re: Receiver set up help

Look in your manual and see if the HDMI-CEC feature must be enabled when using HDMI passthrough; it's a common requirement. If so, make sure it's enabled on all your equipment, including TV. Then power everything off and back on again and see if it works. Later, when it starts to drive you crazy with random issues, turn all that shite off and use a remote with macros that can power stuff up, switch inputs, etc; that's what most people end up doing. If was enabled all along, well, now you know what to do.

What if you don't see HDMI-CEC? Look for manufacturer-specific names like Viera Link, KURO Link, etc. The non-standard names are part of the bullshite that characterizes the feature.
