Silent DVD player
Morning all,
I wondered if anyone can help me, I may be missing something obvious but it starting to hack me off.
ok, so my Tv (thomson) has 2 scart sockets ,av1 and av2. av1 is hooked upto sky+ and av2 is directly linked to my dvd player.
problem occurs when i try and play a dvd. the picture is fine but as you might have guessed from the title there is no sound... nothing nada etc.
I've looked at the tv menu for anything obvious and found nothing. I've tried with sky+ off (as its set to turn telly on when it comes on) and nothing.
I tried another dvd player from a different room and the same thing. no sound.
anyone got any ideas?
thanks for anyhelp offered.
M

Re: Silent DVD player
Are you sure that both AV scarts are inputs? Sometimes you get 1 input and 1 output scart on a telly. Have you tried with just the DVD connected to scart1?
What model tv is it?

Re: Silent DVD player
Check the scart lead is firmly inserted on your TV

Re: Silent DVD player
Sure it's not a slient movie??? 
Seriously check the scart lead, also, some dvd players have their own volume control, as I discovered the other day, when I was getting no sound on my in-laws player - and the volume control on the dvd remote, sorted that out, but the tv one had no effect...

Re: Silent DVD player
You could try:
1) the DVD into AV1
2) the Sky+ into AV2
3) swap the cables
After all that you will know exactly which bit doesn't work.

Re: Silent DVD player
I've seen similar silent av inputs when the TV Scart socket is a dual SVideo/Scart input. Do you have the option to select/deselect SVideo input on that AV port? Or is that AV port set to recieve optical audio?

Thank you. that looks like the best course of action to start with.
I'm at work at the moment so i don't have access to model number and any other details about tv / sockets. I assumed that both scarts were inputs but its quite possible that they're not i guess.
I'll have a play tonight and post how i get on.
cheers.
