when you set the different inputs for your devices it should ask you if you want to set them up via the remote control, or go through settings I believe.

its only compatible to the TV, it does not control any other device, its really more for the functions of the TV such as the internet, hulu, Netflix, crackle, Amazon and ECT. selecting media devises that connected to the tv. but does not control them.

love the sound bar....I just installed it the way they said to do it and I watch netflix all the time.....the great thing about the samsung is it has different settings you can press a button to get at will....cinema, news, drama, etc.my tv is a sony....2 years old.I HAD the yamaha prior....lots of trouble with, and except for looking great was a pain....Costco replaced it with the samsung and I've had it almost a year. Only thing I hate is having to use 2 remotes, but I'm used to it now.Good luck!

I have a 6 series tv and the soundbar remote works for the tv, but not the other way around, so I just use the soundbar remote bc it can change channels and volume (for both soundbar and tv) plus view tv channel info and has a previous channel shortcut button. I really like the soundbar remote because it has a MUCH better range, even using it to change tv channels, then the Samsung TV remote. Oh, my soundbar is hooked up via optical.

No. Can anyone tell me where to get another remote. My doesn't work at all any more. What a pain. It never worked well to begin with. Love the sound bar though.

I have never experienced that problem. Sound bar & tv works perfectly together. I had a problem with the auto on button, every time I turned off sound bar, it would come back on. Didn't figure out why until a few days later, within that time, I just unpluged the unit. Another problem, I'm having is, sound bar isn't working properly with vcr/dvd player. I think my connections are wrong, I'll contact Greek Squad to fix it for me.

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

Yes, the unit is an all-in-one. That means that it is a combination Blu-ray player, digital receiver, FM tuner, etc. You may use another player if like, just route through one of the HDMI ports (there are two on the unit). Important to note that there is no direct cable input. I have a cable box that I run through one of the HDMI ports. Though I have to maintain a separate remote for the cable box, I can control everything else with the Samsung remote. I have had this system for about 3 months now and absolutely love it. Hope this helps!

Audio and video are separate. The signals (audio and video) come out perfect from this device and I love it! I purchased it, because I have an older Harmon Kardon Receiver with no HDMI capabilities. I wanted to have the 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound...from my new Blu-ray player. My new Blu-ray player only had the HDMI connection, so I needed the converter to run the 1080p video to my TV and I used the optical out (on the converter) to get the 5.1 signal to my old receiver. The converter has HDMI out and Optical out. This device is meant to send audio to a device (such as my older receiver) that do not have HDMI input. The Optical out (via fiber optic cable) carries the sound. The HDMI out goes to the TV...for video and the optical goes to the receiver, or audio device. HDMI carries audio and video in one cable, so I am not sure about what you are trying to do. Bottom line...this converter will take your HDMI signal and split the audio and video. The video will go out through the HDMI and into your video display and the audio will come out of the optical connection. If your audio device does NOT have an optical connection, this device will not work for you. You mention 2 channels. Are you trying to send sound to 2 speakers (stereo mode) from your slingbox? If so, I would recommend buying a receiver with HDMI inputs. I am not 100% sure about what you are trying to do, but I am sure I can help you figure out how to fix your problem. I have been dealing with A/V equipment since the late 80's. If you tell me all the audio and video equipment you have, I can probably tell you exactly what you need. It looks like you may be looking at the wrong device, for what you are wanting to do.

To be honest, I'm not sure only because we use the remote with which the sound bar came. Might be a good question to ask LG, or see if there are programming instructions for the remote to connect with the sound bar

I might be able to help, just checked the back of my setup. I'm not certain how many inputs you have to the back of your TV, but I hope you have HDMI inputs. I am also assuming that the 8300HD is your cable/receiver/DVR. First connect this with a HDMI cable to one of the HDMI inputs on your TV. Second, connect the blue ray player with another HDMI cable to another HDMI input on the TV. Use the remote or the controls on the TV menu to designate which HDMI input is the cable or the blue ray device. So now the video/picture inputs to your TV is now complete. For the audio/sound I recommend buying a optical audio cable, hopefully your TV has that option and use that, the audio quality is much better. If not you can use the RCA cables (RED/YELLOW/WHITE) and connect the audio output to vizio sound bar audio input. Again I recommend using the optical audio cable because it is a single plug and not multiple plugs. So now the TV with cable and blue ray inputs are connected for both sight and sound. I also have a CD player connected to my Vizio home theater system. The CD player is connected to the sound bar using the RCA connections to the back of the vizio sound bar. I can play music through the home theater system without powering on the TV, but I hardly ever use the CD player. Again I hope your TV is a newer type with the HDMI inputs, if not the RCA cables will work. For my setup which is identical to your desired setup required 2 HDMI cables, 1 optical audio cable and 1 RCA cable. The HDMI and optical audio cables are more expensive, but the quality is better. Amazon sells both.

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.

To clarify, I called Vizio because I didn't get a premium set of glasses or the two sided remote. I also don't have as many connections on the back of my TV. They told me I had apparently gotten an older model. I could return it and try again, but I don't know if it is worth the hassle. I am curious about the apps. I saw one review that said theirs didn't have YouTube but mine does, also Skype. I don't have Pandora though. I am wondering what else I am missing.

I followed Edgardo's advice below and went to the web site he listed and they have specific remotes for all the LG tv models so I ordered one from them. It was a lot more expensive but it sounds like the real deal. It is ridiculous that the LG owner's manual does not have a parts list. Will post again whether it works or not with my model tv. Thanks Edgardo!

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

I don't have a sound bar in front of the unit, but I can guess this would cause problems with the remote. The model I have has a very specific spot you need to point the remote. If I don't have the remote aimed correctly then the tv doesn't respond. The sensor seems to be on the lower left of the screen so you might be okay but if the sound bar blocks line of sight to this location from any spot in the room I would guess that this would definitely cause a problem. Caveat: The sensitivity of the remote seems abnormal so I might have a bad/weak sensor in the TV I got. Your results may very, good luck.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

It work's as surround sound but also work's great for sound quality. Also depends on the hook-up's you have. It take's the lock clip lock's to attach the sound into your system unless you have a Blue-Ray player then you can hook it up through your ordeal that way and it does work. But must have the proper hook up's and the remote is a nice touch as well to adjust and use it with ease to control volume level's at the rate you would like. :) Hope all find this helpful. If you know how to attach the plugin's that you can adjust the attachment's from radio shack or any electronic store. Then you can use it for any kind of system. :) It work's as surround sound but also work's great for sound quality. Also depends on the hook-up's you have.
