On the monitor cable there is a phono plug attached I have tried various sockets on the computer (Packet Bell CHO BOS) Can you help please Colin Wolstenholme 01787 463053.

The TV should have VGA input socket to connect with. if have; you can connect the TV with the computer, using a VGA to VGA cable.
VGA input socket.

Have you connected the Left speaker to the right speaker using the supplied cable? If not, connect the cable to the socket on the back of the right speaker labelled "to left speaker" and on the left speaker, to the socket labelled "from right speaker"
If this still doesn't solve the problem, try swapping the input cables (put the white plug in the red socket and vice versa) to see if this makes the left speaker produce sound, if it does, check the connection at the source to check the plug(s) are in all the way. If there is still no sound in the left speaker, unplug everything and do the following:
connect the left and right speakers with the supplied phono lead (Probably black) between sockets labelled "to left speaker" and "from right speaker"
then connect the source to any of the inputs on the back of the right speaker (ensure if using the red and white phono inputs that both are connected)
finally plug in power source.
Hope this helps

Check to make sure the cable from the monitor is securely attached to your desktop.

find a serial or parallel port to connect it

Usually, most TV's have at least one SCART socket with all 21 pins connected. If so, you will be able to buy a SCART to PHONO adaptor quite cheap from places like Ebay. Try the link I have attached below for example:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLD-SCART-ADAPTER-3-x-RCA-PHONO-S-Video-SVIDEO-Adaptor_W0QQitemZ360162931117QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL?hash=item53db6231ad

Other types of adaptor are available, in the form of a cable assembly, which has a SCART socket on one end and either 2 or 3 PHONO plugs on the other end of the cable.
This may also work for you.

You did okay but the phono sockets are not for Computer/TV use. Phono sockets should be checked int the manual on why they're there. If you have connected the Bravia to your computer, using the appropriate cable, then you should also purchase or request from the retailer where you purchased the TV a cable that has stereo phono plugs and, you didn't say what size phono sockets they are but I presume they are 3.5 mm. So, if the TV has 3.5 mm sockets, you purchase a cable with stereo 3.5 mm plugs. This is adequate for the stereo wav sound coming from the computer and going into the TV. Remember, having 2 Phono inputs on the TV doesn't mean anything. The TV could have a number of video inputs too, ATD AVT, AV, COMPONENT1, COMPONENT2, HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, etc. each have it's respective sound inputs for AV, S-VIDEO, DVD, Blue-Ray, etc. But for the computer there may be a different type of socket for it's sound inputs, normally it is the old phono sockets. Seek help from the retailer or else you could cook the circuitry of the TV's sound system.

Hi the only thing in between is the cartridge, wires and phono plugs at the back. There is a small circuit board (no electronics on it though) inside that the wires go to first. The possibility are , cartridge faulty (most likely i would guess), wire off the circuit board or the phono plugs/sockets at the back loose. Check the wires on the cartridge are ok as well. Have you also swopped the outputs just to check the cable to the mixer/amp?

Hope that helps

I've been recording LPs for over a year now.

I've got the turntable outputs plugged into the phono inputs on the receiver amp.

I'm taking the Y cord (pair of RCA connectors at one end, mini plug at other) from the Tape Record (these are what you'd use to send a signal to the tape deck for recording) on the amp to the "line in" on the sound card. You may want to look up the specs on your sound card to make certain that you've got the plug in the correct socket. There may be a "line in" and a "microphone" socket. Use the "line in"

What recording software are you using? Audacity is free and is ok. I'm using Goldwave (costs ~$50) and highly recommend it. MUCH better than any other package I've tried. Just google "goldwave" to find it.

The recording software should have an option for selecting / specifying a source. If you have "microphone" selected and the y cord going into the "line in" socket, yoiu won't get anything.

l need the drivers for diamond 1200 plus

As long as the phono socket is red or white. That represents Audio
