AI Summary

HDMI‑CEC lets devices linked to a Samsung TV coordinate automatically, but a single disabled setting can break that coordination.

The soundbar stops responding to the TV remote, and switching inputs requires locating the remote that was left on the couch. These quirks illustrate how disabling one feature can make the TV feel less “smart.”
