the vibration damping member is retained at the inner wall of the retaining member by only elastic compression, and
the vibration damping member is attached to each of the speaker via a vibration damping member attachment section which is attached to the vibration damping member through an opening in the retaining member substantially sealing the vibration damping member.
2. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing section for sealing the opening.
3. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining member has a plurality of protrusions protruding from the inner wall to an interior side.
4. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the speaker has a shape extended in one direction and the vibration damping member is attached to both the ends in the extended direction.
5. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the vibration damping member is attached to the vibration damping member attachment section by inserting an end of the vibration damping member attachment section into the vibration damping member.
6. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration damping member is formed of material having hardness defined in JIS standard (JIS-K6253) not exceeding 10 degrees.
7. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the vibration damping member has a cylindrical section, and the vibration damping member is attachable to the retaining member by rotating the vibration damping member in the direction circumferential to the retaining member.
8. A television receiver, comprising:
a cabinet;
a speaker, and
a speaker retaining mechanism for retaining the speaker at a predetermined position of the cabinet, the speaker retaining mechanism comprising:
a retaining member that is fixed to the cabinet and that has a hollow tubular space surrounded by an inner wall, and

the vibration damping member is retained at the inner wall of the retaining member by only elastic compression, and
the vibration damping member is attached to each end of the speaker via a vibration damping member the attachment section which is attached to the vibration damping member through an opening in the retaining member substantially sealing the vibration damping member.
9. The television receiver according to claim 8 , further comprising;
a back cover for covering the cabinet,
wherein the opening in the retaining member into which the vibration damping member is inserted is formed in a direction of the back cover,
the back cover having a sealing section for sealing the opening, and
the vibration damping member is arranged such that the vibration damping member contacts elastically with the inner wall of the retaining member and the sealing section.
10. A speaker retaining mechanism for retaining a speaker at a predetermined position of a cabinet, comprising:
a retaining member that is fixed to the cabinet and that has a hollow tubular space surrounded by an inner wall, and
a vibration damping member attached to both ends of the speaker,
wherein the vibration damping member is arranged in the hollow tubular space of the retaining member so that the vibration damping member contacts elastically with the inner wall of the retaining member, the vibration damping member having elasticity for securing the vibration damping member to the retaining member by only elastic compression, the vibration damping member being substantially sealed by the retaining member,
a periphery of the vibration damping member is surrounded by the retaining member, and
the vibration damping member is attached to each end of the speaker via a vibration damping member attachment section which is attached to the vibration damping member through an opening in the retaining member substantially sealing the vibration damping member.
11. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 10 , wherein the retaining member has a plurality of protrusions protruding from the inner wall to an interior side.
12. The speaker retaining mechanism according to claim 10 , wherein the vibration damping member has a cylindrical section.
