Panasonic EX85 Not switching

I just bought a Panasonic EX85 HDD DVD freeview recorder.When I go from
standby to watch a channel on freeview the
machine doe's not switch the TV to the SCART socket, I have to do this with
the TV remote.
Also when I go into the menu and the back to the channel it drops out off
the channel,
I then have to switch it back to the SCAT socket again with the TV remote.

Could some TV expert please tell me of this is a fault
Would be pleased for any information

Best regards

I think it's something to do with RGB settings within the setup, take
a look around in there.

Sounds like a dodgy Scart lead not doing the switching job. Look for
a fully wired Scart lead.

There is a power save setting, when this is set to on
there is no RGB loop through.

Set it to off.

Find it under Setup - Others - Power Save

Found the problem .
The default switches the AV1 output to RGB2 this only grabs the TV SCART
when accessing the menu. To make the Machine grab the TV SCART all the time
AV1 has to be switched to RGB 1

Many thanks for the peps that took the time to reply to my query
