LCD TV Audio on scart

A little advice please.....

I have a Sony infrared headphone set that I can connect to the scart input of the TV. Now, I have this connected and when I am watching the TV (RF Input), I can hear the audio through the headphones.

The TV has a built-in DVD player (yes, it's one of these cheapy combi ones!) so when I watch the DVD input through the TV I can hear the DVD audio through the TV speakers themselves, however I still get the audio from the RF Input.

I cannot get the audio output through the scart socket (pins 1 and 3 I believe) to be sourced from the DVD, or whichever input I am watching.

Is it commonplace in TVs to not switch the audio output on these pins depending on which input is selected on the TV?

Unfortunately there is no headphone socket and I bought the combi DVD/TV because space is at a premium and I cannot really get a standalone DVD player to fit where I want it.

Hope somebody can either help or maybe just say that this is, or is not, the norm for operation of the audio on the TV scart i.e. non-switching.

Regards
Kevin

It's fairly normal - if there's more than one SCART try them all, another might provide the sound as coming out the TV speakers. Also check the TV menus, there may be an option to set the SCART output differently - but this is less likely on a cheap TV.

Thanks.
Just as I thought.
Only one scart input too - never mind. Think it might go back to the supplier.
The TV doesn't even have a headphone socket whcih would do the trick if I bought a wireless headphone kit for it.
