  • TV manufacturers can choose to support any subset of CEC that they want. Not all TVs with CEC support will support power control (both ‘On’ and ‘Standby’). See your TV manual for details, or ask your TV manufacturer.
  • TVs will have their own activation setting for CEC if they support any CEC commands. The setting on the Apple TV box alone is not enough.
