You may have to teach the remote your TV. Home, Home, Settings, Remote Control, TV. From there find your TV and that should fix that. It is important to note that when you press the power button to turn your equipment off, the TV will go off and the receiver looks like it stays on. In fact, the receiver does stay on, for 5 minutes, and then shuts off. This is the way it is supposed to be. That way if you shut your equipment off by mistake you can turn it back on and not lose your buffer.
