Oh? My Apple TV 4K (2021) turns on the TV and receiver when I start AirPlay, and the receiver switches the input to the AppleTV if it wasn't already on it. This works whether the TV+receiver were on or off. My TV is a Sharp from ~2013, and the receiver is a Yamaha also from around the same time.
- mwint 5y agoI haven’t tested this enough to know if it’s a real hidden feature, or just me placebo-effecting myself, but I swear it takes way less time to wake up my TV (Samsung) if I press the little TV button on the ATV remote 5x really fast. Like if I press it once, the ATV wakes up and usually the TV does, but often showing the wrong source. 5x fast consistently wakes the TV to the right input.
