I just connected the red/white to my TV and sound bar and I get a lot of static... what could be wrong?

Do you hear static only and no sound from the tv? or a combination when watching a tv show. Some TV's the sound has to be turned off and listen only thru the sound bar or you may hear an echo. Make sure your red /white cables are not damaged. I have no problems with my sound bar of this kind.

Have you got a cable box hooked to your tv? If you do you have to run the sound bar through the cable box or you must disable tv's sound coming through the cable box. Hope this helps.

Do you have a cable box? If so try going from the cable box to the sound bar..

I just use a small stereo cable from the headphone out jack on the TV to the stereo in on the sound bar. This turn the speakers on the tv off & you control the sound with the sound bar remote. Turn the volume up on the TV all the way. The red white on the TV may be audio in not out, thus the static.

I had to purchase a simple MP3 extension for this to work. I then connected the single stereo plug to the AUDIO OUT on the back of the TV and the red/white plugs to the sound bar. Worked beautifully then. A very slight hum but nothing that one could even hear unless you put your ear right up to the bar.

I'm not sure but my suggestion to you is to try to find another sound bar cause the sound quality is not that good.

I went into tools and set it on amplify.That made the volume a little better. It seems the volume on all the HD tv's could use some improvement. So just play with the sound settings until you find one that is suitable. Otherwise you will probably need to invest in a soundbar. Hope this helps.

It might be sound output is too loud, or you might have problems with the energy that goes to the receiver. Try connecting it to another wall outlet or using a surge protector.

I know that if you have a plasma tv it will interefere with the sound and create static. I have one, but the static is minimal. Make sure there are no obstuctions in the way and you have a clear line of sight for the infrared sensor to stream a good signal. Also, I use the spdif (optical) cable instead of the white/red. Not sure if this makes a difference or not, but it may be worth a try. Hope it works!!!

I only had mine hooked up for a few minutes. The max volume was actually lower than the TVs max volume. Sent the thing right back.

I had that problem and it was because my tv volume was too low when I set it up. If you turn up your tv volume before you disable the tv speakers it should work. If the soundbar is ringing during silences your tv volume is too loud.

Make sure you have selected the right in-put on the sound bar. Is your connection analog or optical to the sound bar?

Try using a different HDMI cable, if that doesn't work try a factory reset. Test to see if it's the cable or the device by connecting with the included VGA cable - if the audio is still irregular then it's a bad speaker most likely.

I have the same problem but it's most likely the TV that's the issue. No matter what output I put it on it drops the signal while the other two tvs I have connected work completely fine

I have that same issue, I thought at first it was coming from the show I was watching but that wasn't the case. I'm debating on returning it for a replacement. The static can be quite annoying at times...

Make sure you are on the right component input. If that doesnt work then try it on another tv. It will let you know if the cable is bad or tv input is bad.

Exact same thing happened to me. I am in the process of shipping it out for repair. The unit is of terrible construction and the electronics flaked. I actually got a sub -woofer and wireless surround speakers for my TV which are 10 times better.

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out.

I had a similar issue, but moved the ground wire and reception is better. Occasionally get some static, but much better than before. Hope that helps.

Probably a connection issue with one of the components hooked to the TV (mine happened to be a Sony DVD player...) removed that and the hum went away. Gave me an excuse to get a progressive scan DVD player... hooked it up and still no noise. It took me a bit to narrow it down, since I've got so many console systems. ;)

I had the same problem but corrected it by unplugging the RCA jacks and then reinserting them firmly. It may have been that the jacks were not all the way into the socket. Hope this is helpful.
