Bob,
I've included an online guide for setting up Anynet+ devices.
Perhaps this will help explain a few things. If you have further questions, please let me know.

I have an HT-X710 that I am using with my LN52A850. I can't get the sound to reliably come on when turning on the TV. Sometimes it will come on for a sec or two (and then go off) when turning on the cable box and TV, sometimes not at all. I have to go into the TV anynet menu and turn the receiver on, then in about 4-5 sec or so it will come on. I am using an optical cable for sound out of TV to the HT. Isn't there some way to make the HT come on automatically with the TV??
