Consumer Electronics Control
Consumer electronics control, or CEC for short, is like having a magic remote control for all of your electronic devices. You know how you have different remote controls for the TV, the DVD player, and the game console? Well, with CEC, you can use just one remote to control all of them!
CEC works by using a special cable that connects all of your electronics together. This cable is called an HDMI cable, and it's the same one you use to connect your DVD player or game console to your TV. When you have all of your electronics connected to the same HDMI cable, they can communicate with each other.
Let's say you're watching a movie on your DVD player, but you want to turn up the volume. With CEC, you can press a button on your TV remote and the volume will go up on your sound system. You don't have to grab another remote or get up from the couch!
CEC can do other cool things too, like turn off all of your electronics when you turn off the TV, or switch inputs automatically when you start using a different device. It's like having a helper that takes care of your electronics for you!
So, in short, CEC is a fancy way of connecting all of your electronics together so you can control them with just one remote. It's like having a magic wand for your TV, DVD player, and game console!
