Hi @Quixadhal Well, you haven’t upset me so far, anyway 🤗 First let me clarify that when I say ‘switched off’ I always mean ‘put into Standby’, unless I add ‘and pull the plug out’. But every usage I have made above is of ‘Standby’. Second, I don't think Sony have ever understood the idea that a TV can be regarded as secondary to a receiver, just a passive monitor attached to it, except when watching broadcast TV. Even in the old analogue days, I had to change how I set my systems up to be different to how Sony thought they should be set up, because of this. Thirdly, anything like what you are looking for with control would need Sony to go to a solely proprietary solution, only operable with compatible Sony kit. Despite Sony branding it BraviaSync, the control system in use is standard CEC (Consumer Electronics Control); and despite everybody else branding it with some weird and wonderful name of their own, it’s all CEC, and so has a chance of interoperating, even across brands. But only a chance, because (a) manufacturers can pick and choose which CEC functions they will implement, and which they won’t on each of their devices and (b) there is enough leeway in the specifications of CEC for manufacturers to do the same CEC function differently. Though (b) shouldn’t apply between two devices both made by Sony, you can’t rule it out. I suggest a couple of things at this point; (i) read up on CEC - Wikipedia is a good starting point - and (ii) explore which CEC (BraviaSync) options the TV, and separately the receiver, offer, and whether any of them are configurable on either device. When you’ve got your head round it, consider these thoughts of mine:- You haven’t yet addressed what input the TV was last manually switched to; if a device is switched on by CEC, and then switched off again, then if it changes input at all, it changes to whatever it was last set to manually. So try, as I said earlier, manually setting it to HDMI 3, and see if it now stays there. Another reason it might switch to component is because this is now the only input with a signal. Is there a signal? Do you leave the PS2 switched on all the time? If so, why? You said “ If I power up the PS3, it will force the TV (NOT the receiver) to switch inputs, even though it is connected via the receiver.” But force the TV to switch inputs from what to what? The TV is left on HDMI 3, you said, the input from the receiver; it’s always on this input when you are using devices on the receiver; when you switch from Xbox to PS3, the switch takes place entirely within the receiver, and nothing changes on the TV at all, except that the video and audio the receiver is feeding it now comes from the PS3, not the Xbox. It’s important you think about this correctly, as confusion here will lead to error. Now here’s the strange thing. You think that the TV detects ‘no signal’ when the PS3 is turned off, and so switches to its only live input, the PS2 on component video. (But as above, why is it live, and what happens in this scenario when it isn’t?) But the receiver doesn’t do this? If it did what you think the TV does, wouldn’t it switch to the live Xbox input when you turn the PS3 off? If I’m right though, the TV will stop reverting to the PS2 input once you have set the TV manually to HDMI3, while the receiver is in standby. And the receiver might start reverting to the Xbox input, if you make this the ‘last manual input’ the receiver has experienced. Though I am less sure about this, since any or all of the above will depend on what CEC features are fixed, which absent, and which, if any, switchable, on the TV and on the receiver.
