Losing a TV remote is common but daunting if you have multiple Hitachi TVs. In such cases, you may wonder whether it is possible to turn on the Hitachi TV without a remote. The answer is yes. This article explains the possible techniques for switching on the Hitachi TV.
Turn On Hitachi TV using TV Buttons
Hitachi TVs have a physical power button to turn them on, which you can use in emergencies when the remote stops working. You can locate this Power button on the side or at the bottom of the Hitachi TV panel. Gently press the Power button on the Hitachi TV to turn it on/off.
Switch on Hitachi TV using IR Remote Apps
Hitachi TVs can be powered on using IR-based remote apps. To make it possible, ensure you have an Android smartphone with a built-in IR blaster. If so, run the IR remote app on your Android device and choose a remote to get a control layout. While your TV is in standby mode, press the Power button on the remote app to turn it on.
You can use the following IR remote apps to turn on your TV without WiFi.
Power on Hitachi TV using Voice Commands
Hitachi TVs powered by Android TV and Roku are compatible with controlling voice commands. To make it work, you need to set up voice search on your Hitachi TV. The procedure for setting it up will differ for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
Once you enable it, say a voice command based on your TV’s operating system. For Hitachi Android/Google TV, say, “OK Google, turn on my TV.” For Alexa-powered Hitachi TV, you can say, “Alexa, turn on my Roku TV.” Your Hitachi TV will immediately turn on from standby mode.
Turn On Hitachi TV using HDMI-CEC Feature
Most Hitachi TVs have HDMI-CEC support. If you enable this feature, your Hitachi TV will automatically match the power state of an HDMI-connected device. To accomplish this, go to settings on your console and Hitachi TV and ensure the HDMI-CEC or CEC Device Control is enabled. Afterward, if you turn off your gaming console, it will also power off the Hitachi TV. Likewise, turning it back on will also power on the Hitachi TV.
In addition to the above-discussed techniques, you can turn on Hitachi TVs using a universal remote. To do so, you should first set up a universal remote with your Hitachi TV using suitable codes. Then, press the Power key to turn the Hitachi TV on/off.
