Tv, Cable, DVD help needed

Hello all, i have a Samsung Digital Tv, Samsung Digital DVD, Virgin tv.

I am having a problem with my DVD.

The AV 1 keeps interupting my DVD when i am watching a dvd recorded, or a DVD film. Making me have to go to the beginning of the DVD/Hard drive and find where i was before it went to AV.
I use my TV remote source button, click once AV1, then AV2, next the one i want HDMI. Then use my DVD remote to start the DVD, find it on my hard drive etc.

I have the TV HDMI cable connected to the DVD Recorder, the TV attached by Scart to the Virgin box, and another scart from DVD to Virgin box.

It all works, copies ok between them all, just that annoying problem.

Any help appreciated, thanks, GEP

Turn off Anynet. As soon as the TV receives a signal from another piece of kit (i.e. the Virgin cable box is receiving a signal from the DVD via scart, then passing that signal on to the TV via scart) it assumes that you have stopped viewing the Anynet source that it is receiving via HDMI - and switches the Samsung DVD recorder off as it thinks you are no longer watching it. Alternatively, disconnect the Virgin box from the DVD recorder when not recording, or disconnect the Virgin box from the TV via scart, so that you don't have a loop.
