do you need to power on the soundbar separately when you turn on the tv, or does it turn itself on automatically?

I have it hooked up to my Panasonic tv, and I have to initially power it on separately after turning on tv. When on, you must use the speaker remote to control the volume. The tv remote controls the tv volume. However, if you turn the tv off, the speakers turn off. They don't power off, the just get quiet. You can then turn the tv back on and not have to turn the speakers back on separately. After a while (not really sure how long) the unit will power itself off, and then you will have to turn it back on again when turning the tv on. Hope this helps and wasn't worded confusingly.

I power it on separately. Maybe there is another way to interface them, but haven't discovered it yet. The subwoofer is also separate power, but I guess you could leave it on. I have forgotten to turn it off a couple times with no issues.

You need to turn it on whenever you turn on the TV, and sometimes after a period of inactivity it will go off and you have to re-turn it on. JK

I've got mine hooked up to our Panasonic Viera TV and the sound bar goes on automatically with the TV

I am not 100% sure since its been a while, but I think it does not automatically turn on after power up and return to the channel. you should ask the seller.

It does, however, as everyone else stated, it's pretty crappy. What I did was turn off the speakers and do audio out from the TV to the Soundbar, then used the TV remote to control the volume.

It has both, if your monitor supports the sound bar, there should be a power plug provision on the back of the monitor. If not, the bar comes with an AC adapter as well

Yes, they basically worded it incorrectly in the instruction manual. Enabling this feature will remember the On/Off state of the TV when it loses power. So if you unplug it while it is turned on, it will turn itself back on once you plug it back in. It has nothing to do with the video signal. I tried the tech support people and even they weren't aware of this.

I just have the sound coming from the TV's coaxial to the soundbar. It plays the sound from what is being shown on the TV.

No you can use the TV. Once programmed you're gonna want to turn off the TV speakers and use just the soundbar for sound. You might want to do it under aux though and set the default volume to aux instead of TV because if you do it on TV and just turn the internal TV speakers off you might get a message displayed on the screen every time you operate the volume. This soundbar sounds great too BTW. I've installed 5 of them and every customer loves them. Yes there are better ones out there, but it comes down to what you want to pay. Good luck and hope that helps

Hope you don't think I am being a wiseass, but are the blue lights on your soundbar on? Our first mistake was thinking that the green power light was "on". If the blue lights are not on, that is probably your problem. Next was the source. We use our bar on source 2, (there will be two blue lights on). The directions are poorly written, so we called the tech support number in the instructions. I recommend you do the same. The guy will walk you through syncing the remotes, and any other questions you may have. You will definitely want to sync this to your main remote. Hope this helps.

After I turn on TV I just go 1 up on the volume and it turns on. I don't think there is a setting to turn on automaticaly when tv turns on, but I havn't tried to look either. I love the unit.

It does not turn on automatically. There's a power button on the side that you have to push in to power on the speaker.

the only time mine turns off is when the tv is turned off, the sound bar will auto turn off.

Yes, they must be turned on manually. After that you can use the remote to change the volume individually. For instance, I had the speakers outside on our patio. One speaker I wanted just a little louder than the other. By pointing the remote at the specific speaker you can change the volume. There is no power button on the remote.

Mine is hooked up the easy way. Headphone jacks from the soundbar to the headphone jack on the tv.

I plugged the included "adapter" into the back of my HDTV then plugged in the cables from the equipment to the adapter, and the BlueRay and cable TV work automatically when I turn on the sound bar/sub-woofer.I hope that helps. If you have a manual, it is pretty good. No manual? Google it and I bet you'll find it.

Hasn't done it yet. My husband has it where it turns on automatically when the TV is turned on, so it's on a lot. It's been a week since we've had and no problems yet.

You have to turn off the sound bars subs in order to run your own. Other than an RCA cable from the sound bar to your sub, it's real easy to do. The sound bar instructions are easy to understand and it takes less than a minute to set up.
