HDMI-CEC (High-Definition Multimedia Interface Consumer Electronics Control) is a feature that allows devices connected via HDMI to communicate with each other and perform various functions. However, there may be situations where you need to disable HDMI-CEC on your CommBox Panel. Follow the steps below to disable HDMI-CEC:
Step 1: Ensure you are on the HDMI Source
- Make sure you are currently on the HDMI source that is connected to the input device for which you want to disable HDMI-CEC. For example, if you want to disable HDMI-CEC for a Blu-ray player connected to the HDMI 1 input, switch to the HDMI 1 source.
Step 2: Open the CommBox Menu
- Take your remote control and access the CommBox menu. The menu button is usually labeled with a specific icon or marked as "Menu." Press this button to open the menu.
Step 3: Navigate to the 5th Tab
- Within the CommBox menu, navigate to the 5th tab. The tab may be labeled differently based on the specific firmware version of your CommBox Panel. Look for an icon or text that indicates settings or configurations.
Step 4: Scroll Down to Control
- Once you are in the 5th tab, scroll down using the arrow buttons on your remote control until you find the "Control" option. This option may also be labeled as "Device Control" or "External Control."
Step 5: Scroll Across to HDMI CEC
- With the "Control" option selected, scroll horizontally using the arrow buttons until you reach the "HDMI CEC" option. This option controls the HDMI-CEC functionality on your CommBox Panel.
Step 6: Configure the Option to OFF
- After selecting the "HDMI CEC" option, you will see a submenu that allows you to configure its settings. Scroll through the available settings until you find the option to disable HDMI-CEC. This option may be labeled as "Off" or "Disabled."
- Once you locate the option, select it to disable HDMI-CEC on your CommBox Panel.
By following these steps, you can easily disable HDMI-CEC on your CommBox Panel. Disabling HDMI-CEC can be useful in situations where you want to prevent unintended interactions between devices or if you are experiencing compatibility issues. Remember that the menu layout and options may vary slightly depending on the specific model and firmware version of your CommBox Panel.
