Problems with new tv - Page 2

Sounds like you need to manually select the HDMI input on the TV. You might even need to enable it first. Check your TV manual.

If you really are stuck, see the last question in the FAQ.

The SCART auto-detect setting doesn't matter if you are using HDMI.

Phew!!!

Thanks Spiderplant

Yes you are right - we did need to select the HDMI on the TV ... once that was done it was fine so it had changed over earlier!!!!

I'll be back later because I want to change the volume control to the V+ control - I've tried all the Samsung settings - tried one I found here earlier somewhere but no luck so far.... so that is the next chore when I feel strong enough !!

Thanks very much for your help

I'll save you the bother - the V+ volume control doesn't work in HDMI mode.

Have you tried codes 0079 and 0145 for your Samsung?

FairyFairy · 21-03-2008, 15:39

Yay!!!!! Just came onto tell you !!!!

Just trawled through the posts and saw 0079 - and it changed the volume setting on the V+ remote.

Then I saw your post! So does that mean the control is working through the scart lead ??????

Now you've programmed it, the V+ remote is controlling your TV volume directly. The sound is still coming through the HDMI lead.

Glad you are sorted.

Thanks for your help, I've solved the problem. I had to leave the scart cable in as well as the new HDMI cable to change all the settings and then remove the scart cabel. All working now.

He sorted it out & edited his post before you posted the first time...

LOL Gep .... I DO like to try to sort it out myself (with all of your help, of course! Then we could do it at our own pace. I think I might have had a bit of a panic if I did with with 150 !!!

Now I wonder too ... is HDviewer still trying ???

Thanks again Spiderplant. Just off to have a drink to blot out the memory now ... then tomorrow I can just switch it on and enjoy it!!!!

WHY am I addicted to watching Gems TV ... do you have an answer for that ??? I am amazed that people are impulse buying JUST like that ... here it is ... 1 2 3 4 ... oh dear its gone!!!!!! ???????
