Do these have the early versions of the Gemstar 4 module? If so
certain codes certain tv stations send out turns off the audio, tv has
to be unplugged to fix. There has been a class action lawsuit against
Thomson over this one.

That chassis also will turn off the audio outputs if it sees any kind
of dc detect on the speaker line. Make sure it is not borderline.

Plus the myriad of problems on the clock and data can cause this
symptom. Especially conductive glue under certain surface mount
components on the clock and data lines.

This type of problem almost guarantees the need for a 4 channel or
more digital storage oscilloscope. Thomson's ctc195 and later
chassis' was the reason we had to upgrade our equipment.

This is true, also make sure the mute circuit isn't prematurely muting
audio.

How do I determine if this is the problem? I have yet to see either
set act up.
