Technical help required

On the positive side, I have discovered that my birthday present of an A/V Amp also routes video signals, so I can dispose of my SCART switcher and about 13 cables.

On the negative side, when the AV amp is connected to my TV it requires a component (red/white/yellow) cable to SCART convertor.  Normally, a SCART input causes it to switch to the correct input automatically, but the component input seems to be missing that signal.

Is there anything I can do about this, or do I just have to press the AV button on my remote every time I turn the TV on?

Dunno, but try geeks. Someone is bound to know there...

We have the Playstation 2 connected to the TV via this cable-to-SCART connector and, yes, we have to press the AV button to get at the signal (which is much crisper than connecting via coax so I'm not complaining).

It's mainly the TV at fault, some are designed to detect any scart plugged in and producing a signal - most don't they just pick up the normal carrier signal. Just life I'm afraid. If you want to check it out you may have only a one way signal happening, or alternatively need to have only one way. Anyway, here's the official diagram.
