I show you how to enable (turn on) the HDMI-CEC & ARC on a TCL Android TV (smart TV). TCL calls this T-Link. Hope this helps.

Looks like there was an update to the interface. Now go to Settings like he showed you, but go to Channels and Inputs, then Inputs, then scroll down to "Control other devices (CEC)"

This doesn’t seem to be the steps for google tv. Only android tv

I am trying to connect my TCL s6500 to a Yamaha rx-v385 receiver. The first time I turn on T-link, everything works but if I turn the TV off and on again, there is no sound from the receiver. The tv still controls volume of the receiver but no sound. To make it work again I have to turn T-link off and on. Anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?

[michaelchristensen]

Thank you. Such a dumb spot to keep that setting. I probably would've waisted a lot of time trying to find it on my own.

Does this also allow you to send audio from the TV (via the eArc HDMI port) to a soundbar?
