I have a xfinity remote I use on an older 2007 t.v. Will I have issues with the sound bar remote and/or volume?

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.

Simply Google iLive 37 inch sound bar and you will be taken to the iLive Web Site: at the middle/bottom of the page, you will find a tab marked downloads where the manual can be downloaded in PDF format. I would suggest getting a universal remote with a "learn" feature to copy the functions of the original remote, especially the clock set and iPod controls. The sound bar itself if okay, but the remote that comes with it is notorious for spazzing out, so prepare in advance for the remote to stop working entirely.

I went on this very same adventure many months ago. I cannot remember which setting on the DTV remote I used but suffice it say you can get it to kind of work, but not with the volume keys on the DTV remote. My current setup will allow me adjust the sound bar volume but only when I switch the remote to av1 mode. Then only the dvd controls directly below the PWR button adjust the volume. The skip ahead button (1:00 from the play button on the remote) causes it to increase volume. The Play button (Middle of DVD controls on the DTV remote.) causes it to turn down the sound bar. This was the only way I could find a way to make it work. Hope this helps some.

I've got the same issue. The remote will not adjust the volume. This remains a problem whether the speakers are hooked to the cable box audio out, or to the TV audio out.

You are almost certainly stuck with using the volume knob on the amplifier. Audio out from the TV is line-level and not subject to the TV's remote. The TV's headphone output may be subject to the TV's remote, but in some cases, such as my Panasonic TV, the headphone level is controlled from a separate menu item. Overall, you are not going to get a fully integrated experience unless you go with a sound bar that has its own remote control infrared receiver, or a full AV receiver setup which becomes the master source for all signals and has its own remote control.

yes. you use the t.v. remote to tell it how you want to get sound. Through the t.v. or an external source (pioneer soundbar). Love my pioneer.

you can adjust the sound thru your tv remote. go to settings then sound. I know you can have surround, just check the options. Mine i bought the philips sound bar ($98.00) with subwoofer. You can put the tv on mute or have the tv sound on. Works perfectly fine

Hi,No, the sound bar volume does not increase and decrease with the TV. An it does have it's own remote.

If you have cable, the Soundbar needs to be hooked up to the server not the TV. Also, each time you turn on the TV and Soundbar you need to raise the volume on the remote. Hope this helps.

If the TV speakers are turned up you hear and echo chamber. Not good. I just us the sound bar, which I like except for the small remote which is not easy to operate. When you turn on the soundbar it comes on at full volume.

I use my Sceptre TV remote to control the Sceptre sound bar volume. The TV remote has separate volume +/- buttone.

It will not turn on with the tv remote. You have to use the Pyle remote to turn it on, play music, and adjust the volume through the sound bar.

I used optical high quality optical cable. I like that when T.V. is turned on sound bar turns on automatically.

I don't believe so. I was actually having other problems, (the 3 and 8 weren't working), with the remote so I bought an RCA universal from Best Buy for $19 to replace he numerous remotes in my house. With the direct programming method on the remote I was able to get the sound bar remote to mirror itself on the universal. Pretty simple. And if you have the speaker connected through an ARC channel the sound actually works as a "pass through". No matter what device button is pushed on the universal remote, (Sat, DVR, Aud, DVD) the volume button always controls the sound bar and my tv automatically recognizes and sends all sound through the bar.

Hi Bob- thanks for posting on here. I followed your instructions with my comcast remote and I am able to get power and volume down on the comcast remote but no volume up (super frustrating). Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance for your help.
