Need Some Help & Advise ! !

I have just got the Original Component Lead for my Pal Cube
My Tv is the Toshiba 32ZD09B one of the first tv's to have component connections .

I'm connecting the Cube as follows :

Component Lead from Cube to back of Tv , also using the original Cube cable Red/White Audio & Yellow Picture . Only using the two Audio leads connected to back of Tv ? ? .
I must say the Picture is Super Clear but I can not seem to get any Sound Why
Do I have to change any setting etc on Tv or Cube

So please any help would be great Thanks
Oh Plasma will be on order once Living Room Finished

I had this 'problem' too. I'm pretty sure the Cube component lead doesn't carry sound - I hope you didn't chuck away the other cable that came with the Cube! Just connect the other cable aswell (you can connect that one and the component one in the back) and run it through to your TV or AV receiver etc and you'll be fine.

This is going from memory. If you're still having problems post some more details and I'll check my setup when I get home and try to advise from there.

EDIT - Oh, re-reading your post it seems you already set this up. Hmm, well I'll shut up now.

Thanks for the reply ,

That's what I'm doing using both the Component & Original Cube
Leads into the back of the Tv
Getting a SUPER Picture , Why No SOUND ? ?

So Guys I need Help

I take it you don't have an AV receiver you could stick the audio into? That's the way I have it set up.

I have not got an Amp Yet , will once get Plasma
So why is it not working ? ?

What a nightmare ! !

[Willy]

I'll check my set-up tonight. Have you tried going into the console options and looking at the audio settings?

[BIONIC MAN]

The only setting that I could find in the console's option screen
was Stearo / Mono ! !
I would have throught that you would have the same sort
of settings like my PS2 have got ? ?

If there is more settings how do you get to them

[Willy]

Can't say any more till I'm at home. In the meantime hopefully someone who knows what they're on about will come on here and put us both out of our misery!

Is there more that one set of audio inputs on your TV?
i.e. you are using the audio connection that relates to the same component (av) input.

[BIONIC MAN]

Nike

The audio inputs are next to the Component input , so
must be the ones
I also have 3 inputs in front of Tv , which the 3 original leads Yellow Video & Red/White Audio they work fine

What you are saying the audio inputs may not be the ones that
work with the component lead ? ?
I need to look at the manual

I think i know what your problem is, if memory serves me correctly your tv has the component jacks on the back but has no audio inputs on the tv for it (unless the tv has built in DD ??), yes this sounds stupid but i suspect toshiba expected someone who is using a AV product via the component connection would be using a seperate amp/receiver (or using the inbuilt DD if the tv has it via a optical connection). The tv's fixed audio "outputs" are located next to the component inputs and thats your problem, they are not actually inputs they are the tv's fixed audio outputs.
I know this is the case on one toshiba tv and i think it's the one you have, just to be sure try the cable that you got packaged with the GC in the front composite input to make sure the cables audio is actually working. If this is the case your buggered until you get your amp

[Willy]

Cool, I was about to go & faff about with my cables to check, but I kust knew someone who knew what they were talking about would come along.

Edit - Oops.

I know that some Tosh TVs are able to use the sound from one of the normal scart inputs at the same time as the component video. It might be worth borrowing a scart to phono converter and see if one of the scart inputs work. (i guess its not AV3 or whatever inputs are on the front of the Tv as you have already tried that right?)

check that its plugged in right on the cube - I've often had issues with the sound cable not being shoved in all the way.

I know it sounds a bit stupid and obvious, but the back audio inputs ARE the inputs, and not the outputs, right? On my Toshiba TV, a similar model to yours, the inputs are at the front with the S-Video connections, and the sockets on the back of the TV are the sound outputs, which I seem to remember are next to the component input.

Thanks guys for all your advise

Fuzzybee & Srgbilco you are both correct in what you have said about my Tos Tv the Audio point next to the Component input , is
for Audio Output Only ! ! Nightmare

Looks like I need to buy My new setup early Loads of money he he ( What Plasma & Amp Oh & Speakers )

There is just one last thing will the Component Lead for the Cube output 60 hz like the RGB Lead ? ?

Once again Guys thanks

[fuzzybee]

Regarding the component lead yes it will display a pal game in pal50 or in pal60 if the game has the option just like the pal RGB cable. The picture quality will be slightly better via the component cable, as for ntsc games they will all be at 60hz but will not display in Prog Scan on your tv only interlaced component 480i

[BIONIC MAN]

Thanks for thr reply Fuzzybee
The picture still looks great in Interlaced 480i
