I have now got my 28 widescreen Toshiba with DD. The picture is brilliant, even swmbo is impressed. Bought from Costco, we only just managed to get the thing in the Ibiza by bashing the box a bit. Worse still, it would not go through the door into the house, so we had to (the temp was -5°C) unpack it on the drive and even then it only just fitted through the door. I am intending buying a dvd player from Scan to make use of the Dolby Digital, but until then I will link my PC dvd to the tv using phono and scart.
 
The question is I am using phono out from the Matrox for video and from the soundcard for the sound left and right. What effect if any will commoning the grounds have
i.e. connecting scart
pin 4 audio out
pin 17 video ground and
pin 21 common ground together
 
If I common the grounds I can route audio and video in plus audio and video out in a single cat 5 cable and if required the pin 8 function switching.
 
Any advice gratefully received.
 
thanks
Campbell
 
PS when I mentioned epods to swmbo she laughed and told me to look on the money tree for any growth. :-( Ah well I 'll just have to listen with envy.
