For the cable box it shows up on the screen of the tv, but I haven't tried the other devices.

This is way past the date, but for reference, no. Only in setup does the GUI display. If you change volume or inputs or anything, there is no screen-overlay to show that.

My unit gets used daily and is working well. I set it up on installation and have no need to make adjustments however I vaguely recall manually selecting "toggling" through various options. I do not recall the option to input specific horizontal / vertical adjustments. There were many preset options and I eventually found the perfect resolution for my 50" display.

I do not know? Right out of the box it was perfect for me. I've never had to change the settings. I've owned it for over a year now.

No you can use the TV. Once programmed you're gonna want to turn off the TV speakers and use just the soundbar for sound. You might want to do it under aux though and set the default volume to aux instead of TV because if you do it on TV and just turn the internal TV speakers off you might get a message displayed on the screen every time you operate the volume. This soundbar sounds great too BTW. I've installed 5 of them and every customer loves them. Yes there are better ones out there, but it comes down to what you want to pay. Good luck and hope that helps

I'm not sure how it works... but when I switch channels my receiver shows how it adjusts such as -3db or +2 db to even it out. There's also 3 kinds of night mode: low, medium, and high that could also help.Actually I just looked at it... it says "Dialog Norm" then it lists the dB adjustment.Edit: I finally had a chance to look around at it. I guess it is only on the 876 and 906. I guess I never realized the volume difference since most of the time I skip commercials since I use a DVR. Sorry for the trouble man.

The small box works as a receiver. It's actually pretty cool because you can make audio adjustments and have a lot of devices hooked to it. You don't get this option with other sound bars that only plug into the TV set.

The device does not have a volume control, you will need to attach it to a source which will control the volume.This speaker selector can definitely handle what you want, as I have a similar setup in my house. The selector has only two inputs, and the remote doesn't appear to have a signal that you can program into other remotes, so you're probably best to just have a single input running to the selector. Run all your components into your receiver, and then connect the receiver's output to the selector as your zone 2 (I'd leave the primary output zone hooked up to the receiver's zone 1). Then use the selector to determine which zones you want turned on in your house.

There are several volume setting available during the set-up process. Be sure to refer to the user guide for specific instructions. I suggest keeping the user guide handy when using the device until you are totally familiarized with the various settings. It is a little confusing to set-up.

Yes I have two doors a window and a moton sensor all on one unit the receiver is in the living room. Then I bought a second receiver and put the same 4 devices programed in it, in the bed room. This way I can montor all 4 sendors in two places. The only problem is if someone leaves the door open the unit will sound until that door is closed. However it will still monitor the windows while the doot is open. There are 4 leds on the receiver and the door will flash and the window will flash, if thew are both open. I hope this helps. Ernie

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.

Yes. The soundbar can learn other remotes, and turn on and off with the TV. It can even learn the up & down volume from the TV remote. I was able to configure the 60" Sharp LED LCD TV to send audio through the optical out, so volume is only via the soundbar. And it makes a huge difference. I have it wall mounted under the TV. And since it's shallower than the TV + TV wall mount I was able to install it just above the bottom edge of the TV, so there are no visible cables. This is one of the best electronic purchases I've made recently. I highly recommend it.

I have had the 46B650 (not the A) for about 3 weeks, and this audio delay problem (AND IT IS A PROBLEM) was something I noticed right away. I like many of you, do have a receiver with external speakers for surround sound when I need it, or just when I need it loud. However I do still like to be able to use the TV's internal speakers to provide more voice clarity, or just a quasi-center volume control. However the audio from the receiver seems to be ahead of the image. If I only use the internal speakers it's fine. If I only use the external speakers it's fine. However when I use both there is a very noticeable echo that is unacceptable. Previously my setup had the audio right from my Comcast Cable Box to the receiver, and separately to the TV via the HDMI. Since I had this delay I purchased an optical audio cable and ran that from the TV to the receiver, thinking this would allow the TV to synchronize the audio it was emitting with the audio signal it was outputting to the receiver. NO SUCH LUCK. This does not fix the problem. My Sony STR-DE595 receiver does not have any settings to delay the audio. And there are no settings on the TV to assist with this issue. Samsung was nice enough to put something in the menu which lets you choose internal or external speaker, which basically disables the TV speaker. Thank you jacka$$es, I can turn the TV down myself. ----------- MY SOLUTION THAT WORKED! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK---------- Enter that Secret Menu which can be accessed by doing this: 1. Turn off the TV 2. Press 'Mute' '1' '8' '2' 'Power' 3. The TV will start and you will be in the SM (give it a few extra seconds). Once in the Secret Menu navigate to Control &gt; SOUND Change the setting "Speaker Delay Normal" all the way down to 0x00h This seems to synchronize the audio from my TV speakers to the Receiver's speakers without any noticeable lag between the video and the audio. Hope this helps some of you out there, be careful with those other settings as it's easy to activate changes unintentionally.

Yes, there is. However, it is of constant full volume nature and cannot be varied with the volume control on the TV remote. This is one major weakness to add to the already known issue of relatively muffled sound from the built in speakers. When connected via toslink or HDMI to a receiver that accepts either of these newer standards, the sound is clean, noise-free and quite superb from DVD sources routed via the TV. However, only the Digital Audio channels seem to allow volume adjust from the remote control. Since the signal is going to a receiver, I expect most people will use the receiver remote and volume control instead. If the receiver is compatible with the component sync features of the TV, then the TV remote will learn and operate the receiver, too. All challenges, and I think, in the end, more product upgrades and so on to achieve peace. There is a Samsung SoundBar but most reviewers are not thrilled with the boomy bass and relatively high cost (list $400). Many others have preferred other soundbar options. I would advise listening first, then choosing something that sounds right to your tastes.

It does. It allows you to adjust settings through various menus on the TV. It also will show volume adjustments for a short period when you adjust them up/down. Hoep that helps?

It is not fully backlit. The LCD display and the middle button along the top row are backlit, but only when other buttons are pressed. It has a learning feature, but I haven't had to use it. I've been able to get by just be entering codes for other devices. But that's mostly unnecessary if your other devices support HDMI control (CEC). For me, I only needed to enter the code for my TV. Oh, this is an excellent receiver. It sounds so much better than the one it replaced. If needed, Yamaha support is excellent as well; they're available 24/7, even on weekends.

The idea is that the receiver then controls everything. So when you switch inputs on the receiver, it then switches both audio and video. Otherwise you'd have to switch the receiver input, and then go switch the TV input. Of course, this only applies if you have more than one video source (eg: blu Ray player and Xbox and cable box or DVR). It really is ultra useful and only adds one HDMI cable. HOWEVER: do not buy this specific receiver. It does not handle HDMI switching well (only passes through video does not capture audio), plus the sound quality is horrible. Get a more modern and high quality one, such as a Yamaha or Denon.

That's the default setting of the TV. It can be changed in the TV settings.
