Trouble with Home Theater installation

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I recently purchased a 6-speaker "out of the box" Yamaha home theater
system. I have been installing it today. In addition to the receiver,
I have a VCR, DVD Player, and digital cable box. When I first turned
it on, the TV worked fine, the audio was transmitting throught the
speakers. But, when I placed a DVD in the DVD player, the audio
automatically changed to the audio from the DVD, even though the
receiver input was still set to "TV". Whether I have the input on the
receiver set to DVD or TV, I get the audio from the DVD. When I
remove the DVD, the audio automatically switches back to the TV audio.
Help..?

(a) So take the DVD out :-)

(b) Read the manual?

You have connected with a FULL 21 pin "Euro-scart" interconnect!
One of these 21 pins (I forget which one) will send the instruction to
the receiving scart input on your receiver and/or TV, and it will auto
switch to the DVD player/21 pin command!!!!

If you change your connections to S-Video and R/L line out/in, the
"problem" will be resolved.
