While using Fire TV sticks, it becomes a nuisance to keep switching between two remotes. But with the HDMI CEC enabled, you can control basic functions like the volume or power of your TV with just one remote.

During the initial setup, Firestick provides an option to pair the remote with the TV control. However, you might need to pair it again if you have switched the TV brand or removed the TV from your Firestick.

Step 1: Turn on HDMI CEC

HDMI CEC is a helpful feature for controlling the common functions of shared devices with the same HDMI connection. In simple terms, when you enable this feature, you can control your basic TV functions like power and volume using a Firestick remote or use your TV remote to control Fire TV sticks.

Before pairing your firestick remote to the TV volume, you must turn on this feature on both devices. The steps for enabling HDMI CEC might vary according to TV brands. Also, some TV might not support this feature. You must ensure to use a supported HDMI port for HDMI CEC to work.

We have compiled the steps for some of the popular brands for your reference below.
