Shot in the dark - 29" Sony TV

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I guess everyone with a DVD player has to have a TV so I guess I`ll ask anyway.

I have a 29" Sony (KV29X5) which has audio out on the back of the set in the form of stereo phonos. My problem is that the sound produced from this output is very slightly distorted at certain frequencies, but enough to irritate the hell out of me. Obviously for DVD I take the audio source direct from the player.

I`ve tried it hooked up to 3 different Amps (one of which an Arcam alpha 6) and numerous speakers (including a pair of Kef Q 15`s) so it is DEFINITELY the TV thats at fault. I`ve tried expensive phono leads and even tried coming out of the second SCART socket with a SCART to phono lead. This is the second set I`ve had, and they have both had the same fault.

Does anybody have this same TV and have the same problem, or does anyone have any ideas if anything else could be causing it?

Sorry for the off topic post, but everyone in this forum is just so helpful, so I thought no-one would mind : )
