I just purchased a new 77OLED C3 to replace my five+ year old 65E7P, the latter of which worked seamlessly with my Yamaha A/V receiver. I had one HDMI cable pulled through my wall to connect to the A/V box. When my new tv was installed on Saturday Sept 9, I did not check out the connectivity issues until Sunday, when I noticed that when I turned my tv on, instead of automatically connecting to my cable box, it brought up either the home screen of my Apple box or the home screen of my blueray player. i had to manually set my receiver to the cable setting to get it to bring up my broadcast stations. I called Costco Concierage and they could not resolve the issue so they connected me with LG technical support. They also could not resolve the issue and proceeded to tell me that they did not support the connection set up to my a/v Receiver and that I should connect my Apple box and blueray box directly to the tv, requiring pulling two more HDMI cables through the wall. This did not make any sense to me, and LG was at a loss to explain what the technical issue was, even though this issue has been brought up on other other forums and a You Tube video was also made by one customer who was irate about this issue. Not sure if this is a defect on my set or a problem with LG connectivity software. LG should have opened a ticket on this issue and escalated the problem for a fix. I am on the verge of returning this tv for either a Samsung or Sony OLED set but wonder if they too will not work seamlessly with my home theater.
