When we pause the video on Dish Network, the soundbar takes about 30 seconds to fire back up when we hit play. Is there a setting that will fix that?

The sound bar goes into standby mode when it doesn't receive a signal, which is a default energy saving feature. I'd recommend you contact Polk Audio Customer Service (1-800-377-7655) to confirm.

I have same issue but only when paused for some time--at least 2-3 minutes. The soundbar goes into standby mode when it doesn't receive a signal. Default energy saving feature and I don't know any way to change. I usually skip back once or twice and soundbar will reconnect by the time I'm at the point where paused.

Yes, when you change channels you will hear a slight sound and that is the unit moving to the satellite that the new channel is on. I am VERY pleased with this dome unit. To set it up when you arrive, you turn on your receiver and push a button on the Dish remote and within 5 minutes it automatically connects. The reason I bought this unit was Dish would no longer support my receiver (mid 1990's) and my antenna was made in 2003. I went to the Dish 211K and it would not support my old antenna. I found the best price on this unit at the time on Amazon. It was shipped from King Dome to me overnight FedEx. Buy this unit you will not regret it.

Almost instant, I have a 42 inch Vizio and have the same problem with it. Also, the Vizio is very slow starting up; the Sharp start up is a little better. I am not bothered by the slow remote response because I have cable and feed is almost instant on both with cable box.

The only way I could get my system to work was to use the optic cable. At the present time, I turn on my TV first, then my sound bar. I do have to use a desperate remote. Still working thru that issue. Otherwise, I love the sound bar. It is no true surround sound, but close enough for me at the price point.I as never able to get the system to work thru HDMI or ARC, no matter what I did, even got online. Good luck. The optic works once you hit the function key on the remote. I found out by accident, just before I was getting ready to return. Glad I didn't!!!!

No. The biggest, but no only issue is when you press the CH (channel) control it changes the input source. You suddenly get channel not available, press input and your no long on the Dish Sat TV setting. Change it back, try again, it always does it. Guide button doesn't work. Try to change channel by entering the channel number, doesn't work and that's odd. I had high hopes but was very disappointed. I've never found one that does everything its suppose to.

I have Dish and have never seen anything like that. Are you sure you have your settings right?

I had this problem also. I fixed it by changing the audio output setting on my bluray player to stream the audio as unprocessed.

I never encounter a delay with the sound and I hook up direct to the tv.Sorry I can help more but u could check youtube.

I have had the same frustrating experience, although I've not experimented with the same array of equipment as bwalter. Quite simply, I have a Pioneer Blu-Ray and (52") Plasma. And whether it's a Blu-Ray playing or a DVD being upscaled or a Region 1 or 2 disk, there's sometimes a video lag, but only sometimes! What I gather is that the plasma screen takes a little time to process its data, but it can be INCONSISTENT: It will sometimes shift within the same disk, which is why I've hesitated to buy an outboard audio delay controller. As bwalter asks, why is this problem not being seriously addressed, when clearly across the net there are many people posting complaints of this nature?

That does sound like an issue. How do you have this thing hooked up. Hdmi? Also, there are some features about level control. I will let you know that it does NOT sound normal. I listen to my dish network anwhere between level 35 to 45. My Hd dvd player, and Ps3 Blu ray player usually sound powerful at level 45-60. If my system was at 70, the roof would be blown off my house most likely. Check your speaker connections. Are all connections secure? I need more information. ***Actually second thought, if you are NOT set up by HDMI or Optical cable. And you are using RCA red and white audio cables. Maybe that is normal.. But it does does not sound right.

I would agree with the other responses regarding the settings on your DVD or Bluray player and your connections. I have DISH attached to my Panasonic, but haven't seen your issue. Also, the issue could be related to a setting on the Panasonic and have found the settings used during the review by CNET for this set to be worthwhile.

I didn't see the question but I'll assume it's the delay singers normally accept the delay in a lot of systemsbut some ways of hooking it up are better than others you make it a better picture from HDMI but you'll probably get closer sound from start to finishby using the standard video

I haven't tried it but I would think it would cause enough lag to be noticeable. There is a clear delay between sound if we have the TV on in two rooms and don't mute one of them - it is not much but enough to echo. I would think the image is as delayed so it could cause noticeable lag on a video game. Perhaps someone who has tried it can confirm if it is an issue. From experience, the less walls or other obstacles in the way of the receiver/transmitter, probably the less lag you would encounter. My transmitter is in an equipment cabinet and the receiver is a couple of walls away from that.

I have connected my Dish Network box to my HD TV w/ this length with no picture or sound drop. I do not use the internet or download to it but I still think with the cable boost is fine.

I ha the same problem. I hook my karaoke into my TV using an hdmi cable. If you have an external audio system, which I do, it will cause a delay. You can alleviate this by using an additional analog cable (looks like head phone jacks) and hook it into your audio system from your karaoke machine. It works great for me that way.

I've never had that problem. Check the options or set up in your player and see if you can modify how many seconds it will rewind.

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
