Power On the Onn TV using the TV Power Button
One common thing in Onn smart TVs and non-smart TVs is that they have a dedicated physical power button. The power button is usually situated on the front or back panel on the left or right or at the underside of the Onn TV. Once you identify the Power button, gently press on it to turn the Onn TV on or off.
Turn On the Onn TV using the IR Remote App
You can transform your Android mobile into a virtual remote to manage the TV power functions. This is possible if your Android mobile has a built-in IR blaster.

Upon pairing, locate the Power button in the app’s remote interface. Then, press the Power key. Within a fraction of a second, your Onn TV will receive signals and respond accordingly.

Once you finish saying the command, your Onn TV will turn on. Keep in mind that this method works only if your Onn TV is partially turned on and runs in standby mode.
Power On the Onn TV using External Devices
HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) paves a way to power your Onn TV on and off using an external device. If you own an external device such as a gaming console, player, or any other device, connect it to your Onn TV using an HDMI cable. If you don’t have it, you can buy an HDMI cable from Amazon.
Once you make a connection, go to the Onn TV settings and enable HDMI-CEC. Likewise, enable the CEC on the external device. Your Onn TV and the external device will power sync with each other. The next time you turn on the external device, it will also turn your Onn TV on.
