PLP 1200/ TV turns on unexpectantly

[Duke15]

Since installing PLP 1200, my TV and Soundbar turn on unexpectantly, usually in the middle of the night. Anyone else had this? Any thoughts?

Many TVs will automatically turn on when they receive a power-on signal from an HDMI-connected device using HDMI-CEC.  I can get this to happen when I try to screencast a video from a smartphone to my TV, which is connected to a stereo receiver.

There should be a setting to disable HDMI-CEC on the TV.  TV manufacturers use different names for HDMI-CEC (e.g. Samsung AnyNet+).  You may have to consult your TV's documentation.
