    How do I stop my TV from turning on my Xbox?


    I have a Samsung QN90A TV. Up until about a week ago it worked exactly as desired with my Xbox. However, out of nowhere it started turning on my Xbox whenever I turn on the TV and I can’t get it to stop.

    Here is what I have tried:

    1) Double check the HDMI CEC settings in the Xbox, they are off so this isn’t the problem. I also tried checking the general CEC box but leaving the power on/off boxes unchecked. This did nothing and it still turns on every time.

    2) Remove the Xbox from the universal remote section in the Samsung TV settings. This technically fixes the problem because the Xbox no longer turns on but then the TV no longer enters game mode or supports the gaming features unless I manually enable/disable all of them every time I turn the TV on. This is honestly worse as swapping between gaming/streaming adds a minute of menus every time.

    3) check/uncheck the anynet+ box in the Samsung TV settings. This did nothing as far as I can tell, didn’t help or hurt.

    This is all I have been able to find online. Why is my TV allowed to turn on the Xbox when I have no settings enabled for it on the Xbox? Is there any way to stop this? Why did it work for 2+ years and then break out of nowhere?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    :)

    How can I stop my tv from turning on my husbands xbox?

    Hi there My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    You will need to turn off the HDMI-CEC feature on your console to sort this out.

    Using your console, please do the steps below.

    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, then go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options > TV & A/V power options.

    Please uncheck all the related options that can turn on the console or turn it off there.

    How can I stop my tv from turning on my husbands xbox?

    i'm assuming your voice on Samsung TVs, possibly on the same model, Xbox has an IR blaster feature specifically for doing this, but usually when you want it to

    The first thing would be to turn off HDMI CEC

    If you tell me which xboxes you have i'll tell you where the IR is and you can just put a piece of tape on it if that doesn't work.

    How do I stop my TV from turning on after I turn off my Series X?

    Hello Sean, sorry to hear you're having trouble with the TV and console.

    This sounds like you have HDMI-CEC set up on your console. This will allow the console to turn the TV on or off when you turn the console on or off.

    It's possible that the console has not fully shut down when you turn off the TV so it could be getting a false 'turn on' signal from the console. I'd suggest waiting a moment after turning off the console to turn off the TV or turn off the HDMI-CEC setting on your console.

    How do I stop my Xbox 360 from turning off when I turn my TV off?

    Go to System Settings, Console Settings, Startup and Shutdown and make sure that you don't have Auto-Off enabled.



    Also check your TV settings. Many sets have an option to turn off devices connected via HDMI when the TV itself is turned off. Your television may also have this option.

    If you are using HDMI, the xbox restarts if you turn off your screen or change the channel.
