[vdr] Re: SCART status pin for turning the TV on

["Dark Avenger" <DarkAv@gmx.net>]

Hi,

| At least my DVD player provides this feature: the TV is turned on
| automatically when the DVD player is turned on, and the TV shutsdown when
| the DVD player is shutdown. This is a feature of the SCART cable. I'm not 
| sure which pin provides it thought (I'm guessing it's one of the status 
| pins).

I guess PIN8 is used for it. Usually it is used to switch the TV to the AV and for newer TVs the volatage selects aspect, ie. 12V means 3:3 and 6-8V (not sure) means 16:9 (anamorphic). It is the first time that I heard it is possible to switch the TV on and off via this way (I guess with selected modells). Interesting indeed. Unfortunately I cannot give any hints considering VDR.
