You can turn the volume on the tv up and down but the speaker system does not have its own seperate volume control

If the TV has a 3.5mm headphone input you can use a " 3.5mm to dual rca audio adapter" and control the volume with the TV

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.

The volume should go to 20+ on the digital readout on the front of the bar. I rarely go above 17, because it is way too loud. At level 3 it should be nearly inaudible. I assume you have turned the TV speakers off. You could have a bad remote (it's a poor remote to begin with). I suggest changing the battery as soon as you get it. If not the remote, you probably have a defective unit.

There is a volume control, if your TV has a mini headphone jack you should be able to connect using it.

There is no button on the remote that will let you switch different speaker sets.

The volume can only be controlled by the sound bar remote. I thought this would be a problem but I have my television audio set to auto adjust sound and very rarely need to ever pickup the sound bar remote.

This device does not control the volume on your TV: you must use your TV's remote or built-in volume controls.

Yes mine is connected via RCA cables and the sound sources are completely independent. The volumn on the Coby is such that I doubt that your TV will even be heard. Insufficient volume was the reason I purchased Coby. Solved problem entirely.

Did you lower the TV volume to the point of almost mute and then u increase the volume on the TV ears? If not, U can call the TV Ears Customer Service, they will guide you through it.

Have you tried turning it up? Press and hold either the forward or reverse buttons for volume.

Unfortunately it does not have any volume control whatsoever. The headphones were meant for personal listening. The audio line isn't long enough presumably if your jacking it to your tv, you would have to be standing pretty close if that's the case. The jack is a 3.5mm and most TVs would need a adapter. Hope this answers your question.

Control of the volume is through the device you link it with...i.e. iPad, etc. The speaker itself has no volume control.

There is a mini jack port (not sure about the tv specifics) and yes he remote is for control of volume and on/off

No there's not. I crank it to 75%, then use the television to contro volume.

I've found no way to adjust the volume on mine other than to use the source device (computer, ipod, iphone, etc).

Yes you can. If your tv has a 3.5mm headphone/earphone jack. Once you have plugged it in, turn the volume on the tv up to half, and gauge the sound with the volume control on the Altec speakers. Then you can use the tv remote to adjust volume from there.
