Are you sending the analog audio outputs from the LD and DVD player to the switchbox as well? If not, that may explain why, when you tape, you get no sound.Also, the DVD player must be set up for analog audio output in the player setup menu section. That's because when you select bitstream output (if you want to send the DTS and DD digital stream to your receiver/processor), the analog output is usually disabled.
Follow Ups:
With a CRT, continued long-term use of a 4X3 ratio picture on a 16X9 screen *will* cause phosphor burn.
This will happen sooner if contrast and brightness levels are high, but will happen at any watchable picture level eventually.
I saw a Vision III that had the 4X3 pattern burned into the phosphors after only 400 hrs.
One remedy that *may* work: turn on the set/projector and put up a blank white screen. Turn down the contrast almost all the way down (you just need a trickle of voltage) and leave it on for 24 hrs.
The only way to tell if you have burn-in is to put up a full white screen. If you do, you'll see a darker area that corresponds to the 4x3 area. In normal viewing, you'd never see it--unless you burn the CNN or Fox news logos into the phosphors!
A few inches down, maybe?
