OK, this is an odd situation. I have an 880 and a Sharp Aquos TV.

I have Cable on Input 3 (Componant) and an Apple tV on Input 5 (HDMI) Here is what works:

Turning Cable on/of
Turning Apple TV on/off
Going from Cable to Apple TV

Here is what doesn't work: Going from Apple TV (HDMI) to Cable (Componant)

I have tried Option 1, which flat out fails on the Aquos, so I went to Option 2. This 'should' work as the TV has direct input selections for inputs 1-5. However, when trying to go from Apple to Cable, the input does not change, and the HELP button is unable to change the input from 5 back to 3 (You have to grab the original remote to get the inputs to change).

I also tried Option 3, This works as well, except for going from Apple to Cable. In this instance, it keeps stopping on 'TV'. There is no way to disable this input selection. The Help button in this case WILL change the input to Input 3.

I have incremented the various delays from 100 to up to 1200 or more, with no luck.

It is the TV, as this remote functions flawlessly on other TV's.

Is there any work around to get the Aquos to switch between HDMI and componant inputs? I am out of ideas
