Page 1 of Blank screen problem with Philips 711....Help!

I have recently bought my first DVD player A Philips 711 and am generally very pleased with it. However I have encountered a couple of problems. The first is that I could not get my video to work with the DVD player plugged in. I have tried connecting the Video (using SCART) into the DVD and then connecting this to the first of the SCART inputs on my TV. At first the DVD worked fine but the video would only play via the co-ax. Then things got worse, Now with the DVD connected the TV screen goes black with a faint outline of the picture, (when the DVD is on stand by) but it will still play the DVD`s no problem.
I then connected the Video to SCART 1 on the TV and DVD to SCART 2, but then the DVD picture is poor as there is interference from the TV picture. So at the moment I have the video permanently connected and the DVD only connected when needed.
The TV is a 6 year old Panasonic 4:3 Not sure on the model number and the Video is same age Panasonic also unsure of model number. (I should be getting widescreen soon if the wife allows me!!!)
Is this a problem with the DVD player?

The is a low power option on the 711, if this is switched on the 711 will not pass the SCART connection through.

Try checking this.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the info....I`ve checked the manual and cannot find this feature....Could you give any further details plaese.
Thanks, Mark

The first menu (personal Preferences) 4th option. I tried turing the low power option on and when it was on the video being fed into SCART I was not passed throught to SCART II.

I hope that this helps.
