Jake Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 (I posted this on AVForums.com but nobody answered my post so I thought I'd give it a try here) I have a JVC LT-37DS6FJ 37" LCD (that I bought from Gamer on here) which is hooked up to a SkyPlus digibox via SCART cable and using only the TV's integrated speakers. The sound quality seems really poor when the menu setting for "3D Sound" is set to High or Low. It's OK if I set "3D Sound" to Mono or Off. When it's set to High or Low I can hardly hear people's voices. Music and other sounds seem ok though. Is this normal? Are the '3D Sound' settings just for when you are using additional speakers? Also, in the menu option for 'Sound', the top option is 'Stereo/I-II' but it doesn't allow me to change this. It's stuck with the slider bar on the left hand side and displaying O, so that means everything is in mono, right? Shouldn't I be getting stereo sound from a SkyPlus digital receiver? In the manual it says: Mode / Language (OO : Stereo / O : Mono / I:SUB1 / II : SUB2) but I don't really know what SUB1 or SUB2 means or why I can't select Stereo. Thanks for any help.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Highly unlikely, but i changed my scart cable and that improved my sound on my old TV. Also I noticed the scart cable i replaced it with was more bulky and had way more wires going to the pins. (At least its something cheap to rule out!)

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I'd use S-VHS cables if you can. If your have an S-VHS socket on the rear of the tele connect to that, or you can get a S-VHS to scart which should connet up. I wouldn't ever use the standard freeby scart cables that get sent with Sky+ etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Wish I could help you Jake but we used a surround sound system not the TV speakers so I have no idea what you need to do to set up it the way you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Prawn Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Have you got scart control on in the sky box picture settings and stereo in the sound settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Too drunk to help much but if you are only using the internal speakers then set whatever setting to stereo. Enhanced audio modes integrated into tv's are invariably shite. Our TV is a three yr old Toshiba that we bought only because of it's image quality (still one of the best CRTs available) and component video input. The enhanced modes (dialogue and 3d) both have faults and don't get used when running through the receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 I tried a different SCART lead but it didn't help. I checked the 'scart control' and 'stereo' settings on the sky+ box but they were already correct. Not sure what S-VHS cables are. Is that the same as SVideo? On the back of the Sky+ box I only have SCART out, RF Out or SVideo out. I might go see my mate later and see if I can borrow his surround sound setup to try and see if it's worth buying.

Bill Prawn Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Is there a switch on the back of the telly for internal/external speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 If it's people voices and that type of channel of sound it spanks of it expecting a centre speaker to output too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
