When I turn off the power with cable remote, TV (samsung pn64f8500) and soundbar turn off. When I turn on TV and soundbar both power up. The problem is that after a 5 seconds the soundbar switches to a different input. Does anyone have a similar...

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 think if your connecting TV (Digital Coaxial) is on and supplying returning current, the Soundbar should be on.. Otherwise it is an enrgy saving mechanism and for a purpose.

Try plugging a lamp into one of the other controlled sockets. It does not turn off after 20 minutes, but the sound bar does, then there is something wrong with the sound bar. If the lamp does turn off when the sound bar turns off, it might be that the current draw of the TV is marginal with respect to the trigger point of the ZuniDigital. Plug the TV --AND-- the lamp (with about a 50 Watt bulb) into the ZuniDigital main socket by using a multitap AC adapter. If the sound bar stays on, it will prove that the TV current draw was not high enough for the ZuniDigital. If the sound bar still turns off, replace the ZuniDigital.

The issue seems to be related to Bravia Link (HDMI-Control/HDMI-CEC) Disable "Control over HDMI" and my issues have been resolved. This may help you, it may not. This only seems to help with my Bravia turning off and the random "reset" of the video input together. Audio doesn't seem to have any issues since I have sound disabled and it is being piped from the over Optical to a Sony Soundbar.

I'm not sure if it's same problem I have. It drops off if on "mute" so I just turn the sound way down instead. I have to shut down the TV and the DishTV receiver for a few seconds then turn both back on. otherwise. The sound comes back on. I have been able to just power on the sound using the included remote.

Yes, I have the exact same problem. We just took the sound bar off. The TV's speakers are fine. I hate that it is a waste, though.

Hi Kyle B., whether you use HDMI or an optical port, your TV will output sound for all your devices hooked up to the TV. In my case, I have XBox360, PS3, and a computer connected to my HDTV. As long as your TV is turned on, the sound bar will work for all the devices hooked up to the TV, which means if you turn off your TV, the sound bar will be automatically turned off as well. There is a small difference between HDMI and an optical port in terms of the quality of sound. I tried both and decided that I prefer an optical port, but it's highly likely that you might have a different opinion. Anyway, the sound bar is pretty cool. I've been using it for months by now and completely satisfied so far. I highly recommend it to you. Hope this helps!

Remove m power, plug tv directly into wall and see if tv turns off. If it doesn't turn off, your m power is over heating and possibly shorting out. It's very possible that your tv is over heating as well. Remember these conditioners only clean and stabilize power. Hope this was helpful

You know, I never thought about checking it. All I can say is I have one serving each of our computers and they work perfectly. Thinking of replacing the regular APC on the TV. But I'm not sure it will shut off my subwoofer when the tv is turned off because the tv still draws an amp or two when it's off. Maybe I'll try one of the 'master control" surge arresters to see if will shut off the subwoofer, before I get another one. Anyway, when you turn on or off the computer, the monitor and speakers come on or off with it. Nice.

Did you experience this crackling when you turned the TV on too? I have a Samsung 4671 and it crackles when I turn it on and off. I actually returned the first TV and the second TV crackles more, which makes me think it may not be the power supply. However, what did you have to do to remedy the problem?

There is a feature on the TV that will turn it off due to inactivity. If you go into the settings you can change that to an extended period of time, but I am not sure if you can turn it off completely. If it isn't that than I am not sure what the issue would be from. Hope this helps.

I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions. The sound bar works fine with it. When the TV or the (Samsung) DVD player is turned on, the sound bar turns on. The sound bar has to be set to HDMI with the remote, it doesn't set itself. It comes with one HDMI cable and one optical cable. When I turn off the TV, the sound bar and the DVD player automatically turn themselves off.I have one HDMI cable from the DVD player to the sound bar, and a second HDMI cable from the sound bar to the TV. I run the optical cable from the TV to the sound bar for regular TV. The sound is not audiophile quality, but it's perfectly acceptable for our family use. I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions.

Every time the TV is turned on, you must also turn on the sound bar. When the sound bar is turned on, the volume is all the way down. You then have to use the sound bar remote and raise the volume on the sound bar back up to a usable level. The TV volume control the volume within a range, but you must first bring the sound bar volume back up. I was using optical and also tried the regular RCA jacks.

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 had that problem and it was because my tv volume was too low when I set it up. If you turn up your tv volume before you disable the tv speakers it should work. If the soundbar is ringing during silences your tv volume is too loud.

The sound bar comes with a remote control that I use to control the volume and on / off operation. My comcast controller only changes the TV volume. I haven't tried to control it on the TV remote, which I use only to switch between various inputs (cable, DVD, DVD-R, Apple TV). I have been running the sound bar with the TV audio turned all the way down ... using both the TV and sound bar for audio created a little bit of an echo effect which I found annoying.

yup i have the same issue apparently its cause of the tv drawing lot of power dur to its fast start up . try plugging it in to the wall direcly ie with no other devices plugged in. i also notice that it only happenes if i have had the tv off for a while eg over nigt and not if it turn it off wait a few mins and turn it on so it must be some thing with the power. i would still call samsung and see whats up.
