TV with power on problem in cabinet (please help)

Posted by RoarCade on 28, 2001 at 10:25 AM:

Hello, I have small problem. More an annoyance. I have all my components hooked to a line that has a light switch on it, so when I flip the switch, the cabinet, PC (Done in the BIOS wit ha special setting) marquee and scan converter all get power and come right on.

Except for the TV. I need to press the power button on the TV after everything is on in order to get the TV to power up. It remembers its in S-Video mode, and works right away with the PC, but that's the best I can get.

Is there a way, some kind of simple, easy to manufacture thingy, that I can do to make the TV come on when the power is applied to the main switch? Please advise. Thanks all.
