Just got an Apple TV and connected to BeoVision 7 MK5. Apple TV manages to wake up BV7, but not with its own HDMI. The PUC-connected STB decoder starts up instead, from another HDMI. Any idea what could be wrong?
How are you switching on the ATV? From its own remote or the Beo4 remote via another PUC? If the latter, is sounds as if you have named/allocated the hdmi sockets incorrectly in the BV7's setup menu.
From its own remote. The BV7 gets the wake-up signal from the Apple TV's HDMI, then, all by itself, switches to this other HDMI, performs the PUC operation and is ready from the STB decoder. Strange.
I may have a strangely similar problem, however it is not as annoying. Currently I have the DTV button on my Beo4 mapped to the AppleTV (HDMI2) on my BV11. Let's say I'm watching something via the ATV solely using the Beo4, but for some reason I need to use the Apple TV remote, I have to "wake" it up, right? So I press a button on the ATV remote... once the ATV remote is activated, the TV switches to the HDMI1 source, once I switch back to the ATV source, I can use the AppleTV remote just fine, it is only in the "wake up" process that the BV11 switches sources. Weird, I don't know what could be causing it. Maybe it is something similar?

Sal and Sigmund's problems sound similar and I would suspect the TV software. Perhaps worth reporting to B&O?
Is it possible to turn off the hdmi CEC on either of the BVs mentioned - could be worth checking the behaviour with it off, and/or then try toggling it off/on to see if that improves things.
Something similar to Sal's problem shows up here as well. The BV7 may suddenly shift from Apple TV to the STB decoder. I don't know how to reproduce this yet, as the Apple TV is new. On startup, however, the problem is 100% reproducible: Apple TV starts up itself, then the BV7, but in STB mod, from the STB's HDMI port, not the Apple TV's port.
Guy, what does it mean to turn off the hdmi CEC on the BV? Is it the AUTO SELECTION on the setup menu? I have tried to switch between ON and OFF, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The corresponding switch on the Apple TV to not start the TV via HDMI works well and may be a temporary workaround to the problem until it is fixed: to enforce the TV to wake up manually.
If you suspect the TV software, what would be the consequences? A serviceperson with a software fix?
Thanks to everybody for your responses and suggestions!
Hi,
Apple TV 4 detects via HDMI to which TV model it is connected to. If a BV7 is detected it sends the „TV“ source IR command out of the ATV remote every time you wake it up from sleep. If this source is not coupled to the ATV you will instead see the picture of your STB or internal tuner.
You can either disable this completely via ATV settings or in BV settings connect the ATV HDMI socket to the TV source.
Not a bug but a feature... ;-)
BR,
BeoMotion.
That makes sense! In the CONNECTIONS menu, the STB has the TV source on AV2, and Apple TV got the PC source on AV5, the only port that was left.
What would be the best strategy to change this? My remote is a Beo6, if that matters. Would the PUC driven STB be offended by not being the TV source? If not, is there a way for me to assign the TV source to the Apple TV at AV5?

Thanks BeoMotion, I looked in the ATV settings and found the "Home Theater Control" and set that to Off, that has solved the source switching upon Apple Remote wake. I didn't even know that option existed -- thanks again!

Unless you want to reprogram your entire Beo6 you might just want to switch off this feature in the settings of the ATV.

No problem :-)
