In this guide, we will show you the steps to enable the HDMI-CEC feature on your TV. Nowadays, near about every Smart TV (and some non-smart TVs as well) that has an HDMI port comes with the HDMI Consumer Electronics Control feature. This provides a handy platform so that both the connected device as well as your TV are able to communicate effectively. As a result, the device connected to your TV via HDMI could exercise some degree of control over the latter.
Along the same lines, your TV would also be able to control some functionalities of the connected device. All in all, this ends up benefitting the end-user as they would have to exert minimal effort in making sure that the device and your TV interact efficiently. Let’s try and understand it with the help of an example, after which the steps to enable the HDMI-CEC feature on your TV will be discussed.

What’s the use of the HDMI-CEC feature
Suppose you have a Chromecast connected to your TV, but it’s not yet active (say your watching TV via the cable network). Now if you pick up your Android device and start casting a video from the smartphone to the Chromecast, then the latter will make use of the HDMI-CEC and instruct the TV to switch to the Chromecast’s input. This saves you from the effort of manually switching over to the HDMI port via the TV Remote.
Another handy usage of this HDMI-CEC technology is that as soon as you connect these devices to the TV’s HDMI port, they automatically pick up their name. So that is the reason why you see the name Chromecast and not the name of the port to which they are connected (such as HDMI 3, etc). With that said, let’s now turn our attention to enable this HDMI-CEC on your TV.
