Tv to 'boot' to "svideo in"

(1/2) > >>

BASSOFeeSH:
My TV is pretty old & I have to either use the remote or menu buttons on the front panel to switch it to "video in".  I have to do this every time I power the TV on & off. Do newer TV's stay on the video input even after you power them down?

aramis:
depends on the make/model.

My RCA will stay on S-vid if I power it down normally (remote or front panel "power" button). But, if I yank the plug, it automatically powers up when I plug it back in except it goes to "video-in" (composite) instead of "S-Video-in".

IIRC, someone mentioned on the old board that some Panasonics stay on on S-Vid AND automatically power up when power is yanked, but I can't remember for sure.

RandyT:
I have a Sanyo 27" currently sold at WalMart.  While it doesn't power on automatically, it does remember that it was in S-video mode, even when you pull the plug.  Picture ain't half bad either :)

BASSOFeeSH:
Yeah, I'm not worries as much about turning the TV itself on as I am about having to navigate the menus to find the 'S-vid IN' selection.

How much does the Sanyo run?

lusid:
On one cabinet I worked on, we opened up the tv and shorted the power button to get it to power on when plugged in.  I don't remember the brand.

Mine is an RCA, so it defaults back to composite if it's unplugged.
