Why is there no picture and sound on my Sony TV?

  David WhiteJul 30, 2025
  There could be several reasons why your Sony TV has no picture and sound. First, ensure the TV is not in standby mode and is properly plugged in. Check the aerial connection to make sure it's secure. It's also possible that the volume is muted, so press the + button on the remote control. If none of these solutions work, the TV speakers may be turned off, or the wrong external mode may be selected. If it is a scrambled/subscription-only channel you need to subscribe to pay-per-view broadcaster. In the unlikely event of a fault, do not attempt to open the TV; refer to qualified personnel.

  If your Sony TV displays a good picture but has no sound, first check the volume control and press the + button on the remote. Also, verify that headphones are not connected, as this will mute the TV speakers. If the volume is up and no headphones are connected, the TV speakers may be turned off.
