My new LG is giving off an occasional popping noise - it has only happened a few times but I was wondering what causes this and is there a quick cure? Thanks!

Not really sure - it is a static sounding popping noise that is intermittent - maybe two or three times an evening..sometimes switching the TV from stereo mode to mono.
Pat45, does this only happen when you watch TV, or does this happen when you play other sources like VHS, DVD, game console, etc? Does switching from stereo to mono solve the problem?
How do you receive your television signals? Is it through cable or satellite? If you have cable, do you watch through a cable box or just analog cable through the TV's tuner?
Possibly. Many cable boxes have a built in volume control, as well as many different so-called "enhancements". I'd take a trip throught the menu of your cable box. In the audio section, make sure that all "enhancements" are disabled. Select plain old stereo only. Anything like "matrix" or "dialogue" etc. should be avoided.
Also, the volume control on the cable box should be at an optimum level. If it's a Motorola HD-DVR unit, I think there is a bypass for adjustable audio in the menu. If you can provide the brand and model, I could probably give more specific instructions.

Is the popping noise inside the TV itself, or from the speaker as part of the audio of a program?

As far as I can tell - just pops in the tv mode.
When it pops - it switches the tv from stereo to mono mode.

Cable box - an HDTV DVR connected to the TV - could the problem be with the cable box?
