Wish we could help you but we do not have a dish or a sleep timer. We have cable. We followed the instructions from the power bar manufacturer. We have not had any of the problems that you described.

It sounds like your sound bar is not connected throught the TV set. The audio cable should be connected to the TV set so that when the TV set is turned off there will be no sound through the sound bar. I have also had trouble with the remote for the sound bar. It seems to go out of alignment sometimes and will not operate the sound bar. I find that pushing the top button on the sound bar until it blinks orange and then hitting the volume control button will cause the soundbar and remote to work together again. One of the problems I read about with the sound bar was that the remote will not always operate the sound bar. Hopes this helps. It sounds like your sound bar is not connected throught the TV set.

Try plugging a lamp into one of the other controlled sockets. It does not turn off after 20 minutes, but the sound bar does, then there is something wrong with the sound bar. If the lamp does turn off when the sound bar turns off, it might be that the current draw of the TV is marginal with respect to the trigger point of the ZuniDigital. Plug the TV --AND-- the lamp (with about a 50 Watt bulb) into the ZuniDigital main socket by using a multitap AC adapter. If the sound bar stays on, it will prove that the TV current draw was not high enough for the ZuniDigital. If the sound bar still turns off, replace the ZuniDigital.

James,I'm in the process to get Harmony 550. I was wondering about Dish network DVR buttons, specially "skip back" & "skip fwd". Are they working with your dish DVR? I checked a lot of universal remote controls, none of them worked. Thank You

Sorry to say, I am not at all familiar with the technical aspects of how this connects to the TV. I had folks helping me with the hookup. I do know that turning off the TV does not turn off the soundbar...that has to be done with its own remote...the Sound bar takes over the TV's sound. Note that we did have to adjust the TV sound and then the Soundbar sound and then it sounds great. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Do not forget one important step.... turn power on, and then - HOLD DOWN - and then turn tuning knob to get to "ON". Release and listen without interruption or automatic turn off in a preset time. This step is not clearly stated. Drive me NUTZ until I figured out what was not clearly stated. Must hold power button down to allow toggle to sleep timer adjustment.

Hey Pugh, let me know if you have any of the compatibility issues I've had. You're using the Xbox Slim, and I'm thinking of upgrading to one especially if it works better with this reciever. Does your Xbox 360 turn off by itself everytime you switch to another input on your receiver?I'm using a Samsung LCD HDTV and if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe the TV is actually the culprit

I had to send back. I hooked to an LG TV and the thing kept powering off by itself even after turning off the power saving features. I ended up buying an Onkyo LS3100 hooked it up using the fiber optic cable and it just works when I turn on/off and volume using the TV remote. It had LG already progrmed in I didn't even have fiddle with the remote.

I have the same issue and i've had to deal with bypassing like you are. I'm pretty good with electronics and I don't get it either. I called sony support but they weren't very helpful. in response to eightysicks86's response the entire point of using the digital signal is for the 5.1 DIGITAL surround sound which you won't get from the analog rca's. Sony did tell me that you can reset it by unpluging it for 15 minutes and then plugging it into the wall outlet without the surge protector. No luck there. By any chance does your power button on the tv ever become unresponsive? Let me know if you found a fix. I have the same issue and i've had to deal with bypassing like you are.

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.

There are several codes that all do the same thing, besides on/off, vol. control. The best additional functions you can get is to press TV and repeat pressing Input to switch thru the Input List - but this just moves horizonally thru choices. Press Channel up or down to move vertically to different rows in the Input List.I have a LW5700 (functions the same as LW5600) and have tried different Dish remotes, but currently using a 20.0 IR with code of 627.

I just bought this item from a local store. It does not have a programmable timer option. It only has a sleep timer and an auto shutoff timer, but not for changing the channels.

I think the TV detects about everything I always turn off using the remote control. When you set it up the first time every thing should be turned on then use your cable box remote to turn it all on and off. I had problems with all the different remote controls and changed to a Harmony 1 this was a big help, you will need a computer to set the Harmony 1 up though. I also changed to AT&T; is much faster.I have the:SONY STR-DG920 Reciever.SONY KDL-46WL140 TV.BLU-ray BDP-S550POLK CSi A4 4 Ohm speakerPOLK (2) Small Speakers * ohm and will change to large LS 15 uSED IN A V WEEK.

I would agree with the other responses regarding the settings on your DVD or Bluray player and your connections. I have DISH attached to my Panasonic, but haven't seen your issue. Also, the issue could be related to a setting on the Panasonic and have found the settings used during the review by CNET for this set to be worthwhile.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

Hope you don't think I am being a wiseass, but are the blue lights on your soundbar on? Our first mistake was thinking that the green power light was "on". If the blue lights are not on, that is probably your problem. Next was the source. We use our bar on source 2, (there will be two blue lights on). The directions are poorly written, so we called the tech support number in the instructions. I recommend you do the same. The guy will walk you through syncing the remotes, and any other questions you may have. You will definitely want to sync this to your main remote. Hope this helps.

HI William, I have my optical cord connected to my Dish network receiver out to the Sony surround sound. The Sony unit is connected with an HDMI to the TV.. it sounds great. The only signal going to the TV is the video the sound goes thru the Sony surround Sound. Hope I answered your question if not I would go to the Sony Website I'm sure customer service can help you there..

This is a pain with Dish. With that being said, I had to find a Dish Network dish that was already set up on a satellite, some say you can go to a local dealer, I don't know about that. Then I had to set it up with an active internet connection, after that point it was able to update the receiver and worked. If you hold down the * (star key) you can bypass the initial setup screen. Do a google search for "dish network bypass setup screen", you will find some good info. Good luck, hope this helps..
