Jensen TV Sound

We have a Jensen 26" LCD TV in our new to us 2010 Four Winds Class C. Picture is just fine; sound not so good. Sounds "gravelly" and fuzzy. We followed Jensen instructions to reboot, with nominal improvement. We will be putting on a Jack antenna with hope for improvement.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I agree with this. There are plenty of decent external speakers that won't break the bank. Or buy a small sound bar. Even with decent brand TVs people complain about poor speaker sound.

    Its Jensen. You will be replacing it at some point though.

  • Didn't really like the sound on our Tv in the bedroom. Got a cheap computer powered speaker set and plugged it in the ear phone jack. I was surprised how much better it sounds, even better than the living room tv. . Price FREE. There a a gazzilon of those speaker sets laying around. No sense of scrapping a tv cause of the sound when you can fix it for free. Unless ya got money to burn.
  • Had same problem. Replaced speaker with one of there own. Ended up junking the Jensen. Replaced the TV with a Visio for about $300.0. That Jensen runs about $1000.0 what a piece junk. replace rear Jensen also.
  • Take the Jensen out, put a FREE sign on it, and buy something decent. Rebooting a TV? Never heard of it.
