I just got a S90C QD-OLED TV. I have my Sony STR-AN1000 connected to the eARC HDMI input. I would like to have the TV default to "TV Speakers" for audio when I turn on the TV. Instead it powers on my AVR and switches the audio to it. I don't need/want the surround sound when watching normal programming.
I tried turning CEC off on the TV but that also defeats eARC and then even if I manually turn on my AVR I can't switch the audio to it when watching a movie. I turned off Control Via HDMI on the AVR but that didn't work either.
Is there a way to disable CEC on the TV without also disabling the eARC funtion as well. The eARC seems to still be in the Auto Mode when CEC is disabled but it is grayed out. The option to switch the audio to the AVR disappears in the settings bar when CEC is disabled.
