Can my receiver turn on my TV?

Yes. You have to enable HDMI CEC on both the receiver and the TV and enable power control on both.

Why is there no sound coming out of my Denon TV?

An HDMI cable runs between the two units and is connected to the ARC input. The receiver turns itself on…and then a minute or so later, it turns off. No audio is coming out of the speakers because the TV remains off. I swapped out the Denon for another unit….same problem.

What’s the volume issue with the Denon receiver?

I have my Comcast cable box connected to the Sat/Cable HDMI port to the Denon receiver, and my LG TV connected to the ARC Monitor Out HDMI port. The issue is when I am watching cable TV the volume on the receiver has to be cranked up to half way just to get any sound, and three quarters the way up to get decent volume.

How to turn on TV audio on Denon AVR?

There is a workaround using a Harmony remote, but you don’t need to use this with more current Denon or Marantz AV receivers that include the TV AUDIO SWITCHING setting option. Click to expand… The newer Denon AVR’s have a separate setting for HDMI / CEC and ARC. So you can leave ARC switched on but have HDMI / CEC switched off.

Is the Denon AVR always in standby mode?

(Quite freaky the first time it happened and I heard a child downstairs in the middle of the night!) The AVR is always in standby mode when we go to bed. The TV is an old Panasonic plasma but it’s turned off (not in standby).

Why does my TV keep turning itself on?

Your receiver has an inbuilt sleep timer, but no ability to set a time to power the receiver up. There’s 2 possibilities left, the TV could be responsible because it is likely to include HDMI Control and may have the ability to power itself up in accordance with settings on that TV?
