HDMI CEC configuration

[znik]

My VU solo is connected to my Panasonic TV via an Onkyo 608 AV receiver.

Onkyo supports HDMI control (RIHD) . Panasonic also supports Vierra link.
That means that by turning the TV on, the receiver turns on automatically.

What I am trying to do now is to power on/off my VU along with my TV and receiver in one action.

Is it possible?
My Onkyo HDMI out is connected to HDMI2 of my TV and VUsolo to onkyo HDMI "cabl".

I have enabled HDMI CEC, I choose TV HDMI input:HDMI2 and AC receiver HDMI input:HDMI1 - 5 with no result...
The TV shuts off along with the VU but NOT the receiver .
When I power on the VU the TV turns on too but shows the terrestrial TV channel along with the sound of the satellite channel...
What am I doing wrong?

If you scroll the options left-right on the HDMI-CEC plugin you show also "TV+AV Receiver ...."

Sorry, I didn't get it...
I have enabled "choose A/V receiver HDMI input" on the VU if that's what you are saying .
I don't see a "TV+AV Receiver" though...

Very strange! My BH 1.7.9 (stock release) has these settings into options "Vu+ On...", "TV On..." and respective standby options.

Okay now I've found what you are saying and I have put:
TV on ==> VU+ activity: VU wakeup
TV standby ==> VU+ activity: VU standby
VU on ==> TV activity: TV+ A/V wakeup
VU standby ==> TV activity: TV+A/V standby
VU deepstandby==>TV activity: TV+ A/V standby

It works partially but not very well on me...
The TV remote control power off button sends to sleep my TV + A/V + VU.
The VU remote control power off button sends to sleep only my TV and VU while I am watching a satellite channel on the VU and everything only if I watch a TV channel on my TV.

The VU remote control power on button switches on the TV, A/V and VU but sends me to the TV terrestrial channels . SO, I have to switch to A/V HDMI where my VU is connected by using the TV remote control. It doesn't send me directly to the VU.

What's the meaning of the option: "Active source reply on" ? (I have set it to yes)
Is there a way to control my TV with the VU remote control? I have never used the "TV" button on the VU remote control and wonder about its use.

We have about the same A/V reciever so I believe you have tested it and give me an answer for correct settings

The most important thing though I 've just noticed is that I cannot switch to another HDMI of my Onkyo A/V if HDMI CEC is "on" on the VU

I suggest to upgrade to latest firmware your TV and your Onkyo if it's can be upgraded with firmware files....

I have the same problem with my panasonic tv, it's impossible to make it work with every tv though.

Hi, how did you solve this problem in the end? I have almost the same combination of devices. Thanks a lot!

Same problem for me. Probably happens with Panasonic tv. Change the settings many times but with no the best result

Znik, yes there is a way to use ur vu remote for the tv. If not yet done let me know and I'll post that how to do it
