Playing CD's without the TV being on... - Blu-ray Forum

thelastz28 · 01-13-2010, 07:46 AM

I just tried to play a CD in my Sony BD player (thru my AVR) and for some reason the TV needs to be on for it to work. If I turn the TV off, my BD player turns off too. Is there a way to keep the TV off and play CD's? Thanks for the help.

Do you engage PURE DIRECT mode?

Probably not, should I?

PURE DIRECT mode gives you a better sound when playing music media, and on some (not all) Yamaha units it disengages the video.

Also, what kind of remote are you using? And have you set it up properly for CD mode?

I'm using the Yamaha remote. I haven't really set it up for CD's yet. Could you please walk me thru it, if it's not too much to ask. Thanks.

It's not too much to ask, but I don't use the Yamha remote and have never set it up. I use a Logitech unit and it works like a charm.

Maybe some of the other guys can help you with it later. Besides, I'm off to work in about a half hour or so.
