I presume you're talking about this circuit. I'll look it over. Thanks. haha... responded to the wrong thread. That's what I get for having multiple windows open. |

I use X10 with my setup which has a TV similar to the original poster. I soldered two wires to the TV's power button (right at the solder points on the TV's motherboard) to an Universal Module (UM506 - google the numbers for more info). Along with a Transceiver Module (TM751) and a USB Firecracker (CM19A) I can use a command line app that's downloadable from x10's website to make the computer turn the TV on and off. Granted I use X10 for other things around the house so this solution was very convenient for my case. |

Be careful using X10 on a cabinet as it may be problematic. Computers and TV's are notoriously noisy for X10 devices. Also, those power strips that you are surely using to hook up all your goodies will be a potential problem as well as they both filter the signals and create their own noise. I had to swap power strips on my cabs to keep them from killing the X10 signal in my house. Otherwise, I really like that solution! |

Or just put 12 volts to pin 8 of your scart and a screw holding power button on! DONE! TV turns on automatically and automatically goes to AV input. no remotes, no codes, no messing. (Using a smartstrip or intelliplug) |

Might work with SCART, but we don't have that in the US. |
