I recently bought and hooked up a Sony HT A9 to my LG C9 OLED. And that works ... but to my surprise now, when I power on any other connected device (Nintendo Switch, PS5, AppleTV) when my system is off, this powers up the TV, which then powers up the Sony. Perhaps this is the intended behavior, but sometimes it get wonky ... like I'll power up the Switch, but the AppleTV also comes on, and the Sony might be outputting the AppleTV or the Switch. I actually want to go back to the old days where my universal remote powers on the TV, the device I want, changes TV input to device. That is how the system worked before all this Sony HT A9 eARC business. Did exactly what I asked with no randomness. Any ideas?
