         How to Control TV with a Firestick Remote<\/h2>\n

         To control your TV using a Firestick, you need to enable CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) on the TV. CEC is a feature of HDMI that assists in the\u00a0two-way communication\u00a0between a connected device (in this case, a Firestick) and a TV. With this, users can use the HDMI-connected device to change the TV settings.<\/p>\n

         TV brands use various terminologies for CEC settings, but they all serve the same purpose. Below is a list of some TV brands and what they name their CEC settings. This will enable you to locate yours in the Settings menu.<\/p>\n

         \n
         • LG:<\/strong>Simulink<\/li>\n
         • Sony:<\/strong>BRAVIA Sync<\/li>\n
         • Sharp<\/strong>: Aquos Link<\/li>\n
