I recently bought an inexpensive Magnavox TV. After two months of use,
the sound has begun to misbehave -- it somtimes fluctuates erratically
in volume. Is this something that I could get fixed under the Circuit
City warranty? Thanks for your consideration.

You might find something at the sci.electronics.repair faq.

Say no to fixed width tables. They look terrible in all browsers.

You should bring it back for warrenty service. They will normaly give
you a new set, if it is complated or expensige for them to service.

It is impossible to guess at what the cause is, without properly
diagnosing the proglem.

You bet. It's a real fault.

I believe that I have found the actual basis for the problem -- a loose
antenna connection. The connector on the TV is the screw-on type, not
the plug in type (forgive my ignorance of the terminology), and
therefore not entirely compatible with my antenna cable. Although I had
taped the cable in place, I think that it had drifted enough so that
the connection was imperfect. I positioned it more securely, and I have
not had any volume fluctuations (for the time being), so I'll look for
the appropriate adaptor. Does this explanation seem reasonable? Thanks.

A push on connector will work fine on that connector. But sometimes the
contact is poor, and moving it clears up the problem.

As it turns out, according to a Radio Shack salesman, no adaptor exists
for this combination of connectors. Apparently the use of cable TV is
considered commonplace, and antenna use exotic.

Do you believe anything Radio Shack tells you other than "Yes, we're
open?"

They do have answers, 99% wrong, but they are answers.

When you say "Screw on" do you mean two ordinary screws? For 300 ohm twin
cable?
