If a TV is the master and you turn it on, does it then turn on all the secondary devices? Or they stay off &amp; are allowed to be turned on only w/tv on?

The secondary plugs supply power when the master is turned on in the same way as if you plugged them into the wall. With most newer devices, that means that they will have power, but won't automatically turn on.

I had this problem, too. But the manual should state "if the television's POWER is plugged into the back of the cable box." Alas, the TV is three-pronged and the cable box only has a two-prong outlet. I used the function on the cable remote to accomplish this, it's just a little slow to react.

The blue is the "master" outlet that cuts power to the green outlets. The red are always on. But I have 2 lamps plugged into the green outlets and they come back on after being turned off by the master. It does what it says in that it cuts power to the green outlets when the device on the blue is turned off (in our case, the tv). So it turns off our soundbar, Xbox, etc. but then the power is restored for a time to the green outlets so the lights come back on for about 10 minutes, eventually turning off again.

I have direct tv. I have it connected from the dish box to the receiver to the tv. I turn on the direct box and tv , pause then turn the receiver. after that no problems. I always have to turn on the receiver or it will not pass through without doing that . after I turn on the receiver and everything is running I can turn off the receiver and it will pass through so I am listening to just the tv. I hope you understand what I just wrote.....

Power on your television first and let it boot up all of the way. Then power on the home theater system and it will revert to the last input. That has been the work around that I was able to come up with. Good luck!

It automatically switches when it receives a signal. If you have 2 devices on at the same time, you would need the remote to switch them. Otherwise, you would need to turn one device off, then turn the other one on.

It depends on your TV. We have a "component" channel that turns on whatever is plugged into those spots.

When I power on the receiver is on the hdmi input that was set when I turned it off. I don't know if you can make one input the default when powered on? But would like to know if you can...I use the iPad Pioneer iControlav app which makes switching the input and controlling the receiver very easy.

No. All devices controlled by the master device turn on immediately. There appears to be no delay.

You press the power button on your computer(or tv) which is plugged into the master. And that alone will turn on whatever else is plugged into the slaves such as a monitor, speakers, lamp etc. When you turn off your master which is the tv(or shut down your pc) after 1:30 all the slaves will turn off. The red button the strip stays on always just like any other power strip

They all turn off the lighting, but unit is still on and working. If you want to turn unit off put it in cable mode.

as others said, yes, and most modern (1980 or so) TVs when they get power back, will NOT turn full on, but will go into stanby mode waiting to be turned on again. Some TVs such as 120V/12V combo ones may still have a mechanical switch and it will turn fully on, but anything that came with a remote would be fine

Mine stays on. I just have to manually switch from the TV to the other devices I want to use.

Yes. 1 master plug for tv, 7 power saving outlets controlled by master (plug BluRay and Soundbar). There are only 3 always on outlets which should cover keeping modem and router on at all times and laptop use if tv is off, but no more than these three without turning on tv to access power saving plugs.

I leave mine on 24/7, if it disconnects then I don't know but when the TV is on, it is working so no problems with that.

I have it hooked up to my Panasonic tv, and I have to initially power it on separately after turning on tv. When on, you must use the speaker remote to control the volume. The tv remote controls the tv volume. However, if you turn the tv off, the speakers turn off. They don't power off, the just get quiet. You can then turn the tv back on and not have to turn the speakers back on separately. After a while (not really sure how long) the unit will power itself off, and then you will have to turn it back on again when turning the tv on. Hope this helps and wasn't worded confusingly.
