Chromecast doesn't turn off Sony TV

[SpeedGeek]

I'm having a strange problem with my SONY TV, the Chromecast interacts with it perfectly, volume / input / etc. But when I push the power button to turn off system, it will turn off the SONY TV, but then after a second it turns it back on again. The chromecast is still off at this point so the TV is just "awaiting input" but it stays on until I use the TV remote to turn it off. Very frustrating.

Both TV firmware and Chromecast firmware are fully updated and HDMI-CEC (or whatever it's called) is on

Hi SpeedGeek,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please try to plug in your Chromecast into a different HDMI port on your TV and reboot your Chromecast and TV? Removing and re-adding your TV under the remote and accessories settings might also help. Once done, try to set up again the buttons on your Voice remote.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Thank you for the help Jennifer! Turns out I setup both my TV and Soundbar and there was no need to do both, because they're already syncing with each other through HDMI-CEC, the remote was turning off one and then the other, which was actually turning everything back on. I removed the Soundbar and now it's working perfectly! THANK YOU.
