Can I use the TV remote from my Panasonic VIERA TC-P55ST60 to control the volume on the soundbar?

No idea. At least, I never figured it out. The sound bar is about the worst conceived pieces of hardware I have encountered in a while. Avoid it.

I don't believe this is possible. I purchased a Logitech multi control remote and it handles all the devices. I would suggest buying one of those for ~$100 and it'll run all your devices and you can chuck the tiny remote that comes with the soundbar. The Logitech remotes have rechargeable USB connections, so its a piece of cake, never buy batteries again for a remote. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried but I think you can program it like any other device using the code search or direct input.

We regret to inform you that your TV can not control this sound bars volume.

Yes, it will work by inputting product codes in the remote for all the devices in your system. The sound is very good.,

If your TV has a 3.5mm headphone jack, it should work fine. You won't be directly controlling the speakers themselves, but instead the volume of the output jack. You'd probably set the speakers volume to around 50%, and then use the TV remote from there.

I'm not very technical and had someone else hook this up for me.I have cable TV. Before I purchased this soundbar, I was using the cable remote to control everything, including volume. The volume and channel change on the TV remote doesn't work when set up this way.After the soundbar was hooked up, the TV remote was still off line for volume and channel changing. I can control the volume by both the cable remote and the small remote that came with the soundbar.Sorry...that's the best I can tell you.

Yes, as the other responders have said. However, I was not able to do this with my set-up because my tv didn't have the necessary input fiber optic input jack. I ended up plugging into my comcast box instead, and turning the sound completely down on my tv and controlling the sound only thru the sound bar using the sound bar remote.

Apparently not. DirecTV rep could not get the sound bar to recognize the remote for whatever reason. Certainly would like to find a way to connect though as the sound bar is a nice improvement to the sound quality.

Mine came with a remote. If you are connecting this soundbar to a compatible LG tv, your television remote can control the soundbar volume as well.

Probably. You would connect the 'headphones' or 'external speaker' jack on the TV to the 'aux' input on the Panasonic radio. The TV acts the same as an iPod would as a sound source for the Panasonic HC55

Yes. I have a Harmony One which is controlling a Panasonic flat screen, a Polk sounded bar, our cable box,a Panasonic bluray and a TIVo mini. The tv and the sound bar are in the open but the other stuff is in an in loses cabinet and are controlled by the Ir flasher. It all works great. The only issue is positioning the flashers. The directions say use the supplied tape but I have found this didn't work (T least for me). I found that aiming the shiny side of the device works best. Also, you will probably need to experiment a little. Be creative and once you find the proper spot, securely fix the flasher. Yes.

Depends on the directions of the sound bar, not the TV. I have a Polk sound bar but the magic remote is not the correct type, IR vs the other type.

Probably with a Logitech universal remote. I have one but haven't tried it. Had a another vizio sound bar and dropped and broke remote. Ordered another remote on amazon but the sound bar was inoperable cant figure hat one out. The new remote works with the new SB

From my experience the use of the TV volume control by the TV remote control unit, it will only turn the speakers on your TV high or low. For the Panasonic speakers used here, you have to use the Panasonic remote control to adjust for the volume of its speaker output or unless your TV remote is a smart one which can be configure to emulate the remote controls of other devices of other brand including Panasonic.

I am not 100% sure, but at the very least, you should be able to manually program the remote to control a sound bar. All you would do is take the remote for the sound bar and use it to have the logitech remote "learn" commands. The Harmony software allows you to do that. However, logitech may have already allowed their remotes to control sound bars in which all you would have to do is tell the software the make and model of your sound bar.

Actually, we have a newer Panasonic tv (viera), and we can control both models with the same remote control. I think I would try to get another Panasonic remote and give that a try.

Yes, I believe you can. We hooked ours up to a 55" Samsung LED TV using the provided RCA jack which is common on all TV's. However, this sound bar is not configured to work with our universal remote control for adjusting the volume.

Hi.You can adjust Playbar to work with your TV remote control. Use the settings at the Sonos App. It works perfect! And it is greater if you add a optical cable TV-PlayBar
