I have a KD-49XG9005 connected by HDMI (ARC) to a Sony STR-DH790 amplifier and Youview set top box. I have a problem in getting the audio to be seen to be correctly routed. When switching on to use the Youview box (I use a Harmony 650 remote). The audio is always routed correctly to the amplifier but the tv shows alternately the messages ‘tv speakers active’ and ‘audio system active’ at each switch on. Although the sound always comes through the amplifier if I look at the tv menu it shows that either the tv speakers or the audio system speakers are active (dependant on the tv message displayed). It seems that although the sound is routed correctly the tv does not always recognise this!

I also have a problem in that if I use the tv tuners at switch on (using the Harmony to set inputs etc) I have to reset the amplifier input to ‘tv’ as the tv sends a command to the amplifier to change its input to ‘mediabox’ during its start up sequence.

any help or guidance will be appreciated.
