I have a VSX-1023 that I am playing with the settings on. In the HDMI Setup menu, there's an option Control what does that do? (Here's my setup:)65 Samsung LED 1080 TV, basic model, 2 HDMI inputs, non-smartPS3, Apple TV 3, Cable box, Blu-Ray player all ran through HDMI to my Pioneer Receiver. Receiver is then connected to the TV through HDMI as well. (To watch anything, I have the receiver on). What does the Control function do? Thanks!
Control llinks various components using HDMIRight now I have control enabled on my TV and my Audio Video receiver so when I turn on the HDTV the AV receiver also comes on and I only have to push one button your HDTV must also have this feature and it must be activated inside the TV menu also.a long time ago I tried to use this feature with a DVD player plus TV and AV receiver but what was happening is that if I didn't want to use the DVD player and I would turn it off the TV would also turn off also sometimes when watching TV the control for the DVD player would spontaneously activate and I would soon be looking at the menu for the DVD player even though I didn't want to do that.I think those functions have been improved upon since the early days but also even now I must turn on the TV first in order for control to activate the TV if I turn on the AV receiver first the TV does not turn on afterwards or takes longer than I wish to wait.it takes about 15 to 20 seconds for the AV receiver to react after I turned on the TV also I do not have the Blu ray player connected using control because of the experiences I had earlierI am satisfied with only the TV and AV receiver coming on I did have to change settings with in the TV and AV receiver in order to get it to work and also I think I had to have ARC activated too in order to get it to work properly.but that is with an older Denon receiver.not sure if your Pionner needs ARC to use that feature,,,,
