cyrowth Posted Saturday at 09:26 PM Posted Saturday at 09:26 PM I think the default is set to Standby/Suspend. I would like to change to Shutdown if possible like on my X5, but I can't find a setting to select Shutdown ? Does anyone know how to change if it is possible ? Quote

cyrowth Posted Monday at 06:24 PM Author Posted Monday at 06:24 PM This really does matter to me for below reasons. Buzz TV Tech Support gave me this unfortunate input: "The SoC used in the PS6 does not support configurable shutdown power. This is a hardware limitation, not a software setting. If this feature were technically possible to add, we would add it". After completing the initial setup with the PS6 connected directly to the LG G3 OLED TV, I moved it into my electronics cabinet and plugged it into my A/V receiver that is connected via a top-quality 8k HDMI cable run through the wall to the recessed TV. However, my high-end receiver does not sense the PS6 as turning ON when it just wakes up from Standby mode, so does not power on and neither does the TV. HDMI-CEC has functioned perfectly with my previously installed Buzz X5, Formuler Z11 Pro Max, Mecool KM2, Onn 4k, and lately an Onn 4k Plus when identically connected to the A/V receiver. All were able to turn entire system on and off with a single remote using HDMI-CEC. As a test, I unplugged the PS6 with all system devices shutdown and then plugged it back in. The PS6 powered up and booted normally, the receiver sensed it starting and powered up as did the TV -- the same successful start sequence as all the other previous devices. So, if there was a Power Option feature to set Shutdown vs Standby (as there is in the Buzz X5 and other Buzz devices), the PS6 HDMI-CEC would work just fine in controlling all the Home Theater system devices during startup and shutdown. My wife just can't deal over the long-term with having to power up all the devices with separate remotes and then selecting the right input port in the receiver each time at startup. So, I may have to part ways with my PS6. Quote
nbs. Posted yesterday at 12:50 AM Posted yesterday at 12:50 AM What if after you turn p6 on you hold power button for a couple of seconds and then hit ok? This is the restart. Quote
cyrowth Posted 37 minutes ago Author Posted 37 minutes ago nbs, thanks for your help. My wife is going to be the primary user and is unwilling/unable to deal with the complications the PS6 presents compared to other boxes. Unfortunately, I packed it up and returned it yesterday. I'll wait and see the details of the new G-Series box. If it doesn't have a Power Option, I'll probably just get a Ugoos AM9 Pro. I'll continue using my X5 until then. Thanks again to everyone who advised me along the way. I think my setup may be a special case. Quote
