How to turn on A/V Equipment with HDMI Cables

The most secure way to create a strong handshake is to switch on the TV first and let it boot up. Then turn on the receiver, then turn on the cable box and Blu-ray player. Only think of yourself as turning on the TV and moving backwards to the receiver and then the pieces through the cables. It could be that the remote switches on the modules in a certain sequence. You don’t get a successful handshake much of the time as a result.
