Sound... Is this unit suppose to sound "echoish"?? I can't seem to adjust the sound...any suggestions?

Anyone who is concerned with quality audio should be using an external amplifier and speakers with ANY LCD TV. I haven't found one yet that impressed me.

The sound does not echo but I can't change the remote to stereo. Any suggestions.

same here. Set up tonight. This background noise is annoying. Like nails on a chalk board. Sending it back. Hoping for better replacement. Shame...it looks good for my small home office (in a spare bedroom). I don''t need fancy, but I don't need this headache that this tv is giving me.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.

After playing with it over the weekend, we've given up and are returning the TV. Tried hooking speakers up through the headphone jack, but quality was still poor and you cannot control with the TV remote. The picture quality was fantastic, It's a shame they didn't apply the same high standards to the sound.

I just recieved the TV and after connecting it, I immediately noticed a high pitched back ground noise that is always present. It varies in pitch and modulation and seems louder on digital channels than analog channels but it is very evident on both. Is there any adjustments to be made or should I just return it?

Well, I got in a replacement from Amazon thinking it might just be a defective TV but no such luck. Going to keep it as in the bedroom and just reduced treble and increased the bass and sounds okay but too bad Haier spent $2.00 on speakers as otherwise a very nice set. Picture is great so will live with tinny sound.

Change sound settings to turn off equalizer and adjust the bass (up) and the treble(down)...helps a little

I returned it. The second identical TV that I ordered at the same time does not have the problem so I hope that the replacement being shipped to me is also okay. Thanks for letting me know that someone else has the same issue. Herberto

There is an adjustment for volume in the speaker function. Just push the speaker function and adjust the volume using the up and down arrows.

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.

Get a refund. Even if you get it to work the sound quality will be terrible. If you have an aux input I would suggest the Harmon Kordon BTA-10.

If the volume is not like a standard radio where you can turn it up and be able to comfortably listen to it in another room then I think there is something wrong with the one you bought. I have plenty of volume, with the volume control set a #5 I can hear the radio in every room of our house. If by chance you have external speakers plugged into the line out jack, then you need amplified speakers. the line out jack is an un-amplified output. If you are using the actual radio speaker and there is a fuzzy-ness especially with the bass turned up possiblely the speaker has a crack in it and that would affect the amount of volume.

Be aware of where your speakers are placed, the're not very big. They're pointed toward your body, not your ears. My speakers do not sound like a bose system but with the. Volume turned up all the way, even tho a little tinny, easily heard all over the room. Perhaps an earphone would help.

Agree with others--probably just need to adjust your receiver settings or check your sub. My receiver and sub sound great in my room and even outside for gatherings.

I own this unit, as you say it looks great but sound quality is not good, i am confortable with it as i can hear all my records and connect a dive through the aux input... Its sound quality is better than others speakers but im aware that it is not the best... Sometimes bass and low tones make the speakers vibrate, and as it doesn't has EQ the only way to fix this is lowering the volume untill its ok or lowering your device volume... This happens also while litsening LP's, CD'S , radio

I have an older one, and this newer one I just got. The newer is certainly louder but it is just a buzz - no clanking, which can't be normal. I agree about trying to adjust that screw. As I recall, I had it on as I adjusted it and could hear the sound change. Good luck.

I think the surround sound just makes all the background noise louder!!! I am trying so hard to figure out to just have the voices loud. So far I have found out that surround should be off and I play with the pop or flat settings and balance

I get pretty good reverb for the voice. I am not sure what echo voice is. I use this unit for my karaoke and I am using Reverb Hall number 1 located in the effects area. Sorry that I can not be more helpful.

Thank all for your responses. The unit is useless for me as I need to know the AVERAGE sound level over a period of time.

If you set it on the lower and middle settings there is little sound. When it's time for cleaning you get more noise. This is my third unit.

Hi. It´s probably defective,, but I always use the headphone or aux "out" to an extarnal speakers, the sound from the built in speakers is not good, so before you return it, maybe try that, I got myself 2,1 speakers from Logitech and they are amazing and they only cost like 100 $...

You know this system has been a pretty big pain for me. Sometimes it will work and then it just wont depending on what I have it hooked up to (TV, computer, etc.) I havent had that problem but I do know that you can go into the system through the TV and adjust the volume levels. You can also do a test to check all the speaker levels. Also try pressing "optical" on the remote.
