it will boil down to the same thing.
the television is sending the wrong code
or
the receiver is reading the sent code wrong
every data code is a pulse of electricity.
but
if the pulse of energy is too big, it would then be picked up by a protection circuit.
an example..
if you used bb's or pellets to transfer data, then trying to pass along a marble would be a size difference and the receiver says 'no way!!'
may be a bad example between the size difference.
because the size ratio might be smaller.
but
the principle is quite the same, as it is a voltage reading.
if i sent 1 volt with pulses, it might be recognized as a code.
but if i sent 1.4 volts with pulses, then the receiver's protection circuit might say 'NOTHING more than 1.1 volt... too bad, so sad'
(these numbers are only an example, as i dont know the real voltages.)
i also dont know if the receiver has a protection circuit, the other person might know more than me.
but i find it strange that the television will send a 'power cycle' code when turned on, and the 'power cycle' code doesnt work with the receiver turned off.
so it makes logical sense to say the receiver has a protection circuit to prevent damage from excessive voltage coming in through an input.
because the receiver doesnt turn on when the television turns on, it is like saying the receiver would shut itself off to protect itself from damage.. but since it is already turned off, it simply remains turned off.
could be a real problem with the televisions codes voltage.
but
it could still be a problem with the receiver's threshold value.
really unfair to blame either one without dumping the data from each piece of 'hdmi communication' memory.
a person with experience programming ic chips might be able to help learn which piece of hardware is the real problem.
maybe the receiver is slightly sensitive, and the television is slightly exagerated.. together they are a problem.
funny, because those words could be flipped around.
sensitive capacitors (or insensitive resistors) would lead to slightly more voltage output for each hdmi code.
and
if the receiver was programmed to be really strict to prevent itself from failure, that would be considered an exageration if the programmed value is more than the circuit can handle.
extra care can lead to problems.
