Does the HDMI-EC (AnyNet) on this set power on a home theater/bluray when the TV is turned ON? (The manual says it can turn OFF HDMI-CEC devices.)

The TV will turn on when the Blu-Ray player is turned on. The other devices will turn off when the television is turned off. The logic is that by turning on the Blu-Ray player, the TV will need to be on to navigate and watch. But just because the TV is on doesn't mean the Blu-Ray player or Home Theater system is necessarily wanted each time. So as a power-saving feature, the entire lineup of devices won't turn on - but turning them on first will activate the television. So power on with the Blu-Ray/Home Theater system and power off with the TV - and the other devices will follow. Does that help explain? --Mr. S

The device will run off the power coming from the HDMI cable. I do not use a power plug.

There is no switch; if you want to stop the signal to a connected device, unplug it. It works the same with either one or two devices connected. With HDMI, there is no need to preserve data output/density - if the signal is strong enough to get through the connector (hence the amplifier) and generate a picture, the picture will be as good as the picture that entered the connector. It doesn't matter whether the connector is a $2 Monoprice or a $100 Monster. As one who lived during the analog pre-digital age, I certainly am glad to leave behind the constant striving to improve the quality of the received signal versus the originating signal.

I'd like to note that this can actually be a feature!! In fact - I am specifically looking for a hdmi switch that DOES NOT auto sense. Can be very useful when switch is hooked up to 2 computers and turning computers on/off.

Yes it does. Per page 52 on the manual you can select which HDMI input you want passed through during standby to the output HDMI port. You can also set it to LAST (which means the last HDMI source used becomes the standby pass through.

No, does not support cec hdmi control... must use supplied remote or manual switch

With OpenELEC this controller worked, but only to functions mapped, any functionality that I wanted that wasn't mapped I have to configure myself. I only use this controller as a fall back if an individual's TV isn't HDMI-CEC compatible. My advise always leverage HDMI-CEC first.

You can program the On/Off buttons to control all devices from the main menu. Each device you set up has the On/Off buttons programmed for that device as long as you have selected that device. For example, from the main menu I press power and my tv, surround and satellite all turn on, but not my bluray. I don't use it as often and don't want it on unless I specify. When I select bluray and press on, it comes on.Sometimes my satellite turns off by itself if I'm watching a DVD. I can turn it on by selecting tv from the main menu and then pressing the On button. This does not affect any device programmed to respond to the main menu In/Off buttons. You can program the On/Off buttons to control all devices from the main menu.

Check all your connections, you should not have to do that. I have my Direct TV going to the in..........and my Roku & Bluray in the other inputs. It works fine when I toggle from one to the other. Also your input must be correct as well. Could be a bad unit......

I also have some problems with the AnyNet controls and spent hours on the phone with Samsung trying to get my Pioneer receiver to work. They were no help and kept telling me to get new cables. Here is what I found if you set the sound to "receiver" and have the ARC HDMI cable connected to your receiver OUT port it will find it and the sound works. It even controls the volume but when you turnoff the TV the ANYNet control turns off the receiver like it should but when you turn on the TV my pioneer receiver takes a while to bring up the HDMI interface in fact you can hear the relays click in but by that time this has happened the TV thinks I have no receiver so it reverts back to the internal TV speaker. Very annoying to say the least the work around beside going to the menu and selecting receiver every time is to let the TV come on and turn on your receiver via ANYNET then use your receiver's remote and tune it off then back on and in a few seconds the TV sound is re-routed to your receiver as the TV recognizes the receiver is now there. Another option is to turn off the ANYNET on the systems menu (you have to select system then down arrow to find the ANYNET setting) and then just use a harmony remote to set up the turn-on sequence. By the way I did go by new cables just to make sure my $100+ cables were not the issue as they were before 4K, it made no difference and the picture was worse so back to the original HDMI cables. When I called back Samsung they finally said the ANYNet may not work with other manufacturers and that they could not be responsible for the implementation that Pioneer has done. I asked the tech to put in a ticket to their bugfix group to address the interface timing in their software but the person had no idea how to do this and kept telling me they had no timing in there system which anyone who has written and software knows is not true. Any way hope this helps and keep updating your software maybe they will get it fixed.

HDMI 3 solved the "issue" for me - never saw it again once I used that input. I also do have Anynet function turned on and my TV remote controls my Receiver. When I used HDMI 1 and switched source on my receiver, I saw the "STB Button" message all of the the time.

yes it does. If you run HDMI to the TV from the receiver out, you can get the receiver inputs without power. However, when I tried using the HDMI control functions, I found that I couldn't turn up the volume on my TV with the TV remote. I might have a compatibility issue or I just need to play around with is ome more to get the settings right

No it didn't work for me at all. Looks like it just changes the physical connection but not the actual signal, since real converter boxes run $50+ http://sewelldirect.com/articles/HDMI-Converter.aspx

Good question. Depends on device. Had a problem with my bluray player not switching when I turned it off. Found a setting in the menu which completely shuts it down and fixed the issue. I also just updated the firmware and it now switches off the Apple TV when I put it to sleep. It didn't work before the update. Everything works good now including the DirecTv gene I have hooked up to it. Also, it helps to use the correct order when booking up components that don't sleep. You can set the switch to scan on disconnect or just turned on.

HDMI connections are actively switched in the unit when it's ON. There is no "standby" for these connections to pass through passively when the power is off.

I bought a Sony STRDG920 receiver recently and I can confirm that it does turn itself on and off depending on the TV's state. Though it may depend on whether or not you have a Sony lcd tv connected to it. I'd test this out myself but the Sony Bravia is the only lcd tv I have! In case you wanted to know my setup consists of: - Sony STRDG920 Receiver - Sony Bravia XBR4 (40") - Cable tv is connected directly to the tuner. Sound output goes to the receiver. - Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray Player (HDMI) - Xbox360 (HDMI) - Nintendo Wii (Component) - Sony Playstation 2 (Component)

Yes, they basically worded it incorrectly in the instruction manual. Enabling this feature will remember the On/Off state of the TV when it loses power. So if you unplug it while it is turned on, it will turn itself back on once you plug it back in. It has nothing to do with the video signal. I tried the tech support people and even they weren't aware of this.
