I’m having some CEC problems, wondering if anyone can help.
My setup is Aura > Marantz AVR > Old Panasonic TV.
Turning on is fine, everything powers on and inputs are set correctly. When I power off the TV turns off but not the AVR. My Xbox powers everything off correctly so I’m assuming it’s the Aura thats at fault?
Thanks in advance.
Is your Xbox also connected
Xbox > Marantz AVR > Old Panasonic TV.
Sorry yes, the Xbox and Aura are connected to different inputs on the AVR, a single output to the TV.
What does – FVP – Settings – Freeview Play Preferences – HDMI-CEC say when you click OK
HDMI-CEC on/off One-key-Power on/off
They’re both turned on Graham.
The problem has persisted after yesterday’s update too.
Have you gone through the Marantz settings so the Aura is selected as the pass through source,
make sure HDMI Control is ON and the Power Off Control is set to All.
Setup menu > Video> HDMI Setup.
And make sure to reboot all devices (individually) you are attempting to control via CEC. Just changing the settings and immediately pressing the off button won’t necessarily work.
Resurrecting an old thread.
I’ve decided to switch away from my old Harmony remote and instead use CEC to control the basic AV amp + TV + Aura power ON/OFF sequences.
As per the original poster, I can power on the Marantz + TV + Aura using the Aura remote but power OFF turns off Aura + TV but not the Marantz.
I can confirm that my Marantz switches off when it receives the CEC “EF:36” broadcast + standby command (I can manually broadcast CEC commands to all devices using a HDFury device).
Has anyone who has had the problem figured out a fix?
My guess is that Aura isn’t broadcasting the standby command but instead sending a TV off command sequence, e.g. CEC D0:36, though I’m not an expert in CEC!
I have the same issue with my Sony tv and Sony soundbar it all turns on but not off, I just have to turn off the Sony soundbar separately its a pain but doable.
Humax support just told me that my configuration was unsupported (plugging into the AVR instead of the TV direct) and wouldn’t provide any more support. I’ve resorted to just setting the AVR to power off after 15 minutes of no signal.
It sounds like you’re a bit more clued up on things than I am, so you might have more joy with them – I’d not hold out too much hope though
I have my very old Panasonic home cinema (Samsung HT-C5500) plugged into my TV (Samsung UE556530) on HDMI 2 (CEC) and the Aura plugged into one of the HDMI inputs on the Home Cinema.
I tend to turn on the home cinema first which then turns on the TV and Aura and when I click the small power button on the remote which controls the TV it will turn everything off.
I have HDMI Control ON and the Power Off Control set to All.
Also, I have a daily programme reminder set at 5PM to BBC1 HD to ensure the Aura is fully awake and guide populated.
I fiddled around with TV led CEC control versus Aura led control.
Switching on/off the TV switches on/off my Marantz, but not the Aura.
Switching on/off the Aura, switches on/off the TV and switches the Marantz on only.
I ended up programming my Aura remote to control the TV via IR using the smaller on/off button. I can turn off the TV+Marantz using the smaller on/off button. I then press the larger on/off button to switch on/off the Aura.
It is a faff, but at least I can use the one remote to switch everything on/off!

Why didn’t I think of that?! So simple but perfect.
I use a “one-4-all” remote control to achive the same thing. Works for me and has the bounus that SWMBO has her own “personal” remote.
I have a similar but opposite problem – I don’t want the Aura to switch on the TV/AVR. This is because I bring the Aura out of deep standby and if the TV is on while boot-up is taking place, I finish up with a blank screen which is difficult to get out of.
My setup is: Aura > Marantz NR1506 > Sony KD-43XE8005 (HDMI3/Arc).
On the Aura, HDMI-CEC is Off and One-Key-Power is Off.
The Aura remote is not set to control the TV/AVR.
This generally works fine for me using the Aura remote to control it and Volume/Mute. I use the Sony remote to switch On/Off the TV/AVR.
However, there is one oddity. My Aura comes out of deep standby at 05.30 and records BBC Breakfast from 06.00. When I later switch on the Aura to watch the recording, it also switches on the TV/AVR. It only does this when it’s recording, otherwise it performs exactly as I want.
