Firstly, sorry, from searching it looks like this may have been asked in various guises before but I cannot seem to find a solution - not sure if that is because there is no solution or because I am simple!
Short version - turn on tv using remote, this switches on avr. Initially it connects to hdmi1 and all fine, then after 3 secs it switches the input automatically to av4 and then I lose sound. I have to manually switch it back to get sound again.
Long one:
Avr is yamaha rx675 and connected to one of the hdmi ports is a sky stb. The avr is then connected via hdmi (arc) to tv, samsung f8000 (hdmi3 arc)
Hdmi control is on on the amp with the audio set to av4 (no idea why since I am not using av4, or am i missing something?). Tv is set up with hdmi-cec on and all other seemingly sensible options selected - if there are specific ones for this ask and i can give details.
What i want is to turn the tv on / off using the tv remote and have this automatically turn on or off the avr - both so i can just use one remote, but also because the avr is in a different room owing to speaker wiring etc .. The issue is that on turning the tv in the avr kicks in normally but then automatically changes the input to av4 so i get picture but no sound. I then either need to switch the avr input manually or by changing the tv source to another then back to hdmi3 at which point the avr automatically switches back to hdmi1
Since the avr can switch it seems there should be a solution, but the initial power on is the problem. Is this just yamaha does not play well with samsung or is it possible to fix?
By way of extra tries, i have also tried connecting the avr av4 to the tv using an optical cable, but this does not seem to help.
Please help, it is realllllllllly irritating!
Thanks
