My theater takes 40 seconds to come fully online and be stabilized at my most common input at the start (Tivo). I know why this happens (AVP startup, Power amplifier startup, projector startup, and lamp warmup, room light diming, shades dropping, main doors closing) The Theater is fully under the control of a PC so all of the operations are overlapped, with the Projector having the (controlling) longest delay. My solution is to tell Alexa to start the theater a few minutes before I am ready to watch.

Fantastic use of Alexa. Warming up the theater.

We use "please wait" screens on the remotes/touchpanels. Obviously doesn't change how long it takes but it sets the expectation for clients and becomes "normal" wait time.

When Sonos hit the streets, there was a local freinemy that programmed AVR’s to switch to CD (Sonos in) and stay on at a preset volume- with the off macro. Ergo, any AVR can be a “fast start” AVR... Heh, heh.

I have done this with TVs. Not recently because of HDMI. Back in the day it was common to have component and composite video so i would have to send an input command to the TV.

The off macro had the component input in it so the TV got set back to the most commonly used input.

This is my approach too. In the case of AVR "Standby pass through" and always ON cable boxes, the system will typically start up as fast as the TV or projector can throw up an image.

Use the quick select or button presets.
That turns on AVR, selects input, volume, etc.

I do that on my turnoff macro (setting it to most commonly used source).
That way, on next PON, clients hear something while control system's macro is running.
