I have soldered the cable, but my tv doesn't auto switch.  I wonder how
that works though.  Does it require pin 8?  Quote:
Internal: 0.0...2.0 V
External (16:9): 4.5...7.0 V
External (4:3): 9.5...12.0 V
Should we just set it up with 12V?
And can we switch it to 16:9 using a relay if that format is detected?  I
can remember someone on the list wanting to try it, but couldn't find it
in my history.

And does anyone know if we can do anything useful with pin 10 / Easylink?

Kind regards,

Mark
