Zidoo Z1000 Pro CEC HDMI Control issues
« on: November 11, 2021, 03:33:47 PM »
Has anyone else had issues with the Z1000 Pro HDMI CEC control ?

Mine is doing something really weird, I have a Marantz SR7010 and PHILIPS 65OLED805,

I have the CEC set up so when  turn on my t.v it fires up the Marantz, also when I use the t.v Netflix it fires the audio back to the Marantz through arc which all works perfect, as soon as I connected my zidoo it has taken over, when you turn on the T.V it fires up the Z1000 and puts it on that channel which I don't want - I want it on the Skybox as it was.
So I have set the settings on the Z1000 so that CEC control is on but switched off (switch on t.v from Z100) & (switch on Z1000 with T.V) This does not work the t.v still triggers the Z1000 to come on, the only way to stop it is to turn off the Z1000 CEC control totally, this is where it gets weird, when you switch it off completely it also stops the t.v tunring on/off the Marantz and completely disables the ARC so no sound on Marantz from Netlix on the t.v, if you turn the CEC back on on the Z1000 it works again - something is not right with the Z1000

Conflicts with (e)ARC are very well known. Getting a Lindy HDMI CEC blocker bypasses the problem.

The last new FW 6.3.90 for Z9X includes a good update for HDMI-CEC.

In fact it now works with my AMP+TV for designated port selection and Volume Control on my AMP.
Next week an update will follow for all models.

Not using (e)ARC myself so could not test that.

I have 6.4.20 installed on my Z1000 Pro and I've tried the lindy blocker on the Z1000 Pro and mine does everything the OP said it did to his. Receiver doesn't turn on tv anymore but TV will turn on Z1000 Pro even with the CEC turned off on the Z1000 Pro. Lindy blocker didn't block anything and I tried a couple of them, even tried one at each end of the HDMI at the same time, connected to the Z1000 Pro and receiver.
