I'm not sure I understand completely what your saying, but it sounds simular to what I did when I was hooking up my h/k.
See what happens when you select input on your tv remote.
My tv has a seperate s-video input that works only after I push the input button on my tv remote. When I push it again it goes to channel 03 which my direct tv is set for.
Dont know if any of that makes since.
Hope so
