This may sound stupid to a lot of you, but I just figured this out and thought I would pass it along for anybody who might find it helpful.
I just found an option in the PS3 system settings called "Control for HDMI" which allows all HDMI devices to control each other. I don't know if this setting has been there from the beginning or if it was a recent update, but I just decided to turn it on even though I was under the impression that this feature only worked with other Sony devices such as the Sony Bravia TV sets.
Well anyway, it works awesome with all my non sony hardware. I have a Pioneer 919 receiver and a Samsung LCD tv. My PS3 is connected to my pioneer receiver which is then connected to the TV.
Ever since I turned it on, my Samsung source control window on the TV displays an "Anynet HDMI PS3" option that didn't used to be there. If I click on the option, it automatically turns on the PS3. When I'm done playing I can just turn off the TV and it will turn off the PS3. Or if everything is off if I just press the PS button on the control it will turn on the TV and the PS3. All the while it passes the connection through the receiver while it is turned off and passes the audio and video to the TV set! I didn't know my receiver was capable of this. I have been turning on my receiver to get 5.1 audio from my system. Now if I want to get 5.1 I can simply turn on the receiver and it will automatically pass the audio to my 5.1 system instantly. Simply turn off the receiver and audio goes straight to the TV again.
Man this is awesome. I was under the impression this only worked under the Bravia sync. It's so great to have the option to turn off the receiver and still play when I need to keep the volume down or whatever. I'm sure I'm the last one to figure this out but I just thought I'd pass on my excitement for it.
