Using HDMI CEC Messages

The DHD Controller accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the DHD Controller can perform the following actions:

Turn itself and the display device on and select the correct input when the source component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program.

Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the DHD Controller.

Turn the source component off when the DHD Controller is turned off (unless the source component is in playback mode).

Change its OSD language when a similar change is made at the source.

To use CEC, connect your CEC-compatible sources to the HDMI inputs on the V-50HD/V-63HD. Set the CEC option to On (refer to CEC on page 54). Additional steps may be needed to enable CEC at the source. Refer to the documentation for your source device for more information.
