Does this soundbar use Samsung soundshare? And will my tv remote control it?

I wish I could answer the first question. Mine is connected to a Samsung TV with an optical cable, though it has HDMI and RCA plug connectors available. My TV remote will control it, but I prefer to keep the controls separate, as there are many more options on the soundbar remote. It is occasionally necessary to work with the sync for reasons I don't understand for one, and the wide quality variations in audio input make other control features handy for good sound reproduction.

You have to use the HDMI Arc with the sound bar on D.in, the tv remote will control the sound bar volume, the cable remote seems to control the volume as well. I had to call Samsung support to figure all this out, the directions are terrible.

Yes. Simply use the audio out plugs on the back of the TV to the matching inputs on the back of the Soundbar. Once connected, you'll want to turn the volume control down on the TV to let the Soundbar system take over. Cheers!

I'm running everything through my Samsung TV then out to the sound bar through the Digital Optical Cable. So my 3D Blu-Ray player and Xbox 360 run to the TV, then out to the sound bar. The remote for the Samsung TV will control the sound bar power and volume. The sound bar only has two inputs, the Digital Optical and the standard Left and Right RCA plugs. I've got the 7100 series Samsung TV, but if the model you are looking at has Digital Optical out, you should be fine. The sound bar comes with the correct cable to plug into the TV.

I don't know if you can use the TV remote or not with the soundbar. I did however have to buy a universal remote about 2 weeks after I purchased the soundbar because the remote that came with it stopped working. Also, after about 2 months I had to start turning the volume all the way up to get clear sound. I only use this in a bedroom, I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're using it in a living room or a family room.

I used it with a Samsung tv (w/o ARC) with only the optical connecting to it and the bar would turn on/off with the tv. Or on/off with the bluray via the hdmi signal. In addition, volume for the soundbar automatically linked to my Samsung remote via the anynet+ feature.

I have a Polk Audio SurroundBar IHT 6000 Instant Home Theater that works with the Samsung UN46F7100 46-Inch 1080p 240Hz 3D Ultra Slim Smart LED HDTV. Havent configured the remote control unit yet but as long as you have digital optical on your tv you'll be fine

I don't understand the question, but if the question is, if your TV remote will operate the soundbar - I don't know, I use the remote that came with the soundbar.

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

Sorry for the delay, you'd have to check your TV User Guide to be sure... but I do believe the Smart TV's offer wireless control to the sound bar; thus, provide access to sound control without any hassle. I do not have a Smart TV, so I had to use a Harmony remote...

No it doesn't work with Comcast remote. Also I would avoid this soundbar all together, it is a piece of junk! It had problems within the first month of owning it. You should spend a little more and get something decent.

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.

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.

Yes, it works on my samsung sound bar. Use the disc to install software. Worked easily

I believe the Soundshare function is only a wireless link that is possible with a Samsung LED with the SoundShare feature. Otherwise, there are several different ways to connect the video source to this Soundbar. I use a Toslink (fiber optic) cable to connect my soundbar to my desktop Alienware computer, and I use the SoundShare feature to link my Soundbar to my Samsung LED. SoundShare is in my opinion, the best way (no wire clutter), and the sound is great, although the subwoofer bass can overwhelm the dialogue while listening to a movie with this soundbar, if at low volume level, which i often have to use late at night. Hope this helps! I believe the Soundshare function is only a wireless link that is possible with a Samsung LED with the SoundShare feature.

I can only respond that is does not work with Samsung apps on my supposedly Smart TV, and that each company claims the other for the shortcoming. It does improve the sound substantially over the poor speakers on all types of LCD and Plasma TVs.

I believe it depends on how you have it set up. You can route the TV sound out into the soundbar, so if your TV remote controls the volume of its audio out then yes. We have ours set to just use the TV as a monitor, and the sound signal comes from our TiVo/Xbox/Blue Ray player, etc., so we use the soundbar remote to control volume. Except the TiVo remote also works, so we usually use that since we usually just watch TiVo.
