HDMI Device Link

HDMI Device Link is a feature that matches the power state of your PS5 with your TV. When you turn on your TV, the PS5 also turns on. However, this feature can sometimes cause your PS5 to turn off unexpectedly. To disable HDMI Device Link, go to your PS5’s settings and turn off the feature. See if this resolves the issue.
