    I have my very old Panasonic home cinema (Samsung HT-C5500) plugged into my TV (Samsung UE556530) on HDMI 2 (CEC) and the Aura plugged into one of the HDMI inputs on the Home Cinema.

    I tend to turn on the home cinema first which then turns on the TV and Aura and when I click the small power button on the remote which controls the TV it will turn everything off.

    I have HDMI Control ON and the Power Off Control set to All.

    Also, I have a daily programme reminder set at 5PM to BBC1 HD to ensure the Aura is fully awake and guide populated.

    I fiddled around with TV led CEC control versus Aura led control.

    Switching on/off the TV switches on/off my Marantz, but not the Aura.

    Switching on/off the Aura, switches on/off the TV and switches the Marantz on only.

    I ended up programming my Aura remote to control the TV via IR using the smaller on/off button. I can turn off the TV+Marantz using the smaller on/off button. I then press the larger on/off button to switch on/off the Aura.

    It is a faff, but at least I can use the one remote to switch everything on/off!

    Why didn't I think of that?! So simple but perfect.

    I use a "one-4-all" remote control to achive the same thing. Works for me and has the bounus that SWMBO has her own "personal" remote.

    I have a similar but opposite problem - I don't want the Aura to switch on the TV/AVR. This is because I bring the Aura out of deep standby and if the TV is on while boot-up is taking place, I finish up with a blank screen which is difficult to get out of.

    My setup is: Aura > Marantz NR1506 > Sony KD-43XE8005 (HDMI3/Arc).

    On the Aura, HDMI-CEC is Off and One-Key-Power is Off.

    The Aura remote is not set to control the TV/AVR.

    This generally works fine for me using the Aura remote to control it and Volume/Mute. I use the Sony remote to switch On/Off the TV/AVR.

    However, there is one oddity. My Aura comes out of deep standby at 05.30 and records BBC Breakfast from 06.00. When I later switch on the Aura to watch the recording, it also switches on the TV/AVR. It only does this when it's recording, otherwise it performs exactly as I want.
