Q5 and HDMI-CEC problem
« on: June 04, 2015, 03:19:57 PM »
Some user have problem with HDMI-CEC, control with only one remote control many device.
When Q5 HDMI is connect to AV-receiver all device lost CEC link ,so it's not possible control other device(TV, PS3) with AV-receiver controller or with from TV remote controller can't control AV-receiver.  :-\

DIsconnect Q5 (not turn-off, must be removed HDMI cable) all work:
- AV receiver control with CEC all device (TV, PS3 ...)
- TV controll AV receiver

I have only just purchased the Q10 and noticed since i got it the ARC(Audio Return Channel) feature of my Onkyo stopped working. After a lot of messing about it appears the issue above is effecting me. Problem is, even with the unit poweroff completely, the ARC does not work. The only way to re-enable the ARC feature is to disconnect the HDMI cable from the amp completely. Is this a firmware bug of a hardware issue? If a firmware issue, is it going to be addressed as it renders the unit somewhat useless for those who use an amplifier with ARC + auto power on.

I have cut pin 13( CEC ) on HDMI cable, now CEC and ARC work.

5 minute 0$, I used a really thin paper clip to first jam the pin back

I have the same issue with Q10, yamaha AMPLI, PANASONIC PLASMA TV.
With Q10 linked to YAMAHA AMPLY, ARC is not mor working. I have to remove the HDMI CABLE from q10 to recover the function.
Any fix?
