Hi, the problem is that the UK, (including Ireland) uses the PAL I standard where the sound is 6 MHZ away from the video carrier.
Most of mainland europe uses the PAL B/G standard where the sound is 5.5 Mhz from the picture. Is there an option in the TV's setup menu,
See this webste for more info on tv standards.
