Does this have volume passthrough? I want while it's on TV input, to be able to control my Onkyo stereo volume instead of the TV. Possible?

No it doesn't. This Sony remote doesn't have volume passthrough on IR. -Ely

volume will not be louder but sound quality? Hell yes. Use the Vizio speakers and the HT12B together if you can. Some hookup methods will allow tv remote to mute both speaker sets, others will mute only tv speakers as mine does. I use minor volume on the HTB with maximum bass. This way I get better directional sound and a much fuller bass, but when muting a tv ad the volume is minimal. Cheers

This has nothing to do with the headphone, but rather the TV. In my case, my TV has a LINE OUT that I use to connect to the headphone, so the TV volume control, speaker, and mute functions all work as normal. But if you plug the headphone base into the "headphone" jack of the TV, the TV's speaker is almost always muted.Bottom line--check it with any pair of wired headphones/earphones you may have laying around....

Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right? Thanks for any info.

Could you please help me?I'd like to use it as a replacement for my controller but can't get it to work. I got it to control my TV volume only. ..help please!

I have it connected to my receiver, and thence to my speakers. I can't say authoritatively, but it seems to me to send music to the receiver as well as an HDMI cable. But let me emphasize that if you walk in front of or obstruct the direct line of sight in any way, the sound will stutter and skip, whether it's music or TV/movie.

A quick visit to the Audioengine web site (hint!) shows (since I'm at work and cannot look at the back of my speakers at home...) that the system has two input modes: the four RCA (+/-, LR) connectors, and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack. However, if your TV has only digital outputs available (which would seem odd, to me), some kind of converter would be required, I should think.

My speakers and headset responds the same as yours by not muting with the TV. It actually even keeps working (broadcasting the station) when the TV is off. I have the unit connected directly to the "Cable Box" and not the TV Unit.

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.

Which of the two optical inputs on the Onkyo do you feed the optical cable from the TV to? I'm not having success in getting satellite video and audio through the Onkyo to play at the same time.

This is because your Onkyo only does HDMI Passthrough and no audio processing. It's basically an HDMI switch. So you need a separate audio connection to get sound to your AVR.

I have the same problem with the Yamaha RX-V665... Probably the same deal as Onkyo... no toggle mode.

Yes it does, in the audio playback section of the setup menu (if I remember correctly), under variable or fixed output, select VARIABLE, this will allow you to control the volume from the remote.

I suggest the GefenTV Auto Volume Stabilizer with Digital Audio Decoder to bridge the gap between optical out and RCA, though it is expensive. The Vizio passive "Cinema 3D" TVs seem to have RCA audio out, but Panasonic and Samsung plasmas do not. [Many cheaper decoders cannot handle the Dolby signal emanating from the optical output, but this one can.]

Have this same problem with Onkyo TX-SR606- tried different codes but can't seem to get any to it properly. Best I can get is to turn receiver off and adjust volume. But will not turn on with remote.Maybe a different code??

Does this mean that the speakers on teh TV will still be able to play audio?And that the audio from the DVD needs to get to the Onkyo via optical?So you can use the TV for center speaker, and the rest of the speakers for the soundstage? Sounds good! And also allows the system to remain simple to use (for the wife) without the Onkyo, but can easily become a ciname system at the press of a power button? Wow!

If I have my ps4 hooked into the receiver, can I do pass through audio having my AVR/Surround sound turned off if I chose? With audio still coming into my tv speakers?Thanks
