Can anyone help?

Whenever I select DVD on my Sony STR-DB925 amp the remote automatically selects AV1 on my Sony 29 inch 4:3 TV. However my Sony DVD 715 is connected, via S-VHS (not scart), to the AV2 S-VHS input.

Any suggestions on how I can get it select AV2 instead of AV1???

Cheers
Simon

Guessing that you can't move your DVD to AV1 for some reason, I'll bet you're out of luck. The remote with my DE825 "almost" worked my system perfectly until I added a SONY DSS Receiver. Since it plugged in where my TV used to, I found I had to assign my TV to a USER setting to still use it with cable TV. That screwed up almost everything in my setup. I solved it all by getting a PRONTO, finding the discrete IR codes for my Sony TV and other components, and creating macros to switch everything as I need it. I hit one button for "PLAY DVD" and it switches the TV on, sets it to AV1, turns on the DE825, siwtches it to DVD, turns on the DVD and opens the tray, then leaves me on a control panel with the DVD controls ready. I hit "PLAY DSS" and it switches anythiing it doesn't need off, sets up and routes the DSS signal to the TV, then leaves me on a control panel for the DSS box.
SONY had been very helpful in explaining to me why I wouldn't be able to change the way their remote worked. "You can't do that." they said.

Simon, I had a similar problem with my old DE825. The DB925 comes with the 2-way LCD remote, right? If so, you're SOL. I would suggest replacing it with a OneForAll Cinema6 or Cinema7 learning remote. It will allow you to do pretty much the same thing as David suggested, but for a good bit less money. You can find these for $20 or so at places like Wal-Mart and Sears.

I don't even believe this is a problem with 2-way communications. All Sony remotes use "macros" for the component selection keys that also change TV inputs. Buy a (any!) universal remote - they don't do that.

Yep, it uses a macro to do it, but you can't CHANGE the macro. How lame.
