The sound does not respond to the remote control unless you are within 2 feet

You may have a defective unit.. Mine works at 12 feet away just fine and also I programmed the soundbar to my directv remote.. I don't even use the soundbar remote anymore. Hope that helps

I do not have that problem. My remote controls the device from across the room, which is probably 15 feet, without any difficulty. Sounds like the device or remote is faulty that Barb W. has.

There's an option to put the subwoofer on mute it's on the remote but if you don't have the remote you can't

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.

The volume should go to 20+ on the digital readout on the front of the bar. I rarely go above 17, because it is way too loud. At level 3 it should be nearly inaudible. I assume you have turned the TV speakers off. You could have a bad remote (it's a poor remote to begin with). I suggest changing the battery as soon as you get it. If not the remote, you probably have a defective unit.

The remote was the lest of my problems. To be honest it may not be the remote. The whole unit is bad. Give it up and see if you can get a MP3 and a small set of speakers.

The sound is not very loud, I don't think you would hear it from 25 ft. away.

Dear Joseph,Thanks for your inquiry. This speaker package needs to connect to a receiver for the speakers to receive sound. Of course, the receiver would then have a remote control. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

These are small RF based units and you would have to be within 30' or so when you activate the signal to find the missing remote. I suppose you could walk around your warehouse activating the signal until you hear the response signal. Not too effective in my opinion.

I am not sure what distance you are talking about. I have 1/2 acre property and parent's unit picks monitor sound everywhere.

The sound does not echo but I can't change the remote to stereo. Any suggestions.

This device does not control the volume on your TV: you must use your TV's remote or built-in volume controls.

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

No. The range is poor and the remote must be pointing straight at the receiver sensor.

The speaker-to-speaker cord, which is permanently attached to one unit and plugs into the other, is six feet long. No, there is no remote control for this $99 speaker system. Your music playing device, be it TV or stereo or computer, might have one. This is an excellent little speaker system at an excellent price, and you will not regret buying it. Granted, the Bluetooth speaker "brick" is a nifty gadget and it tempted me, but this is better sound for one-third the price.
