See if this might be it: CHASSIS: D7 E8 F8 G7 SYMPTOM: The menu will not switch from mono to stereo. CAUSE: The menu will not switch to stereo unless the TV is on a stereo channel. Stereo is indicated in the top right corner of the screen. If switched to mono on a stereo channel the menu will remain in mono always. If switched to stereo on a stereo channel it will auto switch back and forth as the channel indicates. SWITCHING TEST: If there is no stereo signal or no signal at all the switching may be tested and set to stereo (when available) by selecting EXT input (AV in). Select stereo and the set will switch to stereo mode and will indicate in the menu. It will now switch to stereo on a stereo station.
