Speaker sounds good however it does not turn on automatically when I turn on my TV. I have to continuously unplugged the entire speakers system and plug it back in every time I want to use it. This is very frustrating. I have tried multiple connections, such as an HDMI. And Bluetooth to try to fix the issue along with many others and nothing seems to work.
