What is displayed on the television is controlled by the Marmitek switcher box (the top box with the small blue light) using the small black Marmitek remote control with an on/off button and the numbers 1 to 4 or the chrome button on the switcher box itself. Make sure that the Marmitek switcher is on (blue light showing). There is no need to turn this box off. Then select the required output on the Marmitek remote control as follows: Sky Box - select 1 DVD player - select 2 If you have plugged a personal device into the white HDMI lead select 3.
