How do I troubleshoot and manage power settings on my Xumo TV?
Your Xumo TV offers several customizable power settings to help you control how and when your TV turns on, stays on, and powers off.
Wake TV with casting
To turn on your TV by casting from a mobile device:
- Go to Settings > Device settings > Power preferences.
- Enable Wake with media casting.
⚠️ Enabling this feature increases power usage while the TV is in standby mode.
Disable auto-off
By default, your TV powers off after eight hours of inactivity. To keep it on continuously:
- Go to Settings > Device settings > Power preferences > Auto-off.
- Set to OFF.
⚠️ If your TV is on HDMI, Composite, or Antenna input with no signal, it will still turn off after 15 minutes to conserve energy.

I’m having video or audio issues with my HDMI device. How can I fix it?
First, make sure your HDMI cable is working. You can check by connecting the HDMI cable to a different TV or monitor.
If the HDMI cable is working, and there is still no sound or you are having video issues with your HDMI device, power cycle your devices:
- Power off both your TV and your HDMI device.
- Unplug the power connections, wait 60 seconds.
- Re-plug both devices back into the power outlet.
If the power cycle didn't work, the problem is likely an incompatibility between your older device and the TV's high-speed Standard (2.0+) settings. To fix this, change the HDMI compatibility mode to Compatibility (1.4) by following these steps:
Change HDMI Compatibility Mode
- Go to Settings > Antenna and inputs.
- Go to HDMI (number) > HDMI compatibility for the input your device is connected to.
- Select Compatibility.
If you are using an external speaker connected to the S/PDIF (optical audio) output or the HDMI-ARC/eARC input on your TV and you are having audio issues, try changing the Digital audio output setting to PCM:
Change Digital Audio Output to PCM
- Go to Settings > Picture and sound > Audio settings > Digital audio output.
- Select PCM.
