Page 1 of Audio signal from VCR / cable box to 5.1 system

Hello,

I am trying to get audio signals from my VCR and the telewest cable box to my 5.1 speakers, but neither box have audio-out sockets - only scarts. The pace box is daisy-chained through the vcr to tv using these.

I`ve connected the tv audio-out to the 5.1 controller, but the audio-out doesn`t switch to the relevant scart, and only outputs the terrestrial tuner sound, whatever is on screen.

Is there a cunning way round this problem (preferably without buying a better tv!)...

thanks

Fergus

Should be, and this may have to be done whilst the TV displays terrestrial (not AV, cos mine does!!)

Anyway, into the TV menu, into AV Setup or AV out or similar, and check the AV out is set to the AV channel you want to use (ie: AV1), as it`s probably sitting at "TV" at the moment.

Failing that, dunno what to suggest, this is the first time I`ve heard of audio outs only running audio from the tuner and not whatever is being displayed!

Jimbo : oÞ

Thanks I`ll try that tonight - otherwise I shall get one of those Argos scart switchers and take the audio out from there instead.
