How do i turn off the visual volume bar on my tv when i mute or adjust the volume? This is for the Onkyo TX-NR535.

Visual volume bar is an option in settings. I don't think you can disable the on-screen mute notification though.

Push the "RCV" button at the top of the remote. Then push the "HOME" button located in the middle of the remote. Select "SETUP" and push the "ENTER" button. Then select "HARDWARE" and push the "ENTER" button. Where you see "Volume OSD" toggle using the right arrow on the remote until "OFF" is displayed. That should do it. Use the "RETURN" button repeatedly to cancel the menu display. Good luck!

Sondra, there appears to be no way to defeat the "MUTING" on-screen display. If it is too bothersome you could always turn the volume all the way down. It only takes about three seconds.

The TV sound will not go off unless you turn it down. With the headset you have 2 separate volume controls. One on the headset and one on the TV.

Hello, well, that just happened to me, it was working fine until one day I couldn't turn it on at all. There is one thing the makers of this Soundbar forgot and that is : Manual Controls. Somewhere in the Bar should have the Controls so, in cases like this, the owner could turn the Bar on and manipulate the Volume, Bass and Treble and the other Features. I called Philips and they sent me a new Remote Control but, unfortunately didn't work. In my opinion due to the fact that the Circuitry inside is very Sensitive any Fluctuation in the Electrical Current like a Sudden Blackout, etc. could damage the inner system. I don't remember having in my neighborhood any Blackouts but anything is possible. I notified Philips concerning the outcome of the new Remote Control so they advised me to let Amazon know my situation. Amazon did a good response, something I am very grateful. Thank you. Joe.

Almost forgot, I don't have my TV here, but is there any automatic sound adjust in the setup menu you can turn off?

I do not know. I turn my sound bar off when I am done using it then turn it back on when I use it. I suggest you contact vizio.

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

I have the same problem with the Yamaha RX-V665... Probably the same deal as Onkyo... no toggle mode.

If you connect the sound bar to a TV via the included Optical Cable, that will NOT mute the TV's speakers. When connected via Optical Cable you need to lower the speaker volume to zero or press "Mute" on the TV remote, then control the volume thru the Sound Bar's remote...If you want the convenience of controlling ALL TV functions with a single remote, use the Headphone output on the TV to connect to the "Portable" input jack on the Sound Bar, via a double-ended male 3.5mm stereo cable. (Search on Amazon for ASIN: B0002ZPJZO.) Set the TV & Sound Bar volume level to no more than "50" and control the TV volume using only the TV remote thereafter.

The back of my sound bar has an "Opt In" for the optical cable, a LAN port (although it connects to Wi-Fi), and an HDMI out to run the same apps which come with the LG TV. We use the Optical cable through the Opt In port. The volume is controlled by the remote that came with the sound bar. We don't use the HDMI port out, there is no "In HDMI" port on the bar. I hope this helps, good luck!

There are two settings on the audio portion of this TV. One is 3D and the other has some other name from JVC. We have tried multiple combinations with these settings and eventually have turned them off and have an external sound bar for volume, with the audio on the TV off.

On the Samsung tv go to menu then preferences / accessibility and disable DV this turns off the annoying narrator

Ok, guys I'm old and new to this stuff, so be pateint... How does a sound bar work. Is it hooked to the TV and instead of the sound coming from the TV it comes out of the sound bar and I'm assuming the sound is much better. Can you contol the sound volume with a Directv remote or the TV remote. Thanks in advance... Mike

There is not much information here, but my guess would be that the system either has the internal speakers off or the system is set to internal mute because it thinks an external sound source is controlling volume. I assume you are receiving some sound and it is just not changing as you toggle volume up and down. If you are receiving no sound at all, I would bet it is a cabling issue and you do not have a sound source connected to your TV. Hope this helps despite not being terrible specific.

It's separate from the TV volume, at least with my Sharp Aquos. I was able to add the soundbar on to my Logitech Harmony 880 remote.

Check your TV to see if there is a setting for controlling the audio out. On mine it is under the Audio menu and is called Audio Out. Setting it to Variable does what you want.
