How to improve the sound quality of my Philips TV?
In order to improve the sound quality, make sure that you observe the following guidelines:
Check the quality of the incoming signal on the TV with a different Source like DVD or VCR
Splitting the signal will make it considerably weaker. If you use an antenna cable splitter: connect the antenna directly to the TV without the splitter.
Check your cables and cable-connections
Make all your cables as short as possible
Use high quality antenna cable
Connect the plugs well into their sockets
