Can the unit be used with the Direct TV remote.. does it have learning functions.. auto shut off/on?

I believe it can but please know that I do not have Direct TV, this question would certainly be best asked of Direct TV, they will certainly know this unit, it's a wonderful product, well worth the money. I have Xfinity and Samsung TV and I must use the separate remote because although a very new model, the TV will not support this device. Although not quite the presence of a system with 6 or 7 channels, when you consider the very small space it takes up and the sound quality, a good purchase, sorry I couldn't give you a little more help than that!

You can use to teach function to program the remote to do almost anything as long as you have the original remote. If you do this and the buttons are not on the remote, you'll have to select which other buttons you want a program for that particular function.

For us, no. It ended up not working for our TV/Bluray setup. It would shut off the TV randomly even for my husband who had a 24 hour allowance!! I wanted to return it but the return time had expired.

Yes it does. It turns off automatically when signal is off 30 sec delay. One must turn it on manually with remote or push button on top of the unit

I can't say for sure but the speaker is able to learn remotes with a little programming. Just follow the instructions. I got my Directv remote to work. It's a really awesome speaker.

Yes. You set the function with the remote, although it can probably be done on the unit itself as well. I love this thing. Bought one for our cabin, and liked it so much we bought a second for a TV at home. For the ease of setup, relative economy, and small footprint, I think it's a good choice.

Yes, the buttons on the back side of the remote are teachable from your existing remote. I did have trouble getting some of the functions to teach, but was successful after several tries with the exception of the power button, which I was unable to get to function.

I am not a high tech person. Not sure what you mean by that function. But if it remembering where you are if you stop watching the dvd to return later, then I don't think so. But I just hit the "pause/step" button, turn off the tv. I leave the dvd player on, though. When I want to watch the rest of the dvd I just turn on the tv (channel 3, and then go to the dvd setting, if I moved it out of that to watch the regular tv) and hit play. It starts up. I even think if I turn off the dvd player, it still starts where I stopped it (not completely sure). Linda

I have no idea. All I do know is that it is frustrating not have an on/off button on the remote. I am going to check into a universal remote to see if it is compatible with the system.

YES!!!(but i cant get it to turn on or off our DIRECTV box) i was able to program the tv fine and it turns on and off the tv but i programmed ALL the code twice and after that i was getting annoyed that the box wouldnt turn on or off,so i tried the next step to program the channels and IT WORKED! (one of the code i entered worked, i dont know which one!?) I hope that helps!

Once programmed with other device codes such as DVD unit, it successfully turns the unit on and off (after pushing the DVD button). Unable to use it with a very old stereo amplifier since none of product codes work and I would expect the coding is for more modern equipment. The codes can be found on line at Vizio by looking for your TV/remote users manual.

Yes there is a small IR sensor on the underside which lets it learn remote functions from other remotes. You can also use that to program 1 function key to do something on some other equipment you don't want to learn the whole function for. Example I have My HTPC controled by the cable box. My Blue Ray on the DVD button and of course the TV under the TV button. But also when in any mode one button is set to turn on the sound bar.

Yes it can.i have my directv hr34 genie receiver loaded on this remote all commands work fine. And it can be taught commands manually if you prefer.

Yes. You do it with the LEARN button. If you get jammed up, call the 800 number on the instructions. They are awesome, and will help you sync the volume with your remote. The directions are not very clear, but syncing the remote to turn on and off is pretty easy.

The remote has 4 buttons across the top. One selects operating the Satellite receiver. The next one you push to turn your TV on and off and volume . . at least that is what I get out of it. Then you have a DVD button. The fourth one is for whatever . . auxiliary. I'm guessing you could get that to operate something else. I've purchased several of these, and each has worked fine.

Hi Jacqueline, I believe that this might depend on your device brand and model. But you can teach functions from your device remote. Hope it helps.

Yes it will switch automatically to the active HDMI output (there is no remote control, just a button). If you only have one HDMI on your TV and are watching something on one HDMI source and another connected HDMI unit comes on it will select that unit. Works good as long as the other connected unit isn't a DVR that is set to record a program while you're watching a DVD from another connected unit.
