Hi there,Thanks for your input, ,

If i just turn on the tv and sky box, then the picture comes on straight away, but no sound cos the dvd/surround sound is turned off.
As soon as i turn on the dvd/surround system the picture goes and i then have to scroll thru the remote to find AV1 to get the picture, , then scroll thru the sound options to get to aux.

Yes you are right, , it is DIN not bin ( how could i be so stupid )..

Surely there is a way to turn the dvd/surround system on and get it to start on AV1 instead of HDMI 1, , and DIN as the default sound, , meaning more scrolling.

I would like to turn on the tv, sky box and dvd system at the same time and have it default to AV1 for the picture and AUX for the sound.

I have taken the tvs remote completly out of the picture altogether as it was just complicating things further, so i only use the sky remote for changing channels, and the dvd systems remote for changing from din to aux, and obviously for changing over to HDMI 2 for the playstation and for turning on /off the tv and dvd system.
When i put a dvd in, it automatically defaults to HDMI 1 for dvd and i just have to press the " one touch play 2 button and the sound and picture come on at once.

Its all very complicated and surely there must be an easier way of doing things than constantly scrolling thru menus to get the picture back, and to find the correct sound source.
