PS5 turns on automatically - How can you turn off the function?

PlayStation 5 automatically turns on with the TV.

This has probably already happened to some PlayStation 5 owners. The PlayStation 5 simply turns on with the TV. 
How can you prevent the PlayStation 5 from automatically turning on with the TV?

With just a few clicks, you can disable this feature in the PlayStation 5 options.

  1. Open the PlayStation 5 main menu
  2. Go to "Settings"
  3. Scroll down and go to "System"
  4. Select "HDMI" there
  5. Disable the "HDMI Device Connection" option

And the PlayStation 5 should no longer automatically turn on with the TV.
