You have to turn on the kuro link function in order to turn the reciever on/off by the remote. I've experienced the same problem when I turned off the Kuro link function.

@ Getulio L. If you are asking a question.... Perhaps you could elaborate. For example You might say: I've owned the system for 3 yrs, I've never had a problem with it before but this time.... when I .... it didn't work. Then explain the process you used to try to get it to work:. I plugged in the TX card into the unit (with the unit off). I then FIRST plugged in the remote unit and let it cycle through it's power up routine.... if there was a problem there??? or you don't see the blinking LEDs tell us that. After that powers up & ONLY after you first power on the wireless speaker unit do you then plug in the main unit.... So when you did that what happened. You have to provide information & context. Maybe someone just gave you the unit and it's your first time trying it out, maybe you've had it for years and had a a power surge etcetera etcetera etcetera how are we supposed to guess what the details of your situation are?!?

I haven't had such a problem, but I have experienced sluggish or incorrect response to the button control which was solved with the remote use. If your buttons work & you have after purchase warrantee, I would suggest using the warrantee to repair. If buttons work but not the remote then question the remote performance. Sorry I'm not more help. I have, however, purchased 4 units for myself and others and had issues twice that had to be resolved thru warantee use. Good Luck!

I have not had this problem so I may not be of much help. However, did the sreen suddenly stop working? Do you get any sound? I assume you tried both the remote and the button controls on the top of the box. Do your voltages match? (Assuming you are in S. America and not Columbia, Tennessee, USA!)

I haven't had any problems with mine. There is not a light on the remote that comes on. I have also used other remotes and controllers with mine.

Well, in the past I had programmed the original Vizio power button to power on the DVD player, TV and Cable Box at the same time. All worked well until my cable provider (Time Warner updated their software) then I noticed that the codes for some of my devices had been deleted and would no longer work. I had since replaced the original Vizio remote and find that the multi device power button does not work. It now seem that the codes for some older devices are longer supported by the cable company. I experienced the loss of functioning device codes on my Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote also shortly after the cable provider software update...strange!

If you are using the remote, check the batteries. If you are using the buttons on front, be sure that you have it set in the right mode. Otherwise call manufacturer.

If holding down the power button for a few seconds doesn't work , you may need to dock the remote on the caller and charge the unit.it may not have a charge on the remote. If you have tried all of that, make sure the metal contacts between the remote and the caller are making contact when charging..if that's not the case then it may be a bad remote.

Hi there. unfortunately that is the case with my radio as well. You are correct when off it is very hard to find the power/source button. Sorry my friend. I do appreciate you bringing that up because to be honest with you, I never really noticed that. One suggestion is maybe using the remote control???I know it is a pain in the butt to find it when u need it but maybe have it velcrod somewhere close? Good luck!Regards,Erick

Old trick, try holding the power button down until the unit shuts itself off and back on, and goes through a whole reset. I had to do someting like this once. Not sure what caused it, but it took about 10 min to figure out something that would make the unit do a hard reset. Just read this on a Panasonic unit with the same problem. 1. turn off unit by holding down the POWER button for 10 seconds. 2. unplug the power cord and wait for one minute. 3. plug the cord back in and turn on the unit 4. when the dvd begins to play, press "EJECT". Worth a try. Kinda sounds like what I did.

No. Once the unit is turn off, it will not turn on with out pushing the power button on the "key pad" or remote. If you unplug it for example, while it's on, when you plug it back in it needs to be physically turned on with the power button.

If hitting the red power button does nothing your unit is broken. or perhaps you have the plug backwards in the strip and that causes issues...

Hit the zone 2 button on the remote and hit the power button. You have to actually turn it on.

I had the "sudden stop" happen a couple of times. I had been using the "power off" button on the remote, thinking that doing this forced a "hard reboot"; it would restart the unit but didn't fix the problem. Now I use the power button on the back of the unit to turn it off after I've finished watching something and turn it back on using the same button; I have not had the "video stop problem" since.

Hello, well, that just happened to me, it was working fine until one day I couldn't turn it on at all. There is one thing the makers of this Soundbar forgot and that is : Manual Controls. Somewhere in the Bar should have the Controls so, in cases like this, the owner could turn the Bar on and manipulate the Volume, Bass and Treble and the other Features. I called Philips and they sent me a new Remote Control but, unfortunately didn't work. In my opinion due to the fact that the Circuitry inside is very Sensitive any Fluctuation in the Electrical Current like a Sudden Blackout, etc. could damage the inner system. I don't remember having in my neighborhood any Blackouts but anything is possible. I notified Philips concerning the outcome of the new Remote Control so they advised me to let Amazon know my situation. Amazon did a good response, something I am very grateful. Thank you. Joe.

No, you have to hit the remote button to turn back on. I tested it by turning something on with the remote and then unplugging this switch then plugging it back in, and it didn't turn back on until I hit the remote.
