I had a PVR-9300T with 2 scart sockets plus a CRT TV with 3 scart sockets and a dvd player with one scart socket. I put one scart lead from Humax box to TV and another lead from Humax to DVD and if I wanted to go from watching TV to a DVD I just put the Humax box on standby and switched on the DVD.
Now I have a HDR-1800T that has only one scart socket. I put one scart lead from TV to new Humax box. I put another scart lead from DVD player to TV and get nothing. On two occasions I have had the SONY symbol come up on my TV when I switch the Humax to standby and the DVD player on.
Any suggestions on how to get the connections right?

The connections sound right to me. I think you will have to use a source (or whatever Sony call it) button on the TV remote to select the appropriate input.
I have noticed on the new HD Humax box’s there are only outputs, at the rear of the Humax HD box’s, which means there is no longer a loop though from scart to any other output on the unit. so you can no longer connect a DVD player to the Humax then to the TV as it will not work, unlike the older twin scart box’s, were you had a input as well as a output scarts. Its a bit of a pain because you have to connect them separately to the TV now.
Thank you both for your replies. It was good to know that my connections were correct. I switched it all on and left it to “warm up” whilst I got a cuppa and when I got back the TV had the Sony logo showing. I repeated what I had done and saw that it took several minutes for it to happen so my guess is that the Sony is “smart” and is finding a channel all on its own. The other thing that I had done was to disconnect the Humax from the electricity socket so it was not even on standby; I do not know of this made the slightest difference.
Thank you again.
I have a similar connection issue however I don’t think it’s a Humax issue I never thought of asking for help here. I have my Humax HDR connected via HDMI cable to my TV and it works fine. I then plug a Blu Ray player into the TV with another HDMI cable into the adjacent socket and it doesn’t work.
I have swapped the cables and swapped the TV inputs and again it does not work. I have tried all the sources of input on the TV remote.
I bought a component video (RGB) to 3.5mm jack plug cable and used this to connect the Blu Ray to the TV and now it works.
Is there anything else I could try so it will work in 1080p rather than 576?
