I'd call this in and ask. It may be an oversight of the firmware and a fine reason to return it for a model that works right.

We have the following step:
DirectTV receiver + iTV + DVD player into HDMI switch
Switch output into soundbar HDMI input
Soundbar HDMI output to TV.
It all works, except that more often than not, when turning everything on, the soundbar switches to D.IN, forcing us to re switch to HDMI. Sometimes this happens a couple of times, and it is very ennoying. Is ther a way to force the soundbar to stay on HDMI input?
There is nothing connected on the other inputs.
