Soundbar won't turn on automatically
Soundbar won't turn on automatically
Tuesday
About a week ago, I purchased a new Samsung TV (Crystal TU8000) and LG Soundbar (SN6Y). I connected the soundbar to the TV via HDMI Arc, and this worked perfectly for a couple of hours: the soundbar would turn on automatically when I turned on the tv and I could adjust the volume and the soundbar would automatically turn off. But then the soundbar suddenly stopped automatically turning on, so now I have to manually turn the soundbar on each time (then I can adjust the sound with the tv remote and turn the soundbar off with the tv remote). I called both Samsung and LG support about the issue, but neither was very helpful because they only understood their brand's side of my home theater setup. The soundbar will turn on immediately if I change the Samsung sound output to HDMI, but this resets itself after I turn the tv off.
I realize this a rather nit-picky problem, but one of the reasons I got this setup was so I'd only have to use one remote. Any suggestions?

TBaggens,
Have you activated the HDMI-CEC in the Samsung TV?
