Panasonic PT-47WX53 47 in. HDTV CRT TV

Here is the deal.... Great picture, bad sound. We bought this TV in October of 2003 and were immediately impressed by it's beautiful, life-like picture. It is easy to set up and use. However, after about six months we noticed that the sound would go wacky from time to time and you had to change the channel to get it back to normal. At first we thought it was something with the cable provider but soon ruled that out. To define "wacky" it sounded as if only the tweeter portion (the "highs" or "treble") was broadcasting all of the sound emanating from a program. So, Panasonic replaced the entire soundboard and speakers and sent it back to us. Same thing. So, after doing some tinkering with the setup portion we figured out that something called "A1" sound, which we had turned "on", was to blame. In short, it still messes up once in awhile but not as often and it rectifies itself without having to change channels. All in all we are still happy with it but you should be aware that this could be an issue if you buy it.
