Panasonic TXL32E5B - SCART Switching
I have a hard disk video recorder connected to AV1 using the SCART adaptor lead. When the recorder wakes up to record a programme, the TV auto-switches to that input. I remember this behaviour from my earlier TV but it's not what I want now. Can I turn off auto-switching on this input?

Probably. It's likely to be a function in the recorder that needs to be changed. Check your manual.

The 'solution' is to cut pin 8 off the SCART lead, which then requires manual selection to watch the recorder. Or buy a make that can design a recorder properly!. |

It's most likely a Humax recorder?, Humax don't have the slightest clue how SCART is supposed to work, which is why theirs works in such a stupid way, which can't be disabled.

Doesn't pin 8 also control the widescreen switching?
its about +ve 6 volts sets the TV to normal 16 : 9 and about +ve 12 volts sets the TV to the 4 : 3 picture format zero voltage should allow the TV to go back to the previous source but some odd designed TV's stick on AV and have to be forced back to TV from the remote |

![]() There's also WS switching on the teletext lines, so assuming the box and TV both do that it will still switch fine. I notice the OP hasn't been back, so we're only assuming it's a Humax box - the only boxes I've seen which implement SCART incorrectly. |

Thanks for the responses. Quote:
My first LCD TV is less than a week old and I love the picture. It also enables me to connect what I want. However, there are a few (minor) issues that I'd like to clear up.
2) SCART auto-switching a) Topfield TF5800 recorder (Toppy) I've checked the Toppy manual, but will now check the Toppy forum. |
