Your Harmony remote or other IR remotes have no influence upon whether it is enabled or not. Sony for instance call it Bravia Sync while Samsung refer to it by the term Anynet+. HDMI CEC or Control is termed otherwise by the TV manufacturers. It is an inherent flaw with ARC and HDMI CEC.Īll TVs have the ability to turn HDMI CEC off. This issue has been known about for several years and it effects other receivers and TVs. There is no settingyou can use to counter this in association with Yamaha AV receivers. HDMI CEC would automatically switch the AV receiver to the TV source if ARC is enabled whenever you power the receiver up. It happens regardless of whether or not you've engaged standby through. I know many devices can be configured to only partially enable CEC (power, input select, media control, and volume control being the control groups I am aware of). In general however, if you have a correctly setup and behaving CEC+ARC, its probably best not to randomly switch things on and off. If I just switch the AVR back on, then it just takes over the sound from the TV auitomatically and my TV volume control now starts controlling the AVR volume control instead of its internal volume due to CEC commands.Īlso some TVs appear to have CEC on/off in the IR remote commands sets from looking at command available for some TVs in harmony. Maybe other TVs work differently and are more demanding - this one seems to be very sensible, especially with its auto switch to internal sound as it means I can be watching a BD via AVR, then just switch the AVR off (for eg because people have gone to bed and I need switch to smaller speaker) and everything carries on with the TV automatically taking over the sound. This seems to be true even if I put the passed through STB/BD player to sleep as well, in fact switching the AVR seems to wake it up again and so restoring the original video path. However, if the AVR input on TV is already active (due to AVR standby pass through, or because AVR was the signal source before it was switched off), then the source remain on the AVR when I switch it back on. I think this is only true if the TV has is using the use ARC HDMI when the AVR is switched on - ie the TV is viewing anything other than the receiver (or at least it is foe my AVR+TV). For audio only sources this works, however, if I decided to have the video from the TV's youtube app and the audio from my old FireTV (let say amazon music for eg), then there is no hope in hell as then I have a video source conflict so long as HDMI-CEC is enabled across the chain - the only way to do it is to let the TV and AVR become completely independent again - ie disable HDMI-CEC. The only way here is to first select youtube and start the video, then select the music source on the AVR. That's two different inputs in use - the AVR thinks I just want music while the TV thinks I just want youtube.

The only time when this is annoying is for eg, I want to stick some ambient video on my TV from the youtube app on the TV (an aquarium for eg), but I want music from the AVR. Usually I don't have to as the source select command that harmony sends will tend to resolve the start up chaos. I deal with it by add a final source select command aim at AVR or TV.

The only time when things can sometimes get confused is when my logitech harmony remote independently powers on everything causing a free for all. I have HDMI CEC and ARC fully enabled on my RX-V781 AVR and LG B7V TV and other STBs and BD etc - and that's how they behave. If you want net radio from the AVR, then power up the AVR and select that etc. If you want to use the STB - power that up instead etc. If you want to watch TV - power up the TV. The 'fix' generally is to active the device you actually want to use. However, if you just power on the TV, then it thinks its the originators and so quite reasonably tells everything else to power up and fall in line down the chain. The AVR on powering up also powers up the TV and that causes the TV to select that input - job done! The way HDMI-CEC generally works is you power up (or otherwise activate, press play etc) the device you want to view and the AVR gets powered up over HDMI and selects that input.

(Samsung one-control involved in this as well? Or perhaps Logitech harmony?) It sounds like the TV is being independently powered on.
