dvd/tv speaker problem

15 years ago

I have a Sony DVD Player connected to a Sharp 27" CRT TV via composite audio cables (red and white) and an S Video cable. When I play DVD's, I right side speaker on my television either makes a hissing sound or doesn't have any sound coming out of it. I fiddle with the cables thinking there is a loose connection and when I do so, I intermittently get a hissing sound or no audio, so I just removed the red audio cable. I tried two different sets of a composite cables and still got the same result.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Borrow someone's working stereo amp and speakers. Plug the white and red wires audio cables from the DVD player into the stereao's AUX inputs. Leave the S-Video plugged into DVD player and TV. Play the DVD. If the audio is now fine, you have a CRT TV problem. If the audio is still crappy you either have a bad DVD player or still have bad audio cables.
Good Luck.
