I'm sure it's a handshake issue. In Pure Direct the monitor and BD do not work independently when the BD is "on"(same as before). In other words, once you turn on the BD player, the monitor will come on along with it a few seconds later...if you then turn off the monitor, the BD player will turn off. If the BD is left off, the monitor can be turned on and off without triggering the BD...It's only when the BD is turned on is there an issue. On a separate note...in "pure direct" I can turn the monitor off and still receive the TV signals.
I'll have a look at it during the daytime this week...I remember having problems with the various remotes(4) when I set up everything a while back and I've never liked the fact of having the monitor on just to listen to some CDs.

When I first hooked up my new tv, and I put a CD in the blu-ray player, my TV would automatically turn on. I went into the setup mode of the tv and Samsung had an option that was turned on, called Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) and I turned it off. Now no problem. Never knew that existed. I’ll have to look and see if my old DLP has that not that I’d ever use but now I’m curious

As Catbrat mentioned, I too am pretty sure it has to do with the HDMI CEC, it is a very handy feature but a bit of a pain for just playing Cd's.
What you could do is use the optical out or coax out from the BR/dvd player opposed to the HDMI and have the cd input linked to the proper digital source, this will bypass the HDMI-CEC and allow the respective compnents to be on and keep the TV off. Yes it is one more cable in the works but not a big deal for one more short cable and the signal quality wouldn't be any different from a cd on either the HDMI or the coax/optical out.

Just turn off the CEC. If you really want all of your components turning on and off at the same time get a remote which supports macros.
Although some devices have configurable CEC, like my TV and receiver, I can say that I want input switching, but not power on/off.
Which leads me to say that the optical/coax thing may not work, as powering on the player may cause the receiver to automatically switch to that HDMI input, which would then turn on the TV.

Any of you guys playing CDs through the PS3? Whenever a CD is played through our PS3 I have to go to the on screen menu to actually play a disc. Don't know, it could just be a programming/setup issue because I've never paid much attention due to the fact that if I usually play CDs via a DVD player it's usually done with the Oppo.

I use an Optical audio from my blu-ray and still had the same problem until I turned the CEC off.

I have my Denon BD connected to my Denon 2809 via HDMI but I can only play cd's with the monitor "on". I've wondered about this, once I turn on the BD the monitor comes on with it(reads "DENON")...turn the monitor off, the BD turns off too. (?) You should disable HDMI CEC. This way, the devices can't talk to one another and power on/off by itself. That might be your problem.

Tks Han, Catbrat advised me to try that already and in fact, it was the problem.

I recently added a Sony BD360 to my system and it has been playing CD's just fine. One less component to place in the limited space I have. I am pleased with it's performance.
