Is there a reason I haven't seen this used for DVD players and game consoles? (Or am I just living under a rock?)

- bpeebles 13y agoMy bluray player (a Sony from a couple years ago) does this perfectly fine with my Samgsung TV. So, some devices use it.
- deelowe 13y agoNot sure, but XBMC supports it.
- lotso 13y agoNot all TVs support CEC or have it turned on by default.
- robbiet480 13y agoMy Toshiba TV and my Onkyo receiver both support it. It's not a cost/licensing issue since it's built into HDMI and Pulse-Eight makes a USB CEC HDMI passthrough adapter and provides a libCEC library: http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-a...
- Andrevv 13y agoPS3 supports it. Although not when the youtube app is running for some reason. When I turn my TV on, the PS3 starts automatically and I can use the remote to navigate menus and Netflix.
- martinml 13y agoOnly in CECH-2000 model and later, though. http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/ctrlhdmi.html http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/setti...
- garduque 13y agoWhen I turn on my PS3 my Samsung TV automagically turns on and switches to the appropriate input.
- jdjb 13y agoWii U gamepad has a TV button that turns the touchscreen into a remote control for my TV.
- lepht 13y agoThis is not the same creature, though -- The Wii U gamepad has an infrared transmitter that allows it to act as a universal remote. AFAIK, the PS3 is the only current generation console to implement CEC.

- emddudley 13y agoWorks great between my Samsung HDTV and Panasonic BluRay player, both 3 years old. Only have to use one remote. :-)
