Disabling HDMI-CEC

Many modern televisions feature HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), which allows connected devices to automatically power on or change the inputs of the TV.

Because the Everwell player runs continuously, this feature can cause the TV to turn on unexpectedly or fight for input dominance. We recommend disabling it.

Vendor Names for HDMI-CEC

Every TV manufacturer uses a different marketing name for this feature:

  • Samsung: Anynet+

  • Panasonic: VIERA Link

  • Sharp: Aquos Link

Disabling Instructions​

Use the television's native remote control (not the Everwell remote) to open the TV's core Settings Menu.

Step 2: Locate HDMI Options​

Navigate to the Setup, System, or HDMI Settings section.

Step 3: Toggle OFF​

Locate the manufacturer's specific HDMI-CEC control setting (using the names listed above) and toggle it to OFF.
