How to Turn On JVC TV Without Remote
If you don’t have your JVC TV remote or it isn’t working, there are several ways you can still power on your TV and start watching your favorite content.
Use the Buttons on the TV Panel
To turn on your JVC TV without using the remote, locate the power button on the TV bezel or panel. It’s typically found either on the front or back panel of the TV. Press it to power on your device.
Use External Devices
The next best way to power On your JVC Smart TV is to use the gaming consoles. Most gaming consoles have the HDMI CEC option. By enabling it, you can automatically turn on your JVC TV by turning on the gaming console.
First, turn on the HDMI CEC feature on your JVC TV settings and follow these steps based on the type of console you own.
PS5 or PS4
- On your PS5/PS4, go to Settings > System > HDMI.
- Turn on the HDMI Device Link (on PS5) or Enable HDMI Device Link (on PS4).
Once this is enabled, power on the console, and it should automatically turn on your JVC TV as long as the TV also supports HDMI-CEC.
Xbox
- Hit the Xbox button to launch the menu.
- Go to Profile & system > Settings > General > TV & display options.
- Under TV settings, enable the HDMI-CEC option (it may be labeled as “Device Control” or similar).
Once HDMI-CEC is activated, turning on your Xbox will automatically turn on your JVC TV.
Nintendo Switch
- Go to the Settings section on your Nintendo Switch.
- Under the System Settings, select TV Output.
- Hit the option Match TV Power State and turn it on.
With HDMI-CEC enabled, simply docking the Switch and turning it on should automatically power on your JVC TV.
Can I Turn On My JVC Smart TV via Voice Commands?
Yes. You can turn on the JVC Smart TV using voice commands, but it depends on whether your TV is compatible with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. If your JVC TV supports integration with these services, and you’ve already set it up with your smart home device, you can easily power on the TV by simply saying commands like “Alexa, turn on the TV,” “Hey Google, turn on the TV,” or “Hey Siri, turn on the TV.”
