Re: [OT] - Scart + TosLink automatic / ir controlled switch ? - thanks

["alanmiddleton74" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The unit arrived yesturday and they weren't joking when they said it=20
was a well built case, the TV stands on it without any problems, I=20
think I could if I wanted to.

The switching doesn't seem to degrade quality (to my eyes) except for=20
a 1 second scrambled screen when the av switches. Had some problems=20
using a component lead output and scart input, but scart -> scart=20
throughout seems fine. As per usual I'm short on leads but the=20
toslink and scart switching for the two units I've wired up seems=20
fine.

The remote can be learnt by a pronto neo with the knack being to use=20
a 1 second button push then 2 seconds etc as opposed to the usual=20
hold down the key and move the remote backwards and forwards until it=20
learns.

So all in all a good buy from play that I'd recommend to anyone with=20
similar requirements. Thanks to Dave for pointing me in the right=20
direction.

Kind Regards,

Alan.
