Hi. I've been searching all over the place and seems this is a common issue, but I can't work out how to fix it, so hoping someone can give me an idiot's guide to how to resolve it so I can fully enjoy my new Harmony 650.
In short, the TV (Toshiba Regza 32AV615DB) won't go to the correct input when switching on from everything being off. I've only got two activities, Watch TV (Sky, via HDMI 1), and Watch A Movie (DVD player, Ext 3).
Using the Harmony's Help button I can get it to the correct input. Once there, it's fine. For example, say I'm watching Sky, pressing Watch A Movie will switch off the Sky PVR, change the input to Ext 3, switch on the DVD player and open it's drawer (the last one being a setting I added). From there, pressing Watch TV will turn off the DVD player, turn on the PVR and scroll through the inputs to HDMI 1. (It may not necessarily do it all in those orders, if that's significant I'll happily go and note down what it does in what order.)
It's only from a "cold start" that there's an issue. I've followed the Troubleshoot options based on my symptoms and tried various-length power on delays (from default 1000ms up to 8000ms), but it's made no difference.
Hopefully it's something simple and it's quite possible I'm going about it wrongly, but it's got me utterly baffled, hence me asking for some help from people who know what they're doing.
First time user of a Harmony remote, so please forgive my ignorance. Thanks for looking, and any advice will be hugely appreciated.
