Power on/off commands to tv/audio receiver

Hey there Stiff!

I'm sorry to hear about the issue. I noticed that you're part of the Xbox One preview program. Double check that your TV's firmware is updated and if that doesn't do the trick, you'll want to head over to the

preview program forums and check with them there. Preview builds can sometimes have different troubleshooting steps than normal so you'll want to work with them in reporting the issue as well.

Thanks for understanding.

I find this incredibly annoying as well--I wish they would add more control over the exact command to be used for power on/off of tv and audio receiver instead of these power toggles. I want it to use my input source select for the receiver and power on
for tv when it comes on, and power off for both the receiver and tv when it powers off. The toggle is prone to errors when things aren't in a specific state before someone says "xbox on" or "xbox turn off". I also wish if I manually press the power button
on the box if it would just shut that off instead of turning back on my tv/receiver.

I have a Vizio soundbar connected to my TV. I ran the Audio Receiver Setup on the Xbox One and now the X1 powers on/off the soundbar along with my entire TV/DVR system.

As for volume control, if you've ran the Audio Receiver Setup then you can control the Soundbar via either voice commands or the Xbox One Smartglass App (the volume controls on Smartglass will no longer control the TV volume, however, as they'll become dedicated
to the soundbar--I presume the same may be me true for voice commands).

Steps taken this morning:

-Powered on console (receiver came on, TV did not)

-Manually turned on TV using a remote control

-Went into settings and removed TV

-Re-added TV using model number entry

-Closed out of settings to Home

-Powered down console by holding power button (Receiver did NOT shut off, nor did TV)

-Unplugged console, set timer for 60 seconds

-Manually turned off receiver and TV

-Powered on console (receiver came on, TV did not)

-Went into settings again, changed Device Control power options from On/Off to Toggle

-Closed out Settings to Home

-Powered down console by holding power button (Receiver and TV again did NOT shut off)

-Unplugged console, set timer for 60 seconds

-Powered on console (receiver and TV stayed on as normal but TV SHOULD have toggled off, yeah?)

-Went into settings just to look around

-Used controller to send "Turn off console" command

-Receiver turned off, TV did not

-Manually turned off TV using remote (note the TV accepts both Power Off and Toggle commands from remote)

-Used controller to power on Xbox

-Receiver powered on as expected

-TV did not power on

-Used controller to send "Turn off console" command (yes, I remember how to do this without the TV being on)

-Left for work because it's that time, haha

Please help!

They shouldn't be using "power toggle" commands for the tv and receiver--they should be using the discrete "power on" and "power off" commands when doing "xbox on" or "xbox turn off"--this is the source of the problem that Microsoft should be fixing!
