What is HDMI-CEC and how does it control your devices?
HDMI-CEC lets your TV remote control other devices that are plugged in with HDMI cables. When you turn on your TV, it automatically turns on your soundbar or streaming device. You use one remote instead of several.
HDMI-CEC stands for HDMI Consumer Electronics Control. It's a feature built into HDMI cables that lets devices talk to each other and work together automatically. When HDMI-CEC is turned on, your TV becomes the main remote for everything else plugged into it. You don't need separate remotes for your soundbar or streaming device — your TV remote controls them all.
