Technical Support / Re: No Sound on TV
« Last post by Joel Ashley on February 10, 2026, 03:03:44 AM »Original equipment TV means you’d need a converter box to receive modern digital broadcasts. You may then be dealing with multiple volume controls, as I do on several of my old home TVs where conflict between the converter and TV causes a slight audio buzz. This week, finally, we are getting rid of the home bedroom TV that was the side speaker Sharp originally out of the coach, and its cantankerous converter box, in favor of a Sony smart TV. No more buzzing audio. The audio carrier is broadcast on a separate carrier wave from the video. If you are tossing in a satellite system and a DVD receiver/Bose unit for audio to transect, I’m not surprised there’s an issue.
It may be time to upgrade the TV to a digital smart one, ditching the converter as we did in our coach (both TVs) 10 years ago. As I recall it provided previously unavailable hookup options (HDMI?) as well as a far better picture, but we also upgraded the DVD changer as well for the same reasons. A professional may cost some bucks, but from our experience it was worth it, and they did a great job modifying cabinetry to the larger screen formats in the process.

On page 179 of the owner's manual it states that you have a Bose Lifestyle home theatre unit. Is that true? If so, it is not uncommon for the display on the front of the unit to go dim. It is also easy to accidently chose another input from the Bose remote. Did you change the batteries in the Bose remote recently? If the Dish receiver and sound system were operational and then you lost the sound only I would look there. Hope this helps. Blessings, Fred

If so, I have had problems getting sound out of HDMI on the Wally and using my original Sharp AQUOS TV and original HDMI cables. I would get video fine but no audio (and audio should just be automatic on HDMI). I've tried every setting I could find on the TV and just decided to use HDMI for video and the L/R RCA outputs for audio through Bose Lifestyle.
If you have Wally - try using your RCA L/R output of the Wally for audio and HDMI for Video.
Since then my original Aquos TV went belly-up and I replaced that with Samsung. I pulled new high quality HDMI cables thru when I replaced the TV. Wally HDMI audio works fine with new TV and sometimes i just use that with TV internal speakers selected. My Wally RCA outputs still go to my Bose Lifestyle system which of course needs to be ON and tuned to "TV" to get the Bose surround sound speakers. I also salvaged the side speakers on the original Sharp Aquos TV and wired those up with an audio amp with the AUX output of the Bose giving 12speakers + subwoofer.
A suggestion would be to label everything as you pull things apart as wiring can be really confusing with all the components in the entertainment system.

What type/brand of tv do you have. Is it a stand alone tv or does it have a built in vcr/blue ray? What type of connections are on the back HDMI, Coax, anything else? Was it wired up with a BOMB, box of many buttons? Is it a box or flat screen? I don't know what was originally put in your coach, not that any two are the same.
Congrats on hanging onto your coach since 2006. Hopefully with more info someone can provide more accurate info.

Access through the front with the generator out or from underneath. Access is not great either way.

« Last post by David T. Richelderfer on February 01, 2026, 08:35:09 PM »My two living room sides and one-of-two leveling systems are hydraulic. The hydraulic pump, motor, and oil reservoir tank are located just behind the entry steps, i.e., towards the generator, assuming you have a fore entry door.
