Basic operations of HDMI CEC

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is the controlling signals optionally employed for the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard. When devices equipped with CEC are connected, each device can control the others. This system is compatible with some basic functions of HDMI CEC.

TV compatible with

HDMI CEC

Basic operations of HDMI CEC

• When you start playback on the main unit, the connected TV automatically turns on.

• When you select the main unit as the source of the TV, picture and sound from the main unit are automatically produced.

• When you turn off the TV, the main unit automatically turns off. (This function works when “ON 1” is selected for “CEC” in the preference screen. Refer to page 39.)

• When you select the menu screen language of the TV, and then the main unit is turned off and turned on again, the same language is automatically selected on the main unit. (The selectable languages are limited to those supported by this system.)

• As long as the connected TV is compatible, you can use the operations of the TV to start playback and operate other functions on the main unit.

NOTE

• This function is available only when the source is set to “DVD” or “USB”.

• This function is available when “ON 1” or “ON 2” is selected for “CEC” in the preference screen. (Refer to page 39.)

• For details about the CEC function, refer to the operations manuals of the connected CEC devices.

• If the power cable is not connected to an AC outlet, the CEC function does not work, even when the main unit is connected to CEC devices.

• Not all HDMI devices are compatible with CEC. If the main unit is connected to non-CEC compatible devices, these devices cannot be controlled using the CEC function.

• The CEC function may not work with some CEC devices. (When the main unit is connected to a non-JVC product, the CEC function may not work.)

• The CEC function may not work depending on the settings or status of the main unit or the connected CEC devices.

• When connecting the main unit to a TV with an HDMI cable for the first time after purchase, confirm that “JVC” (the initial screen) appears.

• When you disconnect the HDMI cable and connect it again, confirm that “JVC” appears.

• If the CEC function does not work properly, select “OFF” for the “CEC” setting, and then select “ON 1” or “ON 2” again. (Refer to page 39.)
