    Can I disconnect or connect the HDMI cable to the TV or game console when the TV is on standby and the console is plugged in but not turned on (turned on)? Can something break?


    The HDMI cable should only be connected / disconnected on devices disconnected from the 230V mains.

    And why HDMI cables have a "HOT PLUG detect" pin?

    Theory is good, but practice shows otherwise.
    I got some damaged TV sets at the plant, customers said the damage happened when connecting the HDMI cable with the equipment turned on.
