This function doesn't work with all TVs, I believe you get a message about this when you connect the phone via HDMI. It seems like your TV isn't supported unfortunately.

In my experience not all TVs give all CEC functionality to our Xperia Phones....

I tried the following...

A 50" LG SmartTV which works ONLY in one HDMI port:

- Directional pad

- Back button

- Menu button

- Media buttons

A 21" Toshiba TV which work on all HDMI ports (2):

- Directional Pad

- Back button

- Menu button

- Home button

- Media buttons

A 32" LG TV works in 1 of the 2 HDMI ports:

-Media buttons

My Sony 42" SmartTV works for all HDMI port

- Color buttons (for notification bar, menu, back)

- Directional Pad

- Home, Menu, Back buttons (you can disable this, so they can control the TV instead, or choose on the go)

- Media buttons

Remember that beside having to be Compatible, and most of them requiring to turn the CEC function to work, some TV needs to have the deivce plug into the right HDMI port...

Other than that I dont know how else to help you...

hope you figure it out
