Question:

How to resolve an issue with Samsung's Anynet+ feature causing unwanted power cycling of my external devices?

Answer:

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Identify the problem:

Understand that Samsung devices using the Anynet+ feature may automatically turn on/off the TV when the external device is turned on/off. This can sometimes lead to frustration.

Choose between two solutions:

A. Auto Turn Off Function

Disabling this function will prevent external devices from powering off when the TV is powered off, but other Anynet+ functions will still be available.

B. Anynet+ Feature

Turning off the Anynet+ feature entirely will avoid such issues, but you won't be able to use the Anynet+ function to control your external device with the TV remote.

Implement chosen solution.

Follow the instructions provided by Samsung support to disable either the Auto Turn Off function or the entire Anynet+ feature depending on your preference.

Test results: After implementing the solution, test the behavior of your external devices and verify whether the issue has been resolved.

Terms:

Anynet+: A feature in Samsung devices allowing control of external devices through the TV remote.

External Devices: Devices (e.g., Blu-ray players, home theaters) connected to the TV that can be controlled via Anynet+.

Power Cycling: The process of turning a device off and then back on again.
