Hi Young At Heart,
We too had a problem with our DVD-TV connection. We either got sound OR picture, but never both!
We were informed that it was probably the SCART lead - so we purchased another one.
Still no joy.
We then called Erin Spot, who came down.....took a look....couldn't figure out what was wrong and so took both the TV and DVD away.
A few days later they returned.
All is working now but I have no idea what was wrong; what was fixed; what was replaced.
Here's a thought:
Buy a PS2, take it to Turkey and use that to watch DVD's and listen to CD's. This way you can always play PS2 & PS1 games if you get fed up with the films.
Glen.
