Hi, we have a Sonos Beam hooked up to a Samsung TV, have it connected with Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC). However, the TV keeps being turned on for no reason. Is there a setting I'm missing or something we have set up incorrectly?

Cheers,
Phil.

Might be something to do with this (see link below) perhaps ?

Check to see if there is an option to turn off 'auto-detect HDMI' in the TV Settings. Check for TV firmware update, or maybe contact the Samsung Customer Support Desk for your area.

There's nothing in the TV settings for disabiling auto-detect HDMI ... anyone any other thoughts. It's pretty rubbish that I have to keep disabling HDMI-CEC to prevent the Sonos from turning on the TV all the time.
