Joey shuts off exactly 60 seconds after I turn off the TV

[Fred Derf]

When I turn off my TV, the Joey shuts off (or goes into standby, not sure which) exactly 60 seconds later. This means that when I turn the TV back on, I have to navigate to the recorded program to resume playback, which is a PITA. Is there any way to have the Joey stay on all the time? When the TV's on, the Joey stays on.

Did you try the recall button?

 

[Fred Derf]

That's a great workaround. Thanks for the tip. I just wonder why it goes into standby so quickly.

Look for the HDMI CEC settings in your TV's menus. You should be able to disable the automatic standby for the Joey.

My TV is an 11-year old Panasonic plasma with "Viera Link" (Panasonic's name for HDMI CEC). There's no options in the menus that affect the Joey. Thanks anyway. I'll just hit Recall.

In the Joey's Menu, go to:
Settings > Remote Control > Advanced
and make sure HDMI-CEC is set to Off.
See if that helps.

It was on, so I turned it off. Didn't help, unfortunately.

Try turning the energy saving mode off in the Viera Link setup - WEll, options there are Quick Start and Save.

Maybe the next one Unselected device set to no?

Here is a link to the Manual for my TC-P42C2 - Viera link settings are at page 28 and following.

Hope the links work.

Thanks, but that didn't do it either. I wonder if it's my surround sound receiver that's doing it (Marantz NR1504)? I tried changing some settings on it, but it didn't help.

Shot in the dark, but are you using the Dish remote to turn off the TV? Because when it's on the satellite control, it'll shut off the TV and put the Joey on standby.

OMG, that was it. I feel like an idiot. If I use the TV's remote to turn it off, the Joey stays on. Thanks!

You can use the Dish Remote, just hit the select button after you hit power. That will "wake" the Joey back up before it finishes it's count down to standby mode

Or just hit the tv button on the side of the remote, then the power button. Only turns off TV.

 

[Fred Derf]

Both pieces of good advice. Thanks to all!

I actually thought that this might be the issue, but the 60 seconds threw me. I remember that countdown being five minutes, or at least more than two minutes. So, with a delay of only one minute, I assumed that something else must be going on. Silly me.

Another solution for this issue would be to switch to one of the non-voice remotes, such as the 52 or 40. Those remotes have a separate button for the TV Power, so you can turn the TV off without turning the receiver off, without putting the remote in TV Mode. Much simpler.

I wondered about that 1-minute thing, too but I know Select is the easy way of waking it up again

When I am using a 54 remote, I usually use a combination of that method and the method posted by ChadT41. I press the TV button, then the Power button, then the Sat button. Pressing the Sat button also works to make sure that the receiver stays awake, and it makes sure that the remote stays in Sat mode. It is still extra button presses compared to using the older remotes, though.
