My Samsung TV detects SoundBlock, but asks for a passcode. This says it doesn't require passcode. What can I do?

You need to put the device on your Bluetooth network. That might be password protected.

press your tv menu and see if your digital audio input or hdmi audio input is enable, If it isn't enable you would have this problem.

The problem is with the HDMI protection system. Next time turn off both tv and soundbar the turn tv on first then the soundbar. The issue is what they call a handshake problem between tv and soundbar. Good Luck

Dear Tim, You may have found a resolution to this already, but I figured I should mention that upgrading the firmware on the device will enable you to deactivate the sound. If you go to the sony website, download the driver, put it on a freshly formatted flash drive, plug it in, and turn the TV off and on, it should do the update. It took about 5-10 minutes. The version I had was 1.00** and the new version was 1.5**. The update didn't do miracles for me, but it did give an option in the menu to shut off the startup sound, so that's how you can do it.

Different poster here with the same problem. Even with VCS it wouldn't play my bluerays. I needed to download passkey lite which was free and eventually worked for me. I think that if you have your video card hooked up to the HDMI port instead of the other port it has some additional layer of protection or something. Once you install passkey lite whenever you insert a disk it pops up and does some kind of on-the-fly encryption of something. It is a crappy work around but the blue ray people like to make things hard for legitimate users when pirates would just download a version with the security stripped out.

Samsung TVs are limited to output 2 channel via the optical output. It's DRM. You have to bypass the TV with your audio source to receive true surround signals.

Go to Insignia website and do a contact us. Also know that your tv remote will usually control the volume even if your tv says feature not available.

Hi, If you connected via HDMI you supposed to get audio form the tv. If no audio on tv , You need to configure your audio out, If PC right click the speaker or volume icon on the right bottom of the screen then click playback device. If you see the Samsung tv click and make it your default audio out.BUt if you connected by VGA you need an 3.5mm jack(headphone Jack) on both end and connect it at the back of the tv and you're pc too.

Hate to tell you this Jim, but if you look up the manual on line it will tell you it is not programmable. My guess it only works if you have a Panasonic TV. If it works with any other TV you just got lucky. We have a Samsung and we have to use our Samsun remote to control the volume. I was just happy we could get a factory replacement to watch Netflix through it.Hope this helps

You can through the AV or Component or hdmi source...then pick that input to activate/recognize it

Had my TV for 3 years now and it prompts me for the wifi security password a few times per month. Kind of annoying.

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.

Yes there is! Hi, I'm Jeff the marketer of 'exceptional swoofers' and will happily take you through the walk through. Firstly, attach the acd input into the the female head of the acj input. You may need to strip the red wire back so there's enough room to attach the secondary modifier input. Now, eject the valve until the act input is completely clear, being careful not to emmalguate the following aux output and optical head processor wires. You should, if you aren't colour blind, see a small white light on the head of the TV unit, just below the notch handle that asks for a device barrier output/input nodule. Connect the wires together via the female SDH connection and tune the TV as follows: Settings -&gt; sound -&gt; subwoofer connection -&gt; on Then go back to the main menu and click Settings -&gt; internet connectivity control panel startup kit -&gt; yes You should be good to go!

I bought this HWF355 to use with my Samsung 65" 6350 serie smart TV. I can verify that the TV remote will NOT work this soundbar. The soundbar remote will work the TV, but not vice versa. I used a digital audio cable, so the soundbar does power on and off with the TV, but you CANNOT control the soundbar's volume with the TV remote. It took me 40 minutes on the Samsung helpline on a Sunday afternoon to find out that it takes a HWH series soundbar to do that, using an HDMI connection. At least that's what they told me. I'm returning my 355 now, and will try an HWH450 next. (Fingers crossed.) 12/14/14 I bought this HWF355 to use with my Samsung 65" 6350 serie smart TV.

I own a Samsung LED and when I setup this as an "external speaker" from the TV setup, the functionality of volume at TV gets disabled. So I have to use the new remote.
