changing default imputs on a television
 
We have a Sony Bravia connected to a humax 9300T.

The television has its own 'built-in' tuner. Everytime I switch on it starts
up using the Sony tuner and then after five or ten seconds goes from the TV
imput to the Humax imput which is on AV1.

Is there any way I can get the televsion to stay 'by default' on the AV1
imput when its switched on? So I dont have to wait about for it to go from
the TV imput to the AV1 imput? Thanks for advice.

What model is it, my Bravias all power up on exactly the same input/state they
were switched off on.

Our telly does the same but it's hardly the end of the world. What sort of
society have we become when we're not content to wait 5 to 10 seconds for
the telly to sort itself out???

Its a Sony KDL32EX403U. Thanks for any further advice.


Just tried with that very model, and it's fine, at least it is coming in and
out of standby.

Is this with the Humax already on, or is it switched on at the same time as
the Sony? Is the connection via SCART or HDMI?

As soon as it is switched on, my 9200T will "steal" the picture from my
Panasonic TV. That's via a fully-wired SCART. A Bush Sat HD receiver does
the same though its HDMI connector, so that's a possibility if the Sony
behaves in the same way. In addition, the Panny setup allows a "Power on
Preference" of the TV or AV input. I haven't used the latter, so don't know
whether or not it switches on the TV first and then switches to AV
automatically after a few seconds. Once again, if the Sony works that way,
it could explain the switch to the 9300T.

When the analogue signals are switched off, the viewer
will get noise. If it's an older iDTV, there'll be no
digital tuning either.

It's this year's model. It has an HD DTT tuner in fact.

One slight puzzle still is that when i switch off the pvr 'before' the tv,
the screen does go blank as you say; but about fifteen seconds later it
finds a few odd TV station analogue signals. But that's not an issue, as
when i again switch on the pvr it goes to straight to the pvr imput. Many
thanks.



Are you setting the AV1 manually on the TV by use of the AV input button, top
left corner on the remote, or (as I suspect) simply allowing the Humax to
assert AV1 via its Scart connection ? Try the former, it should then remain
on AV1 regardless whether the Humax is on or off.

Mark thanks. I did try setting the av input button before as you now
suggest, but it didn't *remain* in that position. Following Martins's
suggestion TV now cooperates much more.

How are you switching it on? I bought a Bravia 40EX503 a few weeks
ago, and was initially disappointed that I had to keep changing the
input to HDMI1 every time I turned it on.

It wasn't until a week or so ago that I realised that the problem was
that I'd been using the "channel up" button rather than the green
power button to switch it on - thanks to an old set I once owned where
the power button would switch it off but not on again. When I use the
green button to switch my Bravia on it "remembers" the last input
used. :-)
