Depending on the brand, CEC may be labelled differently in the device menu. For more info, see Names used by different brands for CEC.
Check the HDMI-CEC setting of your product.
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a feature that allows devices connected via HDMI to communicate with each other. However, since there are a variety of brands and models of HDMI devices, sometimes devices may not communicate as expected. For issues with audio, video, or remote control operations over HDMI, try setting the HDMI-CEC option in your system menu to On or Alternative. Or to bypass HDMI-CEC, try setting the option to Off. For more info, see Turning HDMI-CEC on or off.
