CAN ANYBODY HELP!!!
I HAVE A DVD PLAYER CONNCECTED TO MY TV AND DIGIBOX AND IT IS SET TO L2 WHICH WORKED FINE ON MY OLD TV. I HAVE CONNECTED A NEW TV AND WHENEVER I SWITCH TO SCART 2 ON THE TV I GET A PERFECT PICTURE BUT NO SOUND. I HAVE MADE SURE THAT THE SOUND IS NOT MUTED ON THE TV OR DIGI BOX AS THIS WAS THE PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ONE OF THE CABLES HAS DIED EVEN THOUGH I AM GETTING A PICTURE. I HAVE TRIED TO CHECK EVERYTHING BUT I AM BRAIN DEAD TRYING TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE EVEN THE PLAYSTATION WHICH I HAVE DISCONNECTED TO TEST IF THAT WAS INTERFEARING BUT STILL NO JOY. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE I WANTED TO RECORD SOMETHING ON SUNDAY AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE IF THERE IS NO SOUND. THE DVD PLAYER IS A JVC DR MH30S.
If you have another scart lead, try that first. Good Luck
WILL DO WHEN I CAN GET ONE. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT SOME OF PINS MIGHT BE CORRUPT OR LIKE ME ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO THINK LOGICALLY. WILL LET YOU KNOW IF IT WORKS OR NOT. THANKS.
Thanks! Yes please do as it may assist someone else in the same boat.
HI TO LARRY DILLON, I MANAGED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE SCART LEAD LEADING FROM THE TV TO THE DVD WAS LOOSE AND WOBBLING. I CHANGED THE LEAD AND MADE SURE IT WAS A TIGHT FIT AND HEY PRESTO I GOT SOUND. OBVIOUSLY THE LEAD HAD BECOME STRETCHED AND I NOTICED IT HAD A SQUASH MARK ON IT. I HAD CHECKED ALL THE LEADS PREVIOUSLY AND DID NOT NOTICE THIS UNTIL I UNPLUGGED IT. I REPLACED IT WITH A GOLD SCART LEAD WHICH IS A BETTER QUALITY AND A TIGHTER FIT.
IF YOU HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME I SUGGEST YOU CHECK THE OUTER SLEEVE OF THE SCART CABLE AND ALSO SEE IF THE METAL CLIP THAT HOLDS THE PINS IS A LITTLE DISTORTED AND LOOSE.
THANKS FOR THE HELP. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEBODY ELSE.
White Witch, thanks for the reply and Im sure it will.
