Hi PhilIt's the main reason why Ian configured that system for me years ago, because I couldn't bend down or forward at the back of TV cabinets and hi-fi components. The box is quite small, with five push-buttons on the front, and all the phono sockets coming out at the rear. When I want Sky on the hi-fi for example, I just select one of those buttons, and similarly, when I want to jump to video or Freeview, I do likewise. I've also got the ability if I want to put my Iriver through the stereo as well, but I tend not to use it that way now because the laptop is hooked up to the hi-fi directly if I want to play music.
It's one of Ian's many creations that I like using. Haven't the foggiest idea how he does it, but I gave up asking yonks ago, and just enjoy the ease of use with which his creations give me. (smile.)
But though Tandy is sadly no longer around - one of the worst closures in living memory I believe - Maplin should have something similar, or Hagger Electronics could make you up something if you ask Lee.

Hi Jackie, That sounds like the ideal solution, in the past I have had to swop the phono cables around depending on whether I've wanted Sky or dvd to comethrough the stereo, this would save all that fiddling around at the back ofthe tv cabinet!

The box has five buttons on the front, and all the devices are connected through it to the hi-fi using five sets of phonos going in, andtwo going out to the hi-fi. It's a setup that Ian rigged up for me, and allI do when I want Sky through the hi-fi is press one of the buttons on the little box, and do likewise for Freeview or the video. We got this magicbox a long time ago in Tandy, but I reckon Maplin Electronics might sell youan equivalent. I'd hate to be without it to be honest. I hope this is of some use.

I do have a scart to phonolead too but I'm not sure how to connect it all to have the freeview, dvd and scart phono lead connected at the same tmetime. I am more interested in what the 2 holes are on the back of the Logic box which seem to be the only spare sockets but which don't appear to take the standard phono leads.Where is sighted help when you need it, well she's out shopping actually!!Thanks anyway, Phil --- Phil Stephenson Nottingham, East Midlands Mobile: 07841 714931 Email: phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 06 March 2008 09:33 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: audio output on the Logic ldr freeview box Hi GuysWe've got our Freeview box connected to the hi-fi through phono sockets as the box has connections to allow us to do so. But having said that, we'vehad ours for some time so perhaps those being sold now don't have them.

Any information welcome.
