A simple thing to do to narrow it a little (you may have done this) is with sound all the way off put your ear to the internal speaker--hear anything at all like a deep hum?

Depending on age of set and cost of the board likely bad it may or may not be a do it yourself repair.

SOURCE: connection for tv cable to hitachi 42" plasma Tv

there is no cable slot. the monitor is not a receiver. it has no tuner in it. it will need a signal from a tuner box. and that must be fed to the tv with an hdmi cable or a dvid cable for hd to work. see your manual for further information on cables. see your cable supplier for information on hd boxes available in your area. if you do not buy hd service, you will not get an hd signal. so you will see little difference from a non hd device. your dvd player may have hd capabilities, but will also need the same cable to deliver true hd signal.
the good news is that its fixable by using the right equipment.
good luck

Sounds like a bad component on the video board. These days, TV techs just swap out boards for whole new ones.

Y Component Cable Related - Internal Static Noise

It sounds like one of those cables has a defective ground. The static noise you are experiencing is cause by the cables not inside the TV. Try using different cables to isolate the problem and get new ones.
Good Luck.

I have my Hitachi 42HDT79 42 in. Plasma Television on my wall and I have no voice, just a loud squeeing noice. It doesn't matter what volume its on.

It of course may be a audio problem in the set (main board) but is a box or anything external being used for sound on the set? Same problem with a DVD etc the only thing connected to the set?

I have a 2006 Hitachi Ultravision 42 inch plasma

plasma tv units use a lot of power ,well into the hundreds of watts 9 some big screens use up to 800 watts to work)
I suggest that you consider a new led unit which uses barely any power and you will get a remote with it

Sound will go to loud static noise, but picture is fine

it sounds like you need someone to look at it for you so fix it under warrenty if you can. Maybe buy a set top box and source your sound from there. also buy 5.1 surround (if you like as its a excuse to upgrade) for your speakers.
