Today I installed a new Toshiba TV in the kitchen (19DV616DB to be precise) and am getting odd audio behaviour from it.
It has a veritable armada of connections on the back, but the only two I can use to get audio to an external amplifier are 3.5mm (headphone) jack-to-RCA or SCART-to-RCA. I chose not to use the headphone jack because it makes it a nuisance to watch telly without the amplifier being mandatorily used for audio and it also means TV volume dictates amplifier input level.
This left me with SCART-to-RCA, which is fine as I have a SCART socket with RCA jacks (yellow, white, red RCA) grafted on to its case.
What is odd is that Freeview correctly plays back through the external amp but the built-in DVD player only plays back through the TV's speakers.
Reading
SCART - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia makes me believe that with respect to audio output it doesn't matter whether I am using a 10 or 21 pin SCART connection; it will always be pin 1 (Audio output - right) and pin 3 (audio output - left).
Since the manual makes no mention of a "audio switching" feature and I can't find one in any of the menus this makes me conclude that the unit either has a fault or it's designed this way. If so, it's going back from whence it came.
Has anyone reading this post come across a similar situation, please?
