As my TV ( Sony NX713) wouldn't return back to the Sky input from my BD player.&nbsp; HTH some!!&nbsp; If you find a neater solution let me know!</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 01 Jan 2011 20:03:03 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/home-cinema-projectors-players/connecting-sky-hd-virgin-v-to-ht-as5/m-p/188829#M3318 MeesterD 2011-01-01T20:03:03Z
