How to use TV remote with ONN 4k Streaming BOX with HDMI CEC (Google TV)
3Using your TV's remote with the ONN 4K Streaming Box via HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) can simplify your control experience by allowing you to use one remote for both devices. Here's how to set it up and use it:
Setup HDMI-CEC on Your TV and ONN Box:
Enable HDMI-CEC on Your TV:
The name for HDMI-CEC can vary by manufacturer (e.g., Anynet+ for Samsung, Bravia Sync for Sony, VIERA Link for Panasonic, etc.).
Navigate to your TV's settings menu:
Look for terms like HDMI Control, CEC, or the brand-specific name for CEC.
Turn this feature ON.
Enable HDMI-CEC on the ONN 4K Streaming Box:
On your ONN box, go to Settings.
Navigate to System, then find an option like HDMI CEC or Control other devices with this remote.
Enable this option. It might be named something like "HDMI Device Control" or similar.
Using TV Remote with ONN Box:
Once both devices have CEC enabled:
Basic Navigation: In most cases, you should now be able to use your TV remote's directional buttons, OK/Select, and Back buttons to navigate the ONN box's interface.
Volume and Power Control:
Your TV remote should control the volume of your TV, which is useful since the ONN box doesn't have its own speakers.
The power button might turn both devices on and off simultaneously if configured correctly.
Source/Input Selection:
Depending on your TV model, the input/source button on your TV remote might switch back to the HDMI input where the ONN box is connected, or it might cycle through inputs.
Troubleshooting and Additional Configuration:
If Controls Don't Work:
Ensure both devices are set to use CEC. Sometimes, you need to restart both devices for changes to take effect.
Check if there are specific settings on the ONN box for "TV control" or similar. Some devices require you to manually enable control from the TV remote.
Customizing CEC:
Some TVs allow you to customize which CEC commands are sent. If you find the TV remote controlling too many or too few functions, look for settings like Device List or Linked Devices to tweak what each remote can do.
Brand-Specific Issues:
Some TV brands might have quirks or limitations with how CEC interacts with streaming devices. For instance, some might not pass through all commands, like fast-forward or rewind, effectively.
Firmware Updates:
Ensure both your TV and the ONN box are running the latest firmware. Updates often improve or expand CEC functionality.
Alternative Control Options:
If HDMI-CEC isn't working well, consider using the ONN remote for box-specific functions while using your TV remote for TV controls like volume and power.
