Can anyone tell me if the LCD can be shut off and just hear the TV audio?

Don't think you can. Start with pressing the setup button on your remote which allows you to control screen stuff. In the manual, there is no mention of the option therein you seek.

yes, and it also has a feature that you can turn on that will turn it off automatically after 15 mins if there is no input. ie if your game system or cable automatically turns off, so will your tv.

There is no way to turn the volume off when it is hooked to the tv. I have tried everything. I contacted Orei and they said to mute the unit, but if you do that you mute the sound on the tv as well. The way I have gotten around this problem is I plug the earbuds that came with unit into the headphone jack. The sound will go into them and you don't have sound of the unit and tv going at the same time. I hope this helps. :)

I presume you can do that. Mine is part of my home theater system. I turn the TV off if I just want to listen to CDs. However, I tune in to the music channels on my cable service to listen to a lot of music.

No there is no way to turn it off. Unless you tried to pull out the speaker. Which I'm sure would void any warranty, I'm not sure how hard that would be either.

the only time mine turns off is when the tv is turned off, the sound bar will auto turn off.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

It depends on how your TV delivers it's sound. If it has a low level analogue out(RCA jacks) you should have no problem(except for a possible delay in the sound. However if your only output is a headphone jack, it might defeat the TV sound. I can't really help you without your TV's manual.

I think it depends on your TV. My TV is a LG panel ---- and it has only one sound out, so when using this speaker, the TV is silent - the sound output uses an optical cable. We did try to split the sound (using a 'thinga ma job') and when that didn't work gave up trying.

You can use the cable remote and i guess you can always buy the universal remote to make it work,There is a button under the tv/monitor that shuts it off and does a couple of other things, hope this helps

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.

My display is always on, as well. I don't see anything in the user's manual indicating that there is a way to shut the display off.

Audio should be no problem soon as you connect it to HDMI on your tv but the one i purchased didn't work at all but i guess thts why its cheap...so good luck!

Yes, you can hear either. You just have to mute the TV speakers if you don't want to hear them.

Yes, you can turn it off, but you will need to pick another mode. If you don't have a cable service with HD, then don't even bother watching shows with this TV. Sadly, the definition is so good, that the standard cable service looks bad. Plasma (this is my opinion) is the worst of the three ( LCD, LED and Plasma). The graphics and quality of the images (HD or 3D) are beautiful. I already gave you my opinion about cable, so I'll tell you about the rest: Videogames: They look like you are watching a movie! Movies (DVD): It depends of the quality of the movie, a couple of them may look bad bacause of the ratio. Movies (Blu-Ray): Soap Opera makes them look like you are watching how the movie is being film. Movies (3D): I'll call this the best 3D you can get out there. My big concern was this. I wanted a TV with the best 3D definition for my movies. This TV went over my expectations.

Yes you can mute it, but need to hit the power button on the unit to actually turn power off
