Vizio TVs are CEC-enabled, allowing other home entertainment devices to turn on and off the TV with a power signal. Some examples include cable boxes, media players, and game consoles. You must either disable CEC mode on the device in question or disable it in the TV settings. All modern TVs, including Vizios, have a sleep timer to power off the TV after a set period.
