Harman Kardon BDS 270 Auto-swaps to HDMI 2 when powering on

[Devolutionn]

Hello everyone,

My Harman Kardon BDS 270 Automatically swaps to HDMI 2 channel when I power it on. I connected it through HDMI ARC. When i already have my TV powered on, and then power on my BDS 270 it swaps to the HDMI 2 Channel. Does anyone know how to turn it off?
And the TV is a Samsung UE46ES7000

Thanks!

HDMI has a function called CEC which allows components to control each other. Check the menus of the TV and HK and see if you can find a setting that will turn it off. It is supposed to be universal but in reality different manufacturers use different commands and sometimes it screws up.

I bought a Toslink cable and turned HDMI CEC off, because when i turned HDMI CEC off with ARC connected. The BDS 270 would not work anymore.
