rotatox Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Hey guys, I bought this tv a couple of weeks ago from harvey norman for $2000 which im very happy with. Problem is it has shocking factory speakers so i now use my home theatre speakers all the time for tv (foxtel). Now this tv doesnt have an audio output so im forced to run foxtel through the amp then to tv. It means that when i turn off tv the audio is still coming out of speakers!!...so ive got to turn tv and amp on to watch tv and vice versa to turn it off..,VERY ANNOYING Am i missing something coz i thought audio output was a common thing to have on tv's??? my old philips 68cm crt tv which i replaced with this had it and it was 8 yrs old Also i bought some component cables for foxtel, the picture was worse than the standard rca plugs? i set foxtel to YUV etc as informend by domayne staff, but it didnt help it one bit. THey cost $170 which i was refunded, but i dont know why this was, anyone know why? I hope i made these problems understandable to you all, im typing as im thinking so i hope it makes sense lol Frank

All the plugs seem to be all inputs except the headphone jack, thats the only output i can see. here are all the connections HDMI 2 HDMI 1 DVI (AUDIO IN) CVI-2 / VGA AUDIO IN AV IN CVI 1 And on the side of the tv s-video and av in plus headphone jack not looking good hey BTW model number is 42pf7421 if thats any help cheers

BAD LUCK!!
rotatox Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 OK. 9631D has the outputs I mentioned. BAD LUCK!! Damn! do you think the headphone jack will do 5.1 etc ok through amp?
nis200979 Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Damn! do you think the headphone jack will do 5.1 etc ok through amp? No, it's ONLY headphone out, and thus amplified, not a line out. Mate, I just downloaded the manual from philips.com.au and I'd be putting the lcd on ebay and buying a replacement tv. The tv is pathetic in regards to inputs/outputs. Hope you got a good price, as it's quite an old model. The new model 32PF9631D can be had for around $1700 with a digital tuner, coaxial (digital) out, twin HDMI, and so on. Otherwise, maybe use piggy back cables to send audio to tv and amp.
rotatox Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 Thanks for the info yeah i know it was a base model tv we were originally going to get the pana 42 for 1600 and saw this for 2000 im happy with picture just the connections as you have mentioned. im not quite sure what you mean by piggy back?

Cables that let you plug one device into to inputs, kmart to Hn have them.
