Manage updates with the Download App
First of all, let me apologize for posting something that seems to have been asked/answered several times, it's just been a long week and I suck at the search function right now. Sorry for being a lazy git.
I have the RX-V671 which I just updated with the latest firmware. Connected to that unit is a Samsung SmartTV (D6420 if it matters) that I've also updated the firmware on.
I have all of the ARC features ON on the receiver (HDMI Control: ON, Input HDMI1 -> Audio In: HDMI1). On the TV I've turned ON Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC), Auto Turn Off, and Receiver.
With that setup, the TV (and cable) remote can change the volume with no problem. When I press the POWER button on the TV (or cable) remote, the TV and receiver turn off without issue. When I press it again to turn everything on, only the TV turns on. Worse, when I turn the receiver on, it initially switches to the HDMI1 input so I get sound, but quickly changes to AV4 where I get no sound (I have not connected the optical cable yet). So I have to manually switch it back to HDMI1. The TV does have an ARC HDMI connector, which is what I'm using. Once that pain is over, it works great.
With that setup is it possible to prevent the receiver from switching to AV4? Is it possible to get the receiver to power up when the TV is turned on?
If I turn OFF the Anynet+ on the TV, the TV/cable remotes no longer control the volume, but turning on the TV no longer switches the receiver to AV4.
Am I basically hosed here, the devices not work and play well together? If that's the case, I don't suppose there's an easy way to hack/root either device to work with the other?

Anynet...

pugeek,
Anynet+ is a Samsung technology, and I don't believe Yamaha uses that HDMI-CEC standard. So some interoperability between the two devices may vary.
When the receiver is turned on, the TV is sent a signal to power on to that input. But other devices connected to the receiver would likely not pass through the CEC of the receiver.
If the CEC is switching the TV to the wrong input, then not using Anynet+ at all, and using discrete codes or a universal remote may be the best solution in this instance.
Some receivers also have firmware updates that can sometimes address these issues, but unless it adds Anynet+, it may still give you the same issues.
Does that help explain a little?

Arc issue

this seems to be a common issue with last years Samsungs. When installing these tvs in home theater systems with universal remotes, we have had to put in long delays to return the yamaha avr to the proper input after the tv is turned on. this includes having the avr already on using the tuner and simply turning the tv on to use the on-screen display. 11 seconds after the tv is turned on it will switch to av4. the only remedy seems to be to disable arc and run an optical cable to the receiver. the problem with this is that it eliminates the audio for pip while using smart hub.... is there any other solution other than telling us that "it's Yamaha's problem."

HTInstallerGuy,
Sorry to hear about the work around you're having. I don't know why PIP isn't working for you, because it should be with the configuration you described. The best recommendation I can give is for you to disable Anynet+, because that may be interfering with your remote scheme.
If that doesn't help, please describe your setup in a little more detail, and I'll see what else I can do for you.

Samsung and RX-V475

Hi Samsung,
I have an RX-V475 and Samsung PN64E8000. I also have Logitech One universal remote. I programed everything and when I turn on the TV, the receiver will go to HDMI1 and then after 10 seconds will switch to AV4. I have the ARC on on both TV and receiver. Is there a fix to this issue? I'm about to return the TV and buy a different brand.
Yamaha RX-V373 keeps switching to AV4

I have a universal remote set up to configure my Samsung 6100 TV, Yamaha RX-V373 and DirecTV. Issue is same as many other posts on the web...after 10 seconds to the TV puts the Receiver in AV4 mode when it needs to stay in HDMI1 mode. AV4 is fine if I have a peripheral plugged into the TV but for normal viewing I don't want the TV to control the receiver. I could turn HDMI control off on the receiver but that defeats the purpose of using the HDMI cable for getting audio routing into the TV. This issue has been present for over a year based on web posts and I think it's fairly simple...if something is plugged into the TV and used as a source then control the receiver to be on AV4, otherwise the receiver should be in it's audio setting it is commanded to be in by the user. Any advice?
