I was not able to program my TV/STB power button to turn the unit on/off. But, the unit goes in standby mode after a few minutes of no input and pressing the volume up on your tv/stb remote will turn the unit on. So, this worked for me.

You have to turn it on by the remote. Then you can make choice as to amplifying the voices or the sound effects

After I turn on TV I just go 1 up on the volume and it turns on. I don't think there is a setting to turn on automaticaly when tv turns on, but I havn't tried to look either. I love the unit.

It turns on with the tv... it learns your remote signal. Also the volume is also controlled simultaneously with the tv.... no extra buttons to push.

I didn't came with the manual.. I just. Use it for the blue ray . The tv have the control too... I think is easy to programed.

I agree with the first two answers. As long as the master outlet the TV is plugged into is powerd, the tv should respond to the tv remote. The slave outlets work only when the master outlet's load is drawing power, meaning the in your case when the tv is turned on.

Have you counted backwards from 10 after turning it on? It is not immediate. Most tv's are. This one takes a moment. Try waiting.

Once you program your remote (tv or cable, whichever you use), both tv and zvox turn on when you turn on your tv. You can still use the zvox remote to change setting (surround1, surround2 etc) or to enhance dialog, but you do not have to use zvox remote to turn on, change volume, or turn off. To program is easy; follow instructions on sheet inclosed in box and the zvox display (in red on the front). You may have to repeat a few times, but when it says repeat, just repeat until it takes.

Throw the manual out. I had trouble too the first time I set it up. Really frustrated. All I can say is that its plug n play. Very simple to use. The transmitter can be off at all times and you don't need to turn it on, just make sure both ends are plugged into their subjective devices. Step 1: Plug everything inStep 2: Turn on your TVBy turning on your TV the receiver will start to blink blue and auto connect to the transmitter and turn that on from red to blue as well. If it doesn't turn on only hit the button on the receiver then wait. If it still doesn't work then try bringing the two units closer together. Throw the manual out.

Yes, the Tivo remote power off/on also powers our ZVox off/on. The Tivo volume/mute control also controls the ZVox volume/mute. I don't recall the exact steps, but you go thru the Tivo settings menu to get to procedure. I do recall that it took several tries before I got all three ZVox functions working with the tivo remote. Just have patience and once you get it set up it's great.

It should work for you on standby, unless your TV draws a considerable amount of current in standby. There is an adjustment which allows one to adjust the level of current that it senses before it turns on / turns off.

None. the only issue I have is that there are no buttons on the TV itself, so you have to use the remote to power on/off the TV.

I am not 100% sure since its been a while, but I think it does not automatically turn on after power up and return to the channel. you should ask the seller.

No, mine turns right on. May need to check your ground wire and also the remote wire.

Once programmed with other device codes such as DVD unit, it successfully turns the unit on and off (after pushing the DVD button). Unable to use it with a very old stereo amplifier since none of product codes work and I would expect the coding is for more modern equipment. The codes can be found on line at Vizio by looking for your TV/remote users manual.

If the room is dark it will turn on anytime. It has to have movement & dark. I love mine!

If it is a DVR, it needs to be on in order to record your programs even if you aren't watching TV. Even if it is a standard receiver, it can take upwards of 5 minutes (or more!) for the receiver to acquire the signal and download the guide information. This could potentially be a big inconvenience if you have to wait 5-10 minutes after you turn on the receiver before you can start watching TV. Check the auto-power-off settings for your receiver, most will let you set it to power off automatically after a period of no activity.In terms of power usage, it doesn't make much difference if the receiver is "off" (standby) or "on" in most cases.

The sony TV has an option of switching between the TV and Audio system speakers. I use that feature. Also, as you said, when I turn on my TV, the HTS turns on. So that works for me. As far as electricity is concerned, as long as the amplifier is not working, the electricity used should be minimal even though the receiver is on. Am I right?

after I installed mine and turned on TV it worked normally so maybe you need to reinstall as may not be seated properly. If that's not it must have other problems
