SC-HTB500 Question: Will this soundbar pair with a DTV remote?
1652907
I have DIRECTV and a Panasonic Viera G25 paired with this soundbar. Because of the Viera link the speakers can be set to turn on and off when you turn the TV on/off. When I turn the TV on with my DIRECTV remote the soundbar turns on automatically too.

You can connect it directly. It may not be the correct signal strength from the DVD and you probably won't be able to change the volume with a remote but it will work.

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.

My setup is: Raspberry &lt;HDMI&gt; ViewHD ViewHD &lt;HDMI&gt; TV ViewHD &lt;TOSLink/optical&gt; Onkyo TX-SR500 The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1 So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo. No chance to test DTS yet.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

Yes. I can hook up a sound bar and sub woofer via optical, but when I tried to hook up via HDMI it gave me one or the other - not both. I agree the inability to control both the sound bar (mine is a Sony) and TV with one remote is a detractor.

Since this is a learning remote I'd give it a qualified "yes". If the sound bar uses an infrared remote in theory you can use it to "teach" each command to the Sony remote.

Hi Kathleen,I watch over the air HD all the time and my soundbar works fine. I can't think of anything that would make it not work. Possibly a setting on your TV?

If the particular sound bar has HDMI inputs and outputs then yes it should work, but I'm reading the optical connections don't work in that cofiguration

Yes, Google is your friend...... http://www.amazon.com/SB4021M-A1-SB4021M-B1-Soundbar-Remote-Control/dp/B00GK7NLJO

I don't believe so. I was actually having other problems, (the 3 and 8 weren't working), with the remote so I bought an RCA universal from Best Buy for $19 to replace he numerous remotes in my house. With the direct programming method on the remote I was able to get the sound bar remote to mirror itself on the universal. Pretty simple. And if you have the speaker connected through an ARC channel the sound actually works as a "pass through". No matter what device button is pushed on the universal remote, (Sat, DVR, Aud, DVD) the volume button always controls the sound bar and my tv automatically recognizes and sends all sound through the bar.

yes. you use the t.v. remote to tell it how you want to get sound. Through the t.v. or an external source (pioneer soundbar). Love my pioneer.

I wish I could help but unfortunately I can't. I don't have direct tv I use time warner cable as my cable provider. I use one remote for my tv and the boston acoustic remote for the volume on my sound bar.

The remote to base will work over a great distance but the base unit and the device being controlled, the DTV box must be in close proximity because base to DTV is an IR link.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

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!

Pairing would be used with a Bluetooth device according to the owners booklet that came with my soundbar. The RCA cable's did not work for me. I had to purchase a digital optical cable. I have not had any problems and I just love the soundbar.
