Is there a PS6 Power Setting to Select Shutdown or Standby ??

[cyrowth]

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 ?

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.

What if after you turn p6 on you hold power button for a couple of seconds and then hit ok?

This is the restart.

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.

Most google boxes I know do NOT have a power off function.  Most is just automatic standby.  

But the issue you were having is probably just some HDMI signal than needs to go low to allow your TV to detect that the device is not fully powered.  Not sure what control Buzz would have over the individual HDMI signals. 

Instead of requesting a full power off option, I think what is needed, is more of a way to force the HDMI to go into a lower disconnect state so external devices can detect a true "no signal" when it is in sleep mode.

That may be a better solution.  My Onn 4k Plus does only go into Standby mode and the receiver successfully detects it coming out of standby.  So, no reason your suggestion couldn't work as well as shutdown.

Emporium,

      in another thread, Watchwally posted a similar issue with his PS6 when moving from a Firestick -- where HDMI-CEC worked fine to turn On/Off all home theater devices with the Firestick remote.  He has not been able to get the PS6 to work the same way.  The common denominator between our two setups is a Yamaha receiver.  It could be that Yamaha receivers are just more finicky with HDMI-CEC signals ??  If he finds a solution, I hope he will post it.

Sad to say that I was unable to find a solution. I have disabled HDMI-CEC and use the BT-500 TV and STB power buttons to separately power the TV and PS6 on/off. I either use my Yamaha remote or my feet (walk over to my Yamaha Receiver) to control my receiver. A very unsatisfactory situation given that my Firestick remote controlled everything perfectly for 10% of the price of a PS6!

That said, I really like my PS6s (I have three), they work perfectly on my other two TVs that just have sound bars attached rather than the whole home theatre set-up. I also really like my Yamaha receiver and can't justify replacing it in the hope a new receiver will play nice with my PS6. Because the current situation works but is less than satisfactory, eventually I will either replace the Yamaha, a PS6 update will fix the problem or someone else will figure out a solution.

I should add that Yamaha Canada support was incredibly responsive and helpful but hold the position that their device is working as it should, as proven by how it works so well with other devices, e.g. the Firestick and all other devices in my home theatre.
