artéfacts dentelés restants après la compression.

Hi, I have a question. I connected the receiver to the TV via HDMI-1, and when I turn off the TV or unplug the receiver, the receiver also turns off and doesn't turn back on unless I reconnect it to the TV. Thank you very much in advance for your response, it's very important.
