Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Issues When Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) isn't working, these steps may help resolve the problem. What is Anynet+? You can use the TV's remote control to control external devices that support Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) and that are connected to the TV via an HDMI cable. For example, if a connected external device supports Anynet+, you can have the connected device turn on or off when you turn the TV on or off. Anynet+ does not work. The connected device is not displayed. Make sure the device is an Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) device. From the settings menu on the device, check and confirm that the HDMI-CEC option is enabled. From the TV, check and confirm that the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) feature is set to On. • (left directional button) Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Try Now Settings All Settings Connection External Device Manager Check and confirm that the device's power cord is securely plugged in. Check the device's HDMI cable connection. Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) cannot function under specific circumstances.
