Does it increase the volume? My tv is not loud enough.

yes, not super loud, but a lot better than the wimpy speakers in current HD tvs such as my Sanyo DP32.

Yes it does. This Sounbar has its own Amp integrated inside. Try to get a Subwoofer for a better, deeper Basssound. I did that. It worked.

Some headphones have a volume adjustment on them otherwise if you have the device connected properly you should be able to turn the volume up on the tv you are connected to. You also might have to turn off the internal tv speaker setting on your tv when using this with newer tvs

No there's not. I crank it to 75%, then use the television to contro volume.

Yes. I have it hooked to my TV. Lower the TV volume and the output is lower. Your headphones may also have a volume control and then you can use either one or both to increase or decrease the volume.

I only had mine hooked up for a few minutes. The max volume was actually lower than the TVs max volume. Sent the thing right back.

I find it loud even on the low setting. When you have to turn up your tv to drown it out, it is not quiet. Also throws out cold air.

My tv has plenty of volume. I adjusted the treble down to minimum and the base up to maximum which reduced the "tinneyness" sound of small speakers considerably. I am satisfied with the sound quality, so I hav'nt looked into any upgrades.

Yes, the TV remote can adjust the sound volume, ONLY if the soundbar is operating. The soundbar produces great audio, but this product is not very reliable. Mine worked very well for the first year, now getting sound from it takes a tremendous amount of time & patience and luck. The main issue appears, to me, to be a major conflict in the VieraLink software or hardware. Good Luck!

Make sure the TV sound is disabled. Volume will be controlled by SoundPlate remote.

No, it doesn't. You have to use the volume control on the device you plug it in to.

Just set mine up. I do have a home theater system, so it isn't an issue with me. But I am also not impressed with the sound from the tv. You certainly should be able to hear it over other noise, even though it could be louder.

Try turning the volume up on the TV. Sometimes these devices are a volume magnifier. I have a Royal and it has plenty of volume so if that doesn't work the unit may be defective.

Yes. Turn it on and hit the "select" button until you see the "vol" flashing (bottom right), then use the up arrow to increase the volume.

I am driving a pair of small speakers. I plugged the PCA1 into the TV audio output and keep the PCA1 volume at about 3/4 way up. My speakers are than adjusted in volume with my TV volume control. You may have to adjust the volume to your liking.

yes but you can only adjust the volume with the remote provided with the speaker not the TV remote

Yes....the TV remote will adjust the volume of the sound bad. My DVR remote will also adjust the sound.

I installed my TV in my kitchen. I do have to set the volume at a high setting but it is loud enough to hear while I am cooking. It's not the best sound but sufficient and mets my needs for my kitchen area.
