Hi guys, don't know if the previous post got through. Have a new LCD tv and DVDr, connected with a HDMI cable. when DVDr switched off analogue and digital picture is fine. as soon as dvd is switched on analogue goes blurred and digital signal is lost. when I disconnect hdmi and use scart it all works ok. The manual says HDMI will give me best results???? can you help please.

Make and model of TV would help.
Very odd TV with no SCART and only a single HDMI. You sure it's not a computer monitor?
If the TV really does not have any sort of analogue input you will either need to buy a disk player with HDMI or an analogue to digital converter (the former may well be cheaper!), And if there is only a single HDMI you can but switches to expand the number of HDMI inputs if necessary.

Refer to page 15 which states:
"Use a included SCART adapter cable to connect
between the TV's SCART input socket and a SCART
cable to an external AV device's SCART output socket."

Hi
High definition [HDMI] is a format used in tranmitting signals with cable connection. Transmissions are of analogue, and so the set will recogonize it and will chanve to it automatically when you connect the extrnal antenna. There is no way to chage an analogue signal to digital within the Tv itsef. It will display the signal as it is. Definition of analoge signals will be very less than [HDMI]. OK.

Hdmi is digital minded while your hi-fi is analogue signals, you have two possible options I think if your TV has no phono audio out.

Your scarts (number 1 only) will have analogue in's and out's a scart lead with audio in/out to phono (come with a switch mostly) or adaptor is required some I have seen at one time had a plug one end and socket the other with output phono's in the middle, so to monitor signals going each way (TV > VCR or VCR > TV).
If you are not using the scart then just a simple scart to phono will do, note scart sockets on an TV only one will give an output.

The other route is a converter for hdmi a device that will convert digital signals to analogue, while the video element can have problems (on cheap units) through poor design/technicals the audio should present no problem, look for hdmi to audio converters.

Hope this helps.........

You do not tune in your Bluray player but connect using an HDMI cable or Composite cable. If you have a HDMI cable connect the Bluray's HDMI out to the TV's HDMI in at the back and using the TV's remote switch the Input source to HDMI. You will see the image from the Bluray player in high definition.
If you don not have a HDMI cable connect the composite out of the Bluray player using the Yellow/Red/White cable to the TV's composite input ( same three color sockets ) and switch to AV input on the TV. Using this connection won't give you high definition image but will work OK.

have you try to change HDMI cable or connect to HDMI player or PC?.

Hi Martin,

A wiring Schematic is not that you should be looking. What you need is large feeders to understand hot to connect to various ports to give your desired output.

Samsung dvd sh-855 i have the same problem wiht freezes when recording on timer mode.Recording in timermode with TV on is OK. But only connected whit HDMI cable, Component is OK in all modes!!!
My recorder is a XXE model = scandinavian.
Do anyone have a solution Please

Hi,
I think the better task is (A)
You can try switch scart's!! Then try to record on DVDR or leave as it is and look out for picture on your VCR!!! If you do (B) you will lose a picture quality!
good luck

It won't work as the DAv can only output to HDMI by bringing singal into the HDMI input.

why wouldn't you send it directly to the TV and Audio to the DAV? I sounds like you don't have an HD box anyway (otherwise why would you use an analogue S-video cable vs component or HDMI). Unless there is a distance issue then go to the TV.
