  Heather GonzalezAug 20, 2025
  If you're getting a good picture but no sound on your Insignia LCD TV, first, increase the volume and make sure that the sound is not muted. Also, check that headphones are not connected, as this will prevent sound from coming from the TV speakers. Ensure the correct audio mode is selected and the audio cables are connected correctly and securely to your TV. Finally, confirm that the antenna or cable TV is connected correctly and securely.

  If your Insignia LCD TV has no picture and no sound, start by pressing the power button on the TV or the remote control. Make sure that the Audio Only option is set to Off.

Why won't my Insignia LCD TV turn on (no power)?
- B
  bmillerAug 29, 2025
  If your Insignia LCD TV has no power, ensure that the power cord is correctly connected to both the TV and a power outlet. Try unplugging the power cord, waiting 60 seconds, then plugging it back in and turning on your TV. Other devices may be interfering with your TV. Try turning off one device at a time to determine which device is causing interference and, after you have determined which device is causing interference, move it further from the TV to eliminate the interference.

Why is the picture quality on my Insignia LCD TV good on some channels but poor on others?
- J
  Joshua SanchezSep 6, 2025
  The problem may be caused by a poor or weak signal from the broadcaster or cable TV provider. If you connect to cable or satellite TV without a set-top box and experience poor picture quality, you may need to install a set-top box to improve signal reception and picture quality. Contact your cable or satellite TV provider about upgrading to a set-top box.
