Is it true that you must turn the speakers on manually, not by the remote control?

yes. but good news is the turn off automatically after 5 mins. of losing an audio signal.Instructions say to turn on the speakers manually. Then you can control volume, bass, tuning and mute with the remote. Other than that, speaker quality, sound and other functions very good.

Yes. Someone else had posted that you can turn them on by remote, but it's NOT true. It is the most frustrating thing about them.

That's what I've found. Doesn't make sense as there is a power button on the remote? It's not been that big a deal to me since I mounted the speakers in their own little "houses" on my patio and are easily accessible still. The houses look kind of like a bird house without the front. That way I'm not worried about the rain.

Yes, you have to turn on the speakers manually. Remote is only for volume and refresh signal.

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.

You need to take the speakers out of stand by in order to connect to them. You need to use the remote

When you press the receiver button on the remote, it doesn't turn the remote on or off, or actually change anything. It's the button you have to press before you use the numbered buttons on the lower half of the remote to switch between various sound and speaker features. It helps a lot to find the manual online, because it explains things much more thorougly.

can you use the tv speakers without having to turn the receiver on? from what I have read you have to have the receiver on. can anyone confirm or deny this?

I assume you are refering to the "automatic signal sensing" feature, or better called "auto on/off". The answer is yes! It automaticaly turns itself on when when you begin listening to music (signal sensing), then turns itself off if no music is playing (does not sense a signal). It's a great feature. And a great subwoofer!

The soundbar power can be controlled by the TV remote power button. Just follow the instructions with the soundbar that tell how to set it up to learn the power on and off functions of your TV remote. The soundbar itself cannot tell if the TV is on or off, so if your question is concerning the TV being manually powered up without a TV remote and in turn have the soundbar power up, then no, that does not happen.

No. When you turn light off manually, you will need to turn back on manually. The remote unit cuts power off at plug & turns it back on, the light must be manually on for the remote to turn it on & off.

The wall light switch must be on to power the speakers, but the lights can be dimmed or turned off at either the base station or with the remote and the music will still play.

Yes. It has as "hidden" menu that allows for turning on the sound. The distributer explains it in a YouTube video. It works pretty good too!

No. The volume control have no direct control with the output. Oldest player some times like Sony use to have this option. Also the the volume control is only for the headphone output. But does not work by the remote. Manual control. There is a new model also in this category the 5005. I suspect it's far better.
1229773
Yes. There is a setting for either internal or external speakers on the TV itself.

Dear Joseph,Thanks for your inquiry. This speaker package needs to connect to a receiver for the speakers to receive sound. Of course, the receiver would then have a remote control. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I've found sometimes just reboot the whole system since it checks for an active input, I know what you mean though bro! Turn everything off and then power everything on but the speakers play audio and turn it on

Yes. It comes with a remote which is the only way to turn it off. Though you can cause it to sleep by holding the pause/play button on the speaker (not the remote) for three seconds. To turn it on again (without the remote) you simply touch the same button and the whole thing comes to life again.

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.

No, this unit does not turn itself on automatically. The is only one knob that turns the unit on and also controls the volume. It feels sturdy even though small.

It didn't for me, so I just bought a cheap Universal Remote and that did the trick. The speaker will turn on and then off by itself if you use the optical port.
