I have a Sharp LC60-LE650U TV. Will the TV remote control the volume of the sound bar? Does connecting the sound bar turn off the TV speakers? Sync?

Our TV controls the soundbar and because this bar only has a 3.5 input it bypasses the TV speakers. We have a Samsung.

Sharp tv remote works on sharp sound bar and turns off tv speakers as well.

Yes, your TV remote will control the volume and will turn the unit off when you turn the TV off.

Yes. At least my Samsung TV UN65C8000 remote controls it. Mute and Volume. You will have to disable the TV sound as the sound bar and TV sound is slightly out of sync.

I believe it depends on how you have it set up. You can route the TV sound out into the soundbar, so if your TV remote controls the volume of its audio out then yes. We have ours set to just use the TV as a monitor, and the sound signal comes from our TiVo/Xbox/Blue Ray player, etc., so we use the soundbar remote to control volume. Except the TiVo remote also works, so we usually use that since we usually just watch TiVo.

I'm not very technical and had someone else hook this up for me.I have cable TV. Before I purchased this soundbar, I was using the cable remote to control everything, including volume. The volume and channel change on the TV remote doesn't work when set up this way.After the soundbar was hooked up, the TV remote was still off line for volume and channel changing. I can control the volume by both the cable remote and the small remote that came with the soundbar.Sorry...that's the best I can tell you.

I have an older Logitech Harmony H659 and it does. In your devices list (at least for the H659) you add it as an Amplifier. That said, I find the sound bar doesn't always receive the volume up/down signal from my remote. The remote always worked perfectly when the up/down signal was going through my receiver but half the time the sound bar doesn't receive it or ignores it, even when I'm holding the remote at the exact same angle. It's finicky; it could just be an issue with the H659.

Your sound bar would typically be the auxiliary output for audio so if you use this rca jack to connect to your TV or Comcast Cable box you can only control volume if your headphones or headset have volume control. The remote would not be able to communicate with the head phones so the unless the headphones have a volume control it will always be one set volume. Hope this helps.

This was purchased by me as a second control for our family room. It controls our LG 55" smart TV and the X1 box. It is not capable of controlling my LG sound bar when the sound bar is connected via Optical Cable, but can control volume on the sound bar when it is connected via HDMI cable.

I'm not sure I understand the question Tony. If you're trying to "sync" the soundbar, meaning that you want the sound coming out of the bar to be in sync with the television set you're using, then I can't help you. I hooked my SB16 up to my 55inch TV and I don't notice any issues with the sound coming out of the bar being out of sync with the TV. If you're asking about how to program the SB16 to work with the remote for your TV, you can find the instructions in pairing your existing remote control with your SB16 here: http://www.harmankardon.com/resources/Brands/harmankardon/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/OwnersManual/Owner%27s%20Manual%20-%20SB%2016%20%28English%20EU%29.pdf I hope this helps Tony.

The sound bar is a completely independent speaker system controlled by a seperate remote. When connected to your tv using the supplied optical cord your surround sound will still function normally as wiill the built in tv speakers

The Sonos Soundbar does not have a remote. During setup your Soundbar syncs with your TV remote by just pressing the volume button. You can also control the volume through your iPhone, PC or tablet.

From my experience the use of the TV volume control by the TV remote control unit, it will only turn the speakers on your TV high or low. For the Panasonic speakers used here, you have to use the Panasonic remote control to adjust for the volume of its speaker output or unless your TV remote is a smart one which can be configure to emulate the remote controls of other devices of other brand including Panasonic.

HiI think connected to sound bar. A great little sound bar good sound however the remote control is so small in like a credit card very very easy to lose and cannot be replaced in the UK

Yes it will. I have a Samsung HDTV and it's remote will adjust the volume up or down on the soundbar. There are different ways to hook things up so what works in one configuration may not wort in another. For instance. I have my soundbar connected to the TV via bluetooth. Maybe because of this it is necessary for me to use the remote that came with the soundbar in order to power it on, but after that the regular remote will adjust volume up and down. The remote for the soundbar is also able to adjust the bass for the subwoofer up and down, but you will not be able to make that adjustment using the regular TV remote. Hope I didn't confuse you.

It will control the tv volume, but you will have to adjust the soundbar manually,and as you turn up the volume, you should get the increase in sound that you want.

Not sure about that and I don't want to seem condecending but you do know that the remote has a subwoofer control. Its on either side of the mute button and is labeled SW level, which means sub woofer level, I hooked mine up and had to find it myself, but after that no problem, it will also display on the sound bar the subwoofer level SW - or + 1-6 hope this helps. Oh make sure its hooked up right with the subwoofer hooked to the sound bar in its proper place.

You use the LG soundbar remote. At the bottom of the soundbar remote there is a section for controlling your TV. I'm not sure if it works with all brands though. I use my TV remote to put that volume setting to zero.
