I have one anb so far it works great. Could it be a setting in you TV that's making it do that. I have my TV set at a fixed out put. Hope that helps.

I dont seem to be having that problem. Make sure you are using an optical cable or HDMI w/A.R., not RCA plugs. Or, if your TV has the ability, shut off the internal speakers.

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

I don'y know as this is the problem I have had and no answer yet as I have not been able to link it with my Panasonic sound bar. When (and if) I do I will post the fix.

No power is different from not having sound. If no power up, contact tech support. If no sound, then consider the following: When using the adapter, it can be difficult difficult to link TV and soundbar when turning on and off. My best solution is power down the TV only and leave the power bar power-up at all times. Either the power unit or the adapter is challanged by cycles of on and off

The tv volume is still active until you turn on the soundbar. We usually only use the soundbar when we watch movies.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

Be sure that you are connecting the tv and the soundbar (on the "out" input) with the kind of hdmi cable that also carries ethernet. I wasn't at first and I did get sound but it wasn't right.

If it cuts on and out that means that there is something in the way between the speaker and the device

I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions. The sound bar works fine with it. When the TV or the (Samsung) DVD player is turned on, the sound bar turns on. The sound bar has to be set to HDMI with the remote, it doesn't set itself. It comes with one HDMI cable and one optical cable. When I turn off the TV, the sound bar and the DVD player automatically turn themselves off.I have one HDMI cable from the DVD player to the sound bar, and a second HDMI cable from the sound bar to the TV. I run the optical cable from the TV to the sound bar for regular TV. The sound is not audiophile quality, but it's perfectly acceptable for our family use. I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions.

This soundbar has problems decoding Dolby digital plus which causes audio to cut out. Check out Yamaha yht series.

It didn't finish posting your concern. So I am going to assume you hooked the sound bar, directly into the DVDO ? I can tell you that once I did all my hook-ups per the DVDO instructions, I lost my On Screen Display capabilities from my Denon receiver. And it wasn't until I ran a separate connection to my TV - to an unused input, that I was able to regain that function again.

This is only a problem if you are using the TV's internal receiver. Most people use an external device, such as a cable box, DVD player, or AV receiver - then output the signal to the TV. If you do this, you can send the audio output from the external device directly to your soundbar.

Yeah, the optical input connection is really weak at the soundbar. Sound cuts out intermittently. I ended up using the analog connection (the difference is negligible with these cheapo soundbars).

Ours kept doing that also. We had it for about 3 years and finally last year it started to the same thing. I took it in to an authorized Panasonic dealer to see if I could get it repaired and I was told that the part that was needed to repair it was no longer available. I hope you have better luck than I did. We no longer have a sound bar for our T.V.

yea sound is ghosting, just unpair one of the devices. both devices are giving the same sound out.

There are settings that can diminish the subwoofer effect but turn it off completely,no.The subwoofer has a subtle effect to begin with,don't let that be a sticking point preventing you from purchasing an excellent soundbar.
