(I tried searching for anything related to this but couldn’t find anything online or in this sub so I’ve included both codes for anyone who tried to search for this in the future)

I’m not the most tech savvy person but generally can make stuff work through searches and following guides

My household has been having an issue with the Apple TV and it’s affects on the avr and tv, specifically when on another input on the avr and the atv4 goes to sleep and it shuts down the LG tv. The ATV4 is connected to CBL/SAT and we have a switch and desktop in other inputs. So generally what will happen is we will be watching content or playing a game on another input and because I had the atv4 running, it will go to sleep and suddenly everything shuts off.

After looking into it I’ve set the Apple TV device in sleep settings to “Never” so it won’t ever go to sleep. But this means it won’t ever go into low power mode automatically.

So I can turn off the ATV4 manually either with the remote or the app on my phone but this will again shut down the LG TV (but not the AVR)

Is there a workaround for this? Is this a CEC thing? Or a pass through thing?

(I’ve intentionally repeated terms and device names here for future search result optimisation in the hopes that if anyone has an answer it will be more likely to help someone else in the future)

have you tried adjusting the CEC settings on your AVR and TV? sometimes that can help with power management between devices. it's worth a shot to see if it resolves the issue.
