If I have the one activity programmed to turn on the TV and Roku, what do you have to do to watch TV and bluray, or TV roku and listen through the amp
2074428
Since this remote only has one programmable activity, you must switch to the various devices -- change input on your TV, Change source on your amp. , etc. Just like you would on any $8 universal remote. Really, it is not what you buy the Harmony for. For the actual functionality you're looking for, you should try to get a Harmony model that can handle 3 or 4 activities (650 etc).

Not sure if this will be any help since you left out any detail on your hardware, but I did have a problem when I hooked up a ROKU box because the ROKU "Settings"->"Audio Mode" default settings were "Surround". There was no soundtrack at this point, only something that sounded like static. So I changed the "Audio Mode" to "Stereo" which worked. From this result I am guessing that the Convertor box can also output digital sound, not just analog but I did not test this assumption as it did not matter for my application. Also the application (Netflix,etc) settings needed changing.

after putting up antenna you have to program your tv. go to auto tune and it will search all the channels. plus the power button has to stay on the green lite is on when its on. without the power on the amplifier wont work.. hope this helps. have a good day.......

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

You would of course need the Roku remote control. The VUR8 manual page 18 gives you everything you need -- step by step. https://store.vizio.com/documents/downloads/accessories/VUR8/244VIZIO%20VUR8%20User%20Manual.pdf Just make sure the Roku remote control you are dealing with is an Infra-red remote control. They have so many models now, I am not sure how each model remote works. If it is not an IR remote, VUR8 cannot learn it. For me personally, it works beautifully. I am so glad I found VUR8. I originally stumbled on this as I have a Vizio TV. But nowadays, all I do that is Vizio is power on and power off. After that it is 100% Roku; even volume control is programmed for my separate amplified speakers.

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv

All i did was buy a digital optical cable, connect it to the output on the back of my tv, connect the power lo this device, put the little switch on the device to SPDIF instead on COAX (since im using digital optical) (its on the side), then i connected the red and black analog cables from this device to my amp.

NO you do not. from manufactures FAQ "Use the Remote Out to connect to your amp's remote input. Remote in is used only if you are not using GTO Signal Sensing turn-on." in other words you dont have to run a remote in to the unit, however you can if you want to instead of letting the unit decide based on speaker signal to turn on.

The top end roku player allows you to plug in USB drives.. you can then stream music , images, videos from that.

Answer number one is corect, what does it not say is that if you have cable, the best thing is to turn off the cable box, turn on the television, and used to remote of the DVD. If the set is connected to an antenna, no problem, tune to any channel, and start the DVD, in some set is preferable to tune to a channel that is not in use at the moment.

After I turn on TV I just go 1 up on the volume and it turns on. I don't think there is a setting to turn on automaticaly when tv turns on, but I havn't tried to look either. I love the unit.

SURE. Do not use the HDMI output. Buy two RCA Y-Adapters such as Amazon listing "Tsunami RCA701-Y1 RCA 1/Female to 2/Male Y Connector Cable (6 Inch, Gray)" for less than $3 each. Buy 1 Dual RCA Female to male extension cable such as Amazon listing "Cblwhl 2 RCA Male / 2 RCA Female, Cable Extension 12 ft" for under $6. Both are Amazon Prime items so if you are a Prime member they will ship free. So the cables will be about $12. Connect both the red and white RCA plugs from the ROKU cable to the female jack on the 2 Y-adapters. Now each audio cable terminates in two male RCA plugs. Plug one of the RCA plugs from each adapter into the color corresponding red and white jack on the TV input. You now have one terminal remaining on each Y-Cable. Connect the extension cable to the remaining available color corresponding plugs on the Y-adapter and then connect to the audio amplifier/receiver aux/tape inputs, again of the corresponding color. You will now have the audio fed to both the TV and the amp/receiver. With TV turned on. but with the TV volume all the way down you can setup the Pandora to run and get the levels correct through the audio system. Then turn the TV off and the audio will continue to be fed to the audio amp/receiver. You can then also use the tv speakers like a center channel with the amp/receiver adding extra range when watching TV. If you used an HDMI cable, the Roku might go into standby when you turned off the TV. I'm not sure whether or not it would. The ROKU may eventually go into standby anyway even when connected using the component video cables. However this will work until it goes into standby. You probably should turn off or disable the screen saver feature in the ROKU settings also.

You're very welcome. I know your going to enjoy roku as much as we do. If I can be of any help at all please let me know.

To add to the others responses - you want the bluray player plugged directly into the receiver, rather than plugged into the TV and an optical cable running from TV to receiver. Then you should hear any sound produced when you have the blu ray and receiver on. You may need to turn on the TV to navigate menus on your Bluray.

Hi Tom,Just to be clear, if I want to just watch TV, I DO still have to turn the Onkyo ON and switch something. I cannot just turn the tv on and watch/listen to it without ever turning the Onkyo on and switching something?Thanks
