Is there a remote for the unit, or can I control music volume from my iPhone, or tv volume from the tv remote?

It does come with a small remote that works well. You can control bluetooth volume from your iPhone but it will not be linear through the range so its not very effective. Unless your TV remote is programmable, it will not control the volume of this unit. I used a Harmony universal remote where you can program the remote to change the soundbar volume when the volume buttons are pressed while the remaining buttons on the remote operate the tv/set-top box as needed. There are other 2.1 sound systems that recognize volume commands from most major TV brands (one such is the Onkyo LS3100), but this Panasonic does not have that feature.

There is no remote control but the volume and on/off control is on a wire about 4 to 5 feet long. I hoped this helped.

I have an iPhone and I can control the volume either by the music play list on my phone or through the phone volume control. If you have degraded low bit rate music it will play low for that song. I need to clean up my music selection.

No remote comes with it but you can control the volume and play/pause, advance/rewind with the phone or whatever other device is streaming music to it.

You need to program the remote to operate the volume of the device and brand you want to control. There are programming instructions available thru panasonics website. Thanks. Dan

Pinnacle lists a few options here: http://www.pinnaclespeakers.com/rc-sl.html Additionally a learning remote would work, or you could just connect the system to your TV's headphone or RCA outputs and continue to use your TV remote to control the volume.

Yes. With the remote you can answer calls, change the volume and pause/play/skip songs. The remote has a microphone on the back that works as good as the one on the iPhone without having to hold it next to your mouth.

Yes you can. Single click for stop/play; double for next track and triple for previous track. It does not control the volume. The remote is able to launch a music player app without the need to unlock the phone nor open the music app. Hope this helps.

I have mine connected via hdmi and can use my tv remote to control volume. There is a slight delay between when the tv is turned on and when the sound bar turns on.

please press left or right arrow on the remote to adjust volume. Is there a digital converter box for TV connection? you can control volume of the box.

There is no remote control. But, the control panel on the radio does control the ipod. You can surf playlists, play and pause songs, etc. You can also control an external hard drive or thumb drive the same way. I'm still happy with the unit, use it daily.

Not a tech person, sorry I can't help you, but I do know that I love the remote and could use the volume control if I wanted to. We have the sound hooked up to surround sound.

I have mind on digital and yes the remote has volume control and it controls the volume bar on your ipod/iphone. When you press the buttons for up and down you can see the bar move accordingly and the volume changes. It does not control the reciever volume though.

No, the only volume control is for the headphone jack, but it is only on the cd player not on the remote.

There is a volume control, if your TV has a mini headphone jack you should be able to connect using it.
