Hi Va76,

Thank you for your question. You don't need to turn on the receiver for the pass-through to work. Please check the link below for more information about the pass-through:

For automatic switching of tv speakers to the audio system's speakers, you need to turn on the HDMI control on both TV and receiver. You can check the link below for HDMI control of this unit:
