HDMI Device Control (HDMI-CEC)
Most X1 TV Boxes connected to your TV via HDMI cable are capable of the HDMI Device Control (HDMI-CEC) feature.
The HDMI-CEC feature places your TV Box in Standby mode when your TV is turned off, and automatically wakes up your TV Box when the TV is turned on.
Press the xfinity button on your remote to automatically switch the TV to your X1 TV Box input, so you don’t have to manually change TV inputs. This will only work if HDMI-CEC is enabled on your TV Box and TV.
Note: The HDMI-CEC setting may have a different name depending on your TV manufacturer. Refer to your owner’s manual or search online for how to enable CEC on your TV.
This feature is turned on by default on your Xfinity TV Box. You can turn it off by going to Settings > Device Settings > Power Preferences > HDMI Device Control (HDMI-CEC) > Off or On.
