Mitsubishi 57-734 Sound quality?

We bought a new Mitsubishi 57-734 a month ago today. The picture is
awesome, we were so impressed with the 73" 73-732 we purchased back in
May that we got this one for another room. The only thing that I am
concerned with is the sound quality. We are using the factory speakers
and it is tinny & shreiky sounding at high pitches! We've tried
fiddling with the sound on the TV (treble, bass, stereo options, etc)
and cannot seem to make it disappear. We have it hooked up via HDMI
cable to one of the new DirectTV HD DVR boxes, we also have a DVD
player hooked up with component cables and get the same problem. We've
been in contact with the purchasing dealer, Mitsubishi & a couple
local repair shops. Today we get a call from one the of the repair
shops saying Mitsubishi says it's a "normal" issue with the TV due to
the size of the speakers and that they are "pointed down". The tech
said he would come out anyway to take a listen. Anyone else having
these same problems? Any suggestions? Anyone want a brand new Mits
57-734 for $1500?? LOL!!

Oh, and we had the 73-732 hooked up the same way (HDMI cord to DirecTv
HD DVR, etc) for 2 months while we shopped for a new receiver. We
actually made the comment on how nice the factory speakers sounded!

I have the Mits 65732. I rarely use the tv speakers for the
reasons that you mention, they just don't sound very good!

I have all of my devices piped through the digital inputs on my receiver. I
don't believe I have ever used the internal speakers for any of the HD sets
I've had over the years (currently a Mits 73-727 and a 50" plasma).

A second inexpensive receiver with some middle of the road small speakers
may be the way to go........

Well, the tech guy came today and said what we could have predicted.
He said it was "normal". Everything else about that TV is phenomenal,
so I guess we will try to figure out an alternative for sound. We
don't have the room hard-wired, so I was looking at the Bose Cine Mate
system..but it gets mixed reviews. We actually have a couple-year old
Yamaha receiver we aren't using plus a set of bookshelf Bose speakers,
maybe we'll try that too!

Very good choose. Always nice if you can get some extra mileage from a
older but good product.

The Yamaha will likely work fine for you for many years.
I would suggest you dump the Bose idea and fine a local
dealer that sells decent mid level models a give them a listen.
