Phillips Magnavox 825 vcd - no sound

[nirv117]

I have a Philips maganvox 825DVD player. No matter which options I use when I burn a vcd or svcd I get no sound when trying to play it on my dvd player. It plays fine on my computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the latest firmware too.

Silly question but... Is there sound when you play it on your computer..?

have you tried both audio outputs alalog and digital ? my magnovox 841 will only play svcd's (audio) throught the analog outputs. vcd's play fine either way.

I have 2 philips dvd-players, and they do very well play vcd-sound thorugh digital out. The only drawback is, that the stream is MPEG-encoded, and most surround-amplifiers do not decode mpeg-audio, only PCM, AC3 and DTS. So use the analog out for any vcd-sound or reconfigure (not recommended) the digital out to "pcm only". it's poor that you cannot choose the output format for the major stream types separately. This is a flaw of most dvd-players.

It does play sound on my computer, and in a friends dvd player other vcd's I've tried to make play fine. I tried both the digital and analog outputs, but I'll try the analog again to make sure.

I noticed that when I pushed the audio button on the dvd remote with one svcd it had audio 0 in the little box that came up, and another audio 1 (2 diff svcd's), but no sound.

Did you split the file with mpeg tools in tmpgenc? If you don't specify splitting it into a vcd when using the mpeg tools, mpeg system is the default, and it won't play audio properly on the 825.

Is till get no sound from the vcd's through normal methods but . . .

I was playing around, and If I plug headphones into the headphone jack, I get sound. So i ran a line from the headph0one jack to the stereo, and now I have sound for my VCD's

Maybe this will help someone else.
