So, I haven’t posted an update on that other thread yet because I’m still getting things set up :-). I did get the Totem Winds . Music sounds great. Surround sounds good too. I haven’t really adjusted things properly yet. One problem is that the Yamaha microphone thingy only has about 15 feet of wire. My receiver is in the other room so I can’t reach to the listening position.
On the auto-on problem, I was hoping to just keep using my firestick remote for all tv/movie stuff. It turns on the yamaha and TV fine. Trying to keep TV simple for the family. I would think Hegel would have a trigger to turn it on but I don’t see anything in the manuals. I may just leave it on all the time by turning the standby feature off.
