Does this soundbar come with its own remote? And is it DTS-compatible?

It does not contain an amplifier. Therefore it has no remote. It is just a set of speakers which must be connected to your amplifier by three sets of copper speaker wires. I use it in combination with separate surround speakers.

No, remote can control the speakers on TV itself. My wireless headphones' volumes stay unchanged. I can set it to a different volumes.

Yes it has it's own remote, and it will plug into any TV speaker output. Don't know if it will sink to your Sony remote? Great sound bar for the price.

No. Can anyone tell me where to get another remote. My doesn't work at all any more. What a pain. It never worked well to begin with. Love the sound bar though.

There is a remote for the soundbar! Had it since September and we love it! Easy set up and Bluetooth ready! Great buy for the price!!!

I am not totally familiar with the Directv remote but my guess is that it probably does not have codes to control Denon soundbars.Eric C.World Wide Stereo

Yes, there is. However, it is of constant full volume nature and cannot be varied with the volume control on the TV remote. This is one major weakness to add to the already known issue of relatively muffled sound from the built in speakers. When connected via toslink or HDMI to a receiver that accepts either of these newer standards, the sound is clean, noise-free and quite superb from DVD sources routed via the TV. However, only the Digital Audio channels seem to allow volume adjust from the remote control. Since the signal is going to a receiver, I expect most people will use the receiver remote and volume control instead. If the receiver is compatible with the component sync features of the TV, then the TV remote will learn and operate the receiver, too. All challenges, and I think, in the end, more product upgrades and so on to achieve peace. There is a Samsung SoundBar but most reviewers are not thrilled with the boomy bass and relatively high cost (list $400). Many others have preferred other soundbar options. I would advise listening first, then choosing something that sounds right to your tastes.

I worked just fine. In fact I prefer it the remote that originally came with the soundbar.

Following up on my earlier answer, I just realized that you might have your sound bar hanging on a wall above the TV, so you really need a remote. My sound bar is sitting on a shelf in front of my TV. Don't rule out St. Anthony!

I looked at the specs of the soundbar and it looks like you can connect it to the TV using RCA jacks as well as bluetooth. If you use RCA, you should be able to control the device using the TV remote or the Universal device set to the TV's code.

For this model, it's up to your separate receiver/amp to process the Dolby and DTS. This model just basically takes place of the 7 surround speakers (it actually has connections for all 7 speakers) in the convenience of one single unit. Other soundbar models you see may have the amp and receiver features included; it depends on your needs and other equipment.

It does. There is a template that will center your soundbar directly under your t.v. And by the way...wait till you hear the sound; crisp and eminently hearable. Mike

No but the soundbar remote works on my Samsung TV. Its slightly annoying to have to keep two remotes

Yes, it will learn any TV, cable or satellite box remote for volume, mute and power. You use the analog or optical audio out into the soundbar. It does not HDMI.

I'm guessing you're asking if it has a remote control and yes it does. Works quite well with the sound bar actually

As long as your TV has one of these, you can control the volume from the one remoteARC (Audio Return Channel) - yesVIERA Link™ (HDAVI Control 5) - yesThe different options etc you will need to use the SoundBar RC as this (as far as I know) isn't supported on the normal Panasonic remote
