Have you ever wanted to turn on your TV without reaching for the remote? With the PS4 gaming console, you can effortlessly control your TV with just a few simple steps. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of turning on your TV using your PS4.

What You Will Need

  • A PlayStation 4 console
  • A compatible TV with HDMI-CEC support
  • An HDMI cable
  • A DualShock 4 controller

Step 1: Connect Your PS4 to Your TV

Start by connecting your PS4 to your TV using an HDMI cable. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output port on the back of your PS4, and the other end into an HDMI input port on your TV. Make sure to take note of the HDMI input port number you used for future reference.

Step 2: Enable HDMI-CEC on Your TV

Not all TVs have HDMI-CEC enabled by default, so you may need to enable it manually. HDMI-CEC is a feature that allows devices connected via HDMI to communicate with each other. The specific steps to enable HDMI-CEC will vary depending on your TV brand and model. Refer to your TV's user manual or check the manufacturer's website for detailed instructions on enabling HDMI-CEC.

Step 3: Turn on Your TV Automatically with the PS4

Once your PS4 is connected and HDMI-CEC is enabled on your TV, you can set it up to turn on your TV automatically. Follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your PS4 console using the power button on the front or by pressing the PS button on your DualShock 4 controller.
  2. Navigate to the "Settings" menu on your PS4 home screen.
  3. Select "System."
  4. Choose "HDMI Device Link."
  5. Toggle the "Enable HDMI Device Link" option to On.
  6. Select "TV" to specify that you want to control your TV.
  7. Choose "Set Up TV to Turn On" and follow the on-screen instructions.
  8. Select your TV brand from the list provided or choose "Don't Know" if your TV brand is not listed.
  9. Follow the prompts to test whether the PS4 successfully turns on your TV.

Once the setup is complete, you can turn on your TV simply by turning on your PS4. The PS4 will send a signal to your TV through HDMI-CEC, automatically powering it on.

Additional Tips

  • If you have multiple HDMI input ports on your TV, make sure to select the input port that your PS4 is connected to when setting up HDMI-CEC.
  • If your TV brand is not listed in the PS4 setup menu, try selecting a similar brand or choosing the "Don't Know" option. In many cases, the PS4 will still be able to control your TV.
  • Keep in mind that HDMI-CEC may have different names depending on your TV brand. Look for terms like "Anynet+," "SIMPLINK," or "Bravia Sync" if you're having trouble finding the HDMI-CEC option.

With these simple steps, you can enjoy the convenience of turning on your TV with your PS4. Say goodbye to remote controls and hello to hassle-free TV control!
