I assume I can plug this to a TV via audio jack....can I still use the TV remote to control the volume?

Yes you can, but I prefer the sound when I keep the TV volume about mid-range and adjust the volume with the tower remote.

As I am not familiar with that television remote control, I cannot say. We use the sound bar remote control for all our TV sound, adjusting the actual TV sound output to "0", and then use the sound bar output for all the audio. That sound is obviously a much better balance, with greater bass than is possible from the TV alone.

Yes I think so if your sound bar as a Headphone jack then end of sound bar To wire then your Headphone in sound bar then use your Remote to Vol

I don't think you can have a separate remote to control the volume for these... but rather you can buy a bluetooth audio receiver and hook it in and wirelessly stream audio to the speakers. Audio engine has a wireless transmitter and receiver but thats 150$. You can buy a belkin one for 20$ and it works perfectly for me.

Yes, your TV remote will control the volume and will turn the unit off when you turn the TV off.

Of course it can be used with a TV. The cord is pretty long, although not as long as some other headphones. There is no volume control on the headphones themselves, but you can use you TV's volume control.

Yes you can. If your tv has a 3.5mm headphone/earphone jack. Once you have plugged it in, turn the volume on the tv up to half, and gauge the sound with the volume control on the Altec speakers. Then you can use the tv remote to adjust volume from there.

Yes. There is a way to connect it with the remote, but I did not do it that way. I use the remote from the TV to set the sound level and then use my cable remote for sound adjustment.

We purchased these for an elderly friend who wanted to hear her TV without her hearing aids in. She says that they are loud enough, but that she can't control the volume from her remote. Some TVs (like my Vizio) have a setting in the menu that determines whether the TV volume switches also control the audio output. The TV we purchased this for doesn't have this feature; the output volume is constant. So, she has to get up and move the knob on the speakers to change the volume. I'd have to check with her but I believe "mute" still works from the remote. Depending on your TV, you may need an adapter to plug it in.

I haven't been able to, yet anyway. I'm still using two remotes. Cable remote for the TV and the Coby remote to control the volume. The volume button on the TV remote doesn't seem to do much. That being said, I'm sure there's a way to program them but I haven't taken the time to figure it out.

There is a mini jack port (not sure about the tv specifics) and yes he remote is for control of volume and on/off

No, unfortunately the volume control on the remote only works for the companion integrated amplifier (sold separately of course).

The volume can only be controlled by the sound bar remote. I thought this would be a problem but I have my television audio set to auto adjust sound and very rarely need to ever pickup the sound bar remote.

Yes, as long as your TV or Computer has standard RCA out jacks. Plug in a set of cables & you're good to go. Most of the TVs with output jacks provide only a pre-amplified signal, so you will have to control the volume at the receiver.

As Far as i could tell the remote does not control the audio out. i have a remote for my speakers so i control those seperatly.

You should be able to do this if you use the mini-jack (3.5mm) or RCA port on the speakers for the TV connection. As the other answers said, you'll still have to press the bluetooth button on the remote.

It should work fine for adjusting volume if you connect it via HDMI with the HDMI arc port on your tv. If you want to change sound settings, you'll have to use the original remote for the sound bar.
