HI!, have any of you had any luck programming a different brand of remote to control this sound bar? I have a Tivo and would like to control the audi

I had no trouble at all. I use Time Warner and using the set-up instructions, it has worked well, including TIVO. My advice is to get all the information available for Energy Power Bar and give their customer service call. For the price, its a good box.

It does work, but it can be picky. It will not work with my panasonic 42" S60 plasma. I gave up trying and just use the supplied remote.

I had to send my sound bar back, so when their remote didn't work right, I lost interest in the product.

I tried programming my directv remote to it and it was a disaster. All it would do is mute constantly

I have a 6 series tv and the soundbar remote works for the tv, but not the other way around, so I just use the soundbar remote bc it can change channels and volume (for both soundbar and tv) plus view tv channel info and has a previous channel shortcut button. I really like the soundbar remote because it has a MUCH better range, even using it to change tv channels, then the Samsung TV remote. Oh, my soundbar is hooked up via optical.

I wish I could help but unfortunately I can't. I don't have direct tv I use time warner cable as my cable provider. I use one remote for my tv and the boston acoustic remote for the volume on my sound bar.

Hi Bantjh2o, the issue with the input is controlled by your TV and not by the SoundBar. The SoundBar is an Audio Ouput device which doesn't have control over Input selection.

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.

Hope you don't think I am being a wiseass, but are the blue lights on your soundbar on? Our first mistake was thinking that the green power light was "on". If the blue lights are not on, that is probably your problem. Next was the source. We use our bar on source 2, (there will be two blue lights on). The directions are poorly written, so we called the tech support number in the instructions. I recommend you do the same. The guy will walk you through syncing the remotes, and any other questions you may have. You will definitely want to sync this to your main remote. Hope this helps.

I was able to get the volume control working on this model with the DirecTV controller. You just have to follow the DirecTV instructions on MENU/Remote Control. I said I had a Sony but they did not list the model. So it began searching for codes (they said there were 95 codes they would test) and on Code 3 it worked.

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.

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 only way I could get my system to work was to use the optic cable. At the present time, I turn on my TV first, then my sound bar. I do have to use a desperate remote. Still working thru that issue. Otherwise, I love the sound bar. It is no true surround sound, but close enough for me at the price point.I as never able to get the system to work thru HDMI or ARC, no matter what I did, even got online. Good luck. The optic works once you hit the function key on the remote. I found out by accident, just before I was getting ready to return. Glad I didn't!!!!

The remote probably controls the audio output, but you need a separate amp/speakers for audio.You can also run the RCA outs to your car stereo input.

Logitech sells remotes (get their cheap ones no need to spend too much). They have a database online to program it to control the Boston Accoustic Soundware XS. I made sure that another remote can learn its commands before buying this thing because that remote is SMALL. Hope it works for you!

I'd like to add one further data point to the Audi issue. On my 2010 A4 (B8) with MMI cable, it does work, although the connection is not that stable, and it frequently needs to be "re-paired."

Mine works great! You have to go to advanced remote set up,and program the remote for an Audio device. If you have any problems let me know.Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you as I am having similar problems. Hooked my YHT S-400 up to an LG TV and I can't get the sound bar to work. Sound is coming through the sub-woofer but nothing through the sound bar. All connections appear good and the HDMI Audio is set to AMP as per instructions. Wondering if the sound bar itself is defective.
