I went on this very same adventure many months ago. I cannot remember which setting on the DTV remote I used but suffice it say you can get it to kind of work, but not with the volume keys on the DTV remote. My current setup will allow me adjust the sound bar volume but only when I switch the remote to av1 mode. Then only the dvd controls directly below the PWR button adjust the volume. The skip ahead button (1:00 from the play button on the remote) causes it to increase volume. The Play button (Middle of DVD controls on the DTV remote.) causes it to turn down the sound bar. This was the only way I could find a way to make it work. Hope this helps some.

I contacted Vizio customer service. I provided proof that I purchased the sound bar just a few months ago. I am waiting to hear if they will replace the sound bar. My husband found advice to hold down the on/off button simultaneously with the volume up and down button to reset the sound bar. Unfortunately, it appears that there is no power getting to the sound bar... even though the transformer is definitely getting power.

Use with a TV that is not Sony brand requires using two remotes, the one operating the TV and the Sony Soundbar remote for volume and muting. I am disappointed about this quirky feature which seems was not addressed when manufactured, but for the money paid, the sound bar continues to work very well as a welcome TV sound upgrade that I am still very satisfied with, and seemed a good value to me when purchased. However, now, about a year plus later of use, there might be better values available. I evaluated a lot of sound bar systems in this price range before settling on this one. I'm glad I have a soundbar system with a separate woofer. It seems to be important in achieving richer sound. Good luck.

Following up on my earlier answer, I just realized that you might have your sound bar hanging on a wall above the TV, so you really need a remote. My sound bar is sitting on a shelf in front of my TV. Don't rule out St. Anthony!

The back of my sound bar has an "Opt In" for the optical cable, a LAN port (although it connects to Wi-Fi), and an HDMI out to run the same apps which come with the LG TV. We use the Optical cable through the Opt In port. The volume is controlled by the remote that came with the sound bar. We don't use the HDMI port out, there is no "In HDMI" port on the bar. I hope this helps, good luck!

Unless your tv has the old audio out jacks (red white av) you have to plug it into your cable box or DVD player. I had the same problem and I had to plug it into my cable box audio out jacks. Most newer tv's don't have those jacks anymore. They have the optical audio out jack which I'm not sure this sound bar has. Hope that helps.

A.K. Oh sorry we hooked the speakers up thru our direct tv box so yes the tv speakers worked but they are not good speakers so we put the tv on mute and only listened to the sound bar as it has a much better sound. that is the reason we ordered the sound bar. we did try to hook up the sound bar on the back of the tv audio output but then nothing worked. the tv has a very poor speaker system tv is a Hisence and it does not have very good features either. would never recommend that tv. Also the sound bar would not work if we put it thru the tv audio out and used the tv with a antenna. hope this is helpful. A.K.

I don'y know as this is the problem I have had and no answer yet as I have not been able to link it with my Panasonic sound bar. When (and if) I do I will post the fix.

If you have Direct Tv you can use the rca jacks from your receiver and plug them right into your sound bar and then just turn up the volume on the tv and the sound bar. Works fine. Make sure you have a hdmi cable plugged into your receiver and tv. I hope this helps.

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

I have a RCA universal that I direct key programmed some functions to, however, once I connected the HDMI from the tv ARC to the sound bar ARC the volume control automatically worked without having to change the input source on the remote. I don't know about your specific remote but looks to me if it is a universal it probably would.

No you will need to use the remote on the sound bar. I have not found a configurable remote that adjusts it other than the one it comes with. Besides you would not want audio coming from the TV speakers and the sound bar as it would sound terrible. What I do is set the TV sound at zero and just adjust volume via the sound bar control.

Hello, this Sony Universal Remote RMVZ320 doesn't have a remote code for your Vizio Sound bar. -Ely

Yes, I bought the sound bar after the tv and only need the tv remote. Warning: This bar is not very loud! My wife still has a hard time listening to the tv when running on the treadmill. The whole reason I purchased it.
