Sry I don't have the dish.. I guess you would call the dish so they can give you the codes to program the remote..

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!!!

I was able to program the Vizio VSB200 soundbar with my DISH remote (20.0 IR) by using code 833. I am able to control everything except for the TVOL and TSHD settings.

I have dish and even knowing the code for it it would not work. Using separate remotes.

If you are using a Dish network remote try a power scan, that is while the tv is on: 1. Press and hold the clear/gray "TV" button on the upper left of the remote up until the mode buttons next to "TV" turn on, when that happens let go of the "TV" button. 2.Press the BIG red power button (NOT the little red TV button) then let go of it. 3.Press CHANNEL UP once every second, everytime you press CHANNEL UP the remote will send a code to the tv and if the last code sent to the tv works the tv will turn off. 4.As soon as the tv turns off press the POUND (#) button to save that last code sent. Turn the tv on by pressing the little red "TV" button and once its on try your volume. I hope it helps.

Yes. You're able to program the sound bar to receive signals from any remote. The manual has step-by-step instructions on how to do it.

The sound bar is a completely independent speaker system controlled by a seperate remote. When connected to your tv using the supplied optical cord your surround sound will still function normally as wiill the built in tv speakers

Almost forgot, I don't have my TV here, but is there any automatic sound adjust in the setup menu you can turn off?

I've got mine hooked up to our Panasonic Viera TV and the sound bar goes on automatically with the TV

I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. The sound bar has its own remote. You might check with the Vizio website. Wish I could be of more assistance.

I have mine connected via hdmi and can use my tv remote to control volume. There is a slight delay between when the tv is turned on and when the sound bar turns on.

I believe if you have SIMPLINK on your TV and ARC, you can connect the bar through HDMI and use the TV's remote to control the soundbar, however, on the soundbar's remote there are buttons to control basic operation of the TV: POWER, INPUT, VOLUME+/- and CHANNEL +/- so for everyday operation you could just use the soundbar's remote, and switch to the TV's remote when you need to change TV settings.

Yes. Not sure if you'd be able to control the volume with your Dish remote. It depends on how the dish receiver handles the audio output.

I do not know. I turn my sound bar off when I am done using it then turn it back on when I use it. I suggest you contact vizio.

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.

Apparently not. DirecTV rep could not get the sound bar to recognize the remote for whatever reason. Certainly would like to find a way to connect though as the sound bar is a nice improvement to the sound quality.

I agree, Push the TV Sound button on the remote control. This worked for me.

I must have missed this. Vizio sound bars are very common (Costco). The fact that Sony doesn't support it is a major oversight. I'll have to send mine back. Tried the learn code on the remote and it doesn't find a match. Vizio is listed on the TV, just not audio. Too bad.
