When you say  when you switch to any other source it just carries on playing, do you mean the source does not change and you still see the DVD playing  on screen – or it changes source but the DVD payer remains turned on?

On my BS3 and DVD2 when a DVD is playing, if I change source, I see the new source, but I can see the DVD2 screen and the disc stops at whatever counter but the DVD2 remains on. The same happens if I am watching the HDD.  The DVD turns itself to standby after about 15 minutes.

From the DVD2 playing if I switch to say DTV or The Humax Free sat box the new source shows on the screen, with the DVD still "spinning"  then if I power off with the Beo5 the DVD2 doesn't go into standby mode (everything else does), but if I play the DVD2 and power off with the Beo5 it stops and goes into "red" standby mode.

Also the DVD2 doesn't have an on/off switch, 

and when altering the on screen connections and switching sources and powering off the whole system sometimes freezes and because there's no on/off switches i have to pull the Beosystem's power lead, (not good)

I will try it again and see if it turns of and goes into standby after 15 minutes or so

Do you have a scartcable (aside from the hdmicable) between the BS3 and DVD2 for communication?

There's 6 little recessed buttons on the back panel of DVD2.  S3 is 'standby'.

If I play a DVD and then Power off, the whole system goes to standby including DVD2.

It seems your DVD2 is performing as it should when connected to your BS3. You have probably not noticed before but because of your recent issues you may be noticing now.

Set the DVD2 playing then switched to Humax Freesat, DVD2 stopped playing with stopped position in window and Green light on, 2 hours later Green light on, pressed "open tray" and removed DVD green light stayed on, powered the Humax Free sat off and the DVD Green light stayed on, powered up the DVD2 from the Beo5 remote and then powered off again DVD2 goes straight to (Red) standby, so the only problem of DVD2 standby is with source switching

I think the problem must be in the on screen connections, or what I'm doing wrong

could you give me your exact settings for your on screen connections

Thanks for your help

yes I have both cables fitted, do I set "connections" to HDMI 

Yes but the Beo3 sits in a unit and access to the rear is limited 

Hi Graham,

Screenshots of the Connections in the order they come up as you step through. Mine is not connected with HDMI.
