Control your PS4 using the TV remote control

[kingplay]

In order to watch a movie or anything in PS4 you probably prefer using a remote control rather than a DualShock4 to control movie playback and to launch the console, but no new official device is available to do this. Fortunately, there is a solution for this. I will teach you through this tutorial how to use a remote control on your PS4.
I will give you the procedure with a Samsung TV.

Note : Your TV must be compatible with HDMI-CEC option, to know if this is the case, look in the manual, or search in the menus of your TV.

The first thing to do is to activate the option in the system of the PlayStation 4.

-To do this, go to the Settings menu.
-Then, go to the System menu at the bottom.
-And then you must check the box "Activate device HDMI link".

-Now in the menu on your TV, you must go to the HDMI-CEC related menu. On a Samsung, it is in the application menu, and then in Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC).
-Go to the Configuration menu.
-Turn the HDMI-CEC option to ON.
-Return to the previous menu, and go to Device List.
-PlayStation 4 should now appear in the list, select it and you can comfortably use your TV remote to navigate the menus of the PS4, and to play your media files.

Enjoy

Thanks JMQMOfficials, I personally find it a lot easier to use a remote control when watching a movie than using the dualshock 4 or any other device.

But I have a question : Why my tutorial didn't enter the contest ?
I think I followed the rules and I don't think that this is available in any other site.

whenever i click left or right on the ps4 xmb(?) bar it goes either 2 items left or right, is there a way to fix that?

people did not know about this O-o
when i first started up my ps4 i went through all the settings to see what it had saw it, and googled it and managed to get it running! although my tv has some extra features ! when i turn off the tv, it will automatically turn off the ps4, and when i turn on the tv and it is on the HDMI input the ps4 is on it will turn it on
