Re-Activating TV Scart

[gramps2878]

Hi there

Apologies for the forwardness but im well and truly stumped.
I had my V+ box connected to my HD LCD tv recently via the HDMI which was great until the tv went pop. Now its in for repair and im back to the old CRT tv using the scart connection. The only problem is i cant get anything at all via the TV scart which i believe gets deactivated when the HDMI's enabled and i can only get picture and sound through the VCR scart which i believe is because thats mainly used for backup/ archinving.
Does anyone know how to re-activate the TV scart?
You'll be saving a good man from a fate worse than death.... my missus in a foul mood!

Thanks in advance.

The answer to your question is: (from http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/10...855-v-faq.html)

Q: I've set my V+ output to HD, but I don't have an HDTV and now I can't see any pictures
A: (Scientific-Atlanta) Hold in the Stop and Play/Pause buttons on the front panel, and press Reset. Keep Stop and Play/Pause held in until the display says 'boot'. After a few seconds the display should say 'outpt'. Press the Fast Forward button several times until the display says 'Sd', then press OK. Wait for the V+ to reboot then you should be back in SCART mode.

You can also use this method to switch the V+ into HD mode - either select "Hdrni" (HDMI) or "YPbPr" (component) before you press OK. And if you use the Rewind button, you can switch between 720p and 1080i

(Samsung) Temporarily plug the TV into the 'VCR' SCART socket on the back of the V+. You will then be able to see the menus so you can switch back to SCART mode. Don't forget to move the SCART lead back to the 'TV' socket when you've finished.
