Once Comcast installed their box and hooked up, I cannot get the Coby remote (of Comcast remote) to turn on or off or change volume. Why???

I installed my Coby 39" also with Comcast as my cable provider. I had to program the Comcast remote (using their list of codes) to recognize the new Coby TV. Otherwise my Coby remote continued to work the TV independently. Make sure you have the correct input selected so the remotes know what they are looking for.

Regis: Sounds like you have a different version of the Comcast remote -- one with four-digit access codes. The newer HD ones have five-digit codes. Glad that everything works. You don't perhaps know how to control the source (TV / CD/ BD/ etc) or the types of sound (Sports, Movies, Drama, etc) with the comcast remote, do you? I still have to use the Sony remote to do those, if I need them.

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.

I'm not very technical and had someone else hook this up for me.I have cable TV. Before I purchased this soundbar, I was using the cable remote to control everything, including volume. The volume and channel change on the TV remote doesn't work when set up this way.After the soundbar was hooked up, the TV remote was still off line for volume and channel changing. I can control the volume by both the cable remote and the small remote that came with the soundbar.Sorry...that's the best I can tell you.

The remote for the Coby does not affect the TV speakers. I disconneted the RCA sound cables running from my ATT UVERSE box to the back of the TV and connected them directly into the Coby. The volume control for the soundbar does not have any affect on the TV. I used the TV remote to turn the TV speakers down to 0. I believe the Coby came with cables but they are very cheap anyway. I have many laying around from old games/VCRs/DVD players/etc.

I have this same receiver with cox cable box as well. I have the HDMI wire running from the receiver to the TV. The second HDMI wire from the cable box to the receiver. It works fine. I had to switch the HDMI port on my TV for some reason? I was not getting video, only sound? I tried a different port and it works fine. My problem is that my 7.1 surround sound speakers sound bad? I feel I have to turn the volume almost all the way up to get it even remotely loud.

It comes with a remote control - fancy one. I could never get my Coby to work. It won't even power up. When I sent it back to the factory to be fixed, they returned it (postage due) with no fixes or comments. If you want it, you can have it - free.

I have my M650VSE hooked up to a sound system and Comcast. At times, it does not start with all systems working and I have to reset my sound or comcast remote to get it back to where all systems are working. If your TV turns itself off while watching it, it seems that there may be a surge in your system either external or internal to it that makes it do so.I suggest you first try to see if there are external causes, and if that does prove to be the case, I would have a Vizio tech person check it out internally.Wish I could be more helpful.Ron

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

Sorry but the remote control is not compatible. That is why the volume doesn't work. I wasted my money on this contol also. In my case the remote control worked on the TV, but not on the cable box, or DVD and not on the Roku 3.

I got this for Comcast, found out later they won't let it on their system. I'd contact them and see if they allow it on their system.

The sound bar comes with a remote control that I use to control the volume and on / off operation. My comcast controller only changes the TV volume. I haven't tried to control it on the TV remote, which I use only to switch between various inputs (cable, DVD, DVD-R, Apple TV). I have been running the sound bar with the TV audio turned all the way down ... using both the TV and sound bar for audio created a little bit of an echo effect which I found annoying.

I've got the same issue. The remote will not adjust the volume. This remains a problem whether the speakers are hooked to the cable box audio out, or to the TV audio out.

Make sure your cable box is set to 1080P. I have stitched for a regular TV to a HD TV and had to call Comcast and reprogram the box. (easy to do over the phone)

I would try to contact Creative with this issue and try to have the remote replaced. What I assume is your problem is the fact that the system may not be able to sense when you try turning on the sound with the remote. The remote does not seem to have a switch inside of it that cuts the power on and off, and instead they seem to use a system where the device senses when the volume has been turned down all the way. Whatever system is sensing this may have broken and as a result the system will not power on. If it is in the remote itself, replacing it should help. If it is inside the subwoofer, I'm not sure it will help you much. Good luck. I would try to contact Creative with this issue and try to have the remote replaced.

Good question, but I don't know the answer. It's connected to a Sony Bravia television, but I've always used the remote that came with the sound bar to turn it on(no more room on the Comcast remote). I do know that when I turn it off, I only have to use the Comcast remote, however, which I've always found rather odd.
