Can I use my comcast cable remote for sound? Instead of the Samsung remote?

You sure can. You just need to look up the codes for Samsung to program the remote.

Well, we have Xfinity Comcast and we use one remote, so I am not sure if that helps you or not.

I see no reason why that wouldn't be the case, although it may require you to switch between devices. I am using the system through my universal cable remote and have it set up as the "auxiliary" device. If I don't switch to auxiliary before using the volume buttons, the remote logic thinks I want to adjust the volume on my flat screen. You could route the audio through your TV, but then any volume adjustment would include the TV speakers which sound terrible. I'm running a fiber optic cable from my cable control box directly to my system. Sounds terrific.

works fine with 3 of mine--shut off your tv speakersonly problem is , if you have comcast, the remote signals overlap.if you are going through the channels, the volume changes.. very annoying and a pain in the ass. unit sounds terrific, but the crossover of remote signals is a load of crap. had i known this, i would have purchased a different brand.. if you don't have comcast , you're fine.

hi john,what you need to do is feed the HDMI from the comcast box to the back of the tv and then run a optical cable from the box to the reciever ,when you want to listen to audio just press the bottom from were you are feeding the cable DVD,DVR/VCR,CABLE,ETC,ETC.you decide wish one to use,i hope this help you out good luck.

The TV set up asks you to specify your cable provider and plan. That apparently synced to the remote to bring up the cable box search functions, as well as change channels and volume. The Comcast/Xfinity remote has more feature though, so I use it too.

I do not have comcast, but the upstar would not hook up to my cable at all. I had to use the remote that came with the TV to change channels and the cable remote to turn it on. Worst sound that I have ever heard on TV or any thing else.

Don't think there is a way to do it using the remote, though there's always the dark side path by cutting the cables going to the speaker :)

Options button in your remote and chose "sound mode".....and try standard in the submenu....

I am not sure about cable remote, but I have a base Logitech that I have programmed to it.

I don't know if the TV has IR - not a tech person. But I can use my FiOS remote to turn the TV on, but I can't control the volume. I think you can, but I played around with my FiOS remote and it doesn't control the volume anymore.

Unfortunately, you can't.... I even called DirecTV to find out if I could program their remote to handle this sound bar and they told me "No". Thus, I ended up buying a Universal WR7 remote which I programmed to handle my DirecTV DVR, HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and the sound bar as well. The WR7 is currently working great for me in this capacity. Hope this helps!!!

Make sure u set the input from the VIZIO remote to "TV"...then u control the comcast via the comcast remote.

I have my 60 inch Samsung and have a Samsung IR plugged in to the tv. My cable box, receiver and all other stuff are in a closet 15ft away... I purchased a 12ft 3.5 male to female audio extension cable which works fine with the Samsung IR and that sends the signal to my tv remote to control the cable box and the volume... So I barely use the receiver remote... If I do want to change something I'd use the app on my phone or ipad...
