CEC Commands

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) allows interconnected HDMI devices to communicate and respond to one remote control. The formula for CEC mode selection commands is as follows:

CEC Command + Control (Off / Auto / Port1) [Enter]

For example, to use the Port1 CEC setting, type the following:

cec port1 [enter]
