Do both input methods allow the volume to be controlled using the TV remote? (not cable or sat) I have a Vizio TV.

I have Directv and use the receivers remote to control the volume so I'm not sure about your tv's remote. If your Vizio tv remote is programmable then I assume it would work as well.

That I don't know, I use the remote it comes with the speaker. I however would think both your items would be compatible.

You have to use the HDMI Arc with the sound bar on D.in, the tv remote will control the sound bar volume, the cable remote seems to control the volume as well. I had to call Samsung support to figure all this out, the directions are terrible.

you have to look at the options for the programming of the remote. you should be able to tell from the choices that they give when in the programming mode. Vizio is one of the choices. This remote control controls my Samsung sound bar, however it won't turn it on or off, but it does raise and lower the sound level.

No the remote does not controle volume neather does this device it is strictly a speaker slecter. You can play sounds from two different sources to seven different speaker sets or you can play seven different sources to two different speaker sets.

you betcha! you can also program with current remote for TV. Provided remote has controls for bar volume and also one for sub woofer volume. Adjust bar/TV and sub volumes from one or two points. Bar is programmable. Only issue I have iwth bar remote - it is the size of a key fob (sp) so easy to lose track of if you do not program all to your TV remote. :)

The remote on my speakers does control the volume. The speakers work very well and seem to be durable.

If your Samsung TV is new, it most likely has ARC support on one of the HDMI inputs. Connected via HDMI ARC (with the TV internal speakers turned off) you should be able to control the volume with your TV remote. My TV (a Vizio) has ARC support and I initially connected the sound bar via HDMI ARC (cable goes from HDMI OUT on soundbar to HDMI ARC IN on TV) and the TV remote controlled the volume in this case. I have since switched to optical connection as I like the interconnectivity options and the way everything functions with my universal remote better with the sound bar connected this way. There is no guarantee it will work even if your TV does have ARC support as implementations from different manufacturers may vary slightly.

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.

Only if you want to. I watch TV with the volume on the TV turned all the way down. At any point, with the TV remote, you can raise or lower the TV's volume. The headphones have their own volume controls. That's one of the things that makes them so awesome! :))

Yes, It has its own volume control on the back of the unit. It is hooked into our Vizo Sound Bar, so I set the controlson the back of the Subwoofer on meduim and then control the overall sound volume thru the Vizio Soundbar Remote.works great!!

volume will not be louder but sound quality? Hell yes. Use the Vizio speakers and the HT12B together if you can. Some hookup methods will allow tv remote to mute both speaker sets, others will mute only tv speakers as mine does. I use minor volume on the HTB with maximum bass. This way I get better directional sound and a much fuller bass, but when muting a tv ad the volume is minimal. Cheers

Yes to volume control the little pod seen in this photo controls system volume not just the subwoofer. And I don't see why you could not power with your TV assuming it has appropriate output.

If you are running your external speakers through a receiver, all you need to do is turn the volume all the way down to zero on your tv remote (do not mute). Then control your volume with the receiver's remote.

I haven't been able to control the volume with my TV controller, you can with a universal controller set up correctly.

It is basic on your cable company's remote, Comcast/xnfinity standard to reg HD box remotes can't but there X one boxes can control volume up,down, power and mute. You can buy a logic remote and that will control everything.

The tv volume won't flow through to the speakers. However, if you always want your speakers at the same volume, I suppose you wouldn't need the volume remote. I like to adjust volume from tv to movies to music, but that's just me.

I turn my the sound for my tv all the way down. I use only the remote for the Vizio soundbar to control sound. Two separate sound sources. The Vizio is wonderful. Once you plug it into the optical input on tv, all sound--Xbox, Blu-ready, etc.,- comes through the soundbar.
