There's speaker posts for 2 high speakers or you'll want to put it as your center speaker

You hook it up to the right and left channel outputs in the back of the receiver.

It's separate from the TV volume, at least with my Sharp Aquos. I was able to add the soundbar on to my Logitech Harmony 880 remote.

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 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.

First in the settings in your TV turn off the audio You will have to then use the the remote to turn on the sound bar each time...

you can adjust the sound thru your tv remote. go to settings then sound. I know you can have surround, just check the options. Mine i bought the philips sound bar ($98.00) with subwoofer. You can put the tv on mute or have the tv sound on. Works perfectly fine

Absolutely, I do! I have mine wired to a small Monitor sub. Make sure you let the soundbar know that you are connecting a sub, there is a setting for it on the menu.

Hi Bantjh2o, the issue with the input is controlled by your TV and not by the SoundBar. The SoundBar is an Audio Ouput device which doesn't have control over Input selection.

I presume the Direct TV and PS3 boxes are attached to the TV, so all you have to do is connect the sound bar to the TV and then select external speakers when you want to use it. If you need extra HDMI connections then you can buy a multiple (2 in / 1 out for example) HDMI cable to connect the boxes.

If you connect the sound bar to a TV via the included Optical Cable, that will NOT mute the TV's speakers. When connected via Optical Cable you need to lower the speaker volume to zero or press "Mute" on the TV remote, then control the volume thru the Sound Bar's remote...If you want the convenience of controlling ALL TV functions with a single remote, use the Headphone output on the TV to connect to the "Portable" input jack on the Sound Bar, via a double-ended male 3.5mm stereo cable. (Search on Amazon for ASIN: B0002ZPJZO.) Set the TV & Sound Bar volume level to no more than "50" and control the TV volume using only the TV remote thereafter.

All I did was, run the whole 'operation' by utilizing a BlueRigger High Speed HDMI 6.6 ft cable with ethernet which supported the 3D and audio return. I just connected them to the appropriate slots/openings both on the Vizio 3D 65' HDTV and the Sony surround sound product. Other than that, simply nothing! And it is functioning like a dream with robust, quality sound. Hope this helps. OFK.

Hi James, Great question and great answers from these folks. Optical would be the likely way as the guys below mention. If you do not have optical in the TV (unlikely) then digital coax would work or you can go directly from the DVD/cable/satellite box with these audio cable to the soundbar. Contact AV-Express for further assistance.

Hi J., make sure that your TV is set to use the SoundBar and not TV speakers. -Vincent

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

If you connect the bluray to the tv, the sound output from the tv to the sound bar should work.

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.
