I use the sound bar remote there may be a way to program them but I just use the little sound bar remote

No you will have to get a universal remote. I use the Logitec Harmony. There are tons of different Harmony models that range from $40-$300 but even the cheapest one will control every ir device you own. Also its super simple to setup and highly configurable because you just plug it into your computer. So with that you you don't have to spend all day looking up remote device codes.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. The sound bar has its own remote. You might check with the Vizio website. Wish I could be of more assistance.

Yes, Google is your friend...... New Vizio SB4021M-A1 SB4021M-B1 Soundbar Remote Control - RRMCGA304AWSB

It works fine with my Vizio VSB200 sound bar. May depend on which sound bar.

The sound bar is a completely independent speaker system controlled by a seperate remote. When connected to your tv using the supplied optical cord your surround sound will still function normally as wiill the built in tv speakers

I really don't know. But recently I noticed that remotes from other brands work on my Vizio, so I think it would work. Good luck.

I believe it depends on how you have it set up. You can route the TV sound out into the soundbar, so if your TV remote controls the volume of its audio out then yes. We have ours set to just use the TV as a monitor, and the sound signal comes from our TiVo/Xbox/Blue Ray player, etc., so we use the soundbar remote to control volume. Except the TiVo remote also works, so we usually use that since we usually just watch TiVo.

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!

The soundbar will not turn on when the tv is turned on. Separate remotes are needed to control the sound and the tv

Since this is a learning remote I'd give it a qualified "yes". If the sound bar uses an infrared remote in theory you can use it to "teach" each command to the Sony remote.

If you use the Samsung remote, you can control the sound bar regardless of whether or not you use the HDMI ARC feature. All recent (2011, at least) models of Samsung HDMI TVs have made the remotes compatible with other Samsung Audio/Video products (sound systems, Blu-ray players, etc). When you use a Samsung TV and Samsung soundbar, you can actually go one step further if you TV has the SoundShare feature; if you activate SoundShare you can connect wirelessly to the soundbar. Hope this helps!

Hello Cole... I am not familiar with the "Vizo" sound bar, but if the device is controlled by infrared commands, then the answer is yes. The Harmony database my not have the device on file but you can create buttons on the Harmony remote and learn the IR commands into the programming database.

I have mine connected via hdmi and can use my tv remote to control volume. There is a slight delay between when the tv is turned on and when the sound bar turns on.

Yes, the TV remote can adjust the sound volume, ONLY if the soundbar is operating. The soundbar produces great audio, but this product is not very reliable. Mine worked very well for the first year, now getting sound from it takes a tremendous amount of time & patience and luck. The main issue appears, to me, to be a major conflict in the VieraLink software or hardware. Good Luck!

I would say no. I don't recall any hardware or instructions to do this. My TV is on it's stand and I built a shelf to lift it so the soundbar did not block the remote sensor.

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.

Yes. The soundbar can learn other remotes, and turn on and off with the TV. It can even learn the up & down volume from the TV remote. I was able to configure the 60" Sharp LED LCD TV to send audio through the optical out, so volume is only via the soundbar. And it makes a huge difference. I have it wall mounted under the TV. And since it's shallower than the TV + TV wall mount I was able to install it just above the bottom edge of the TV, so there are no visible cables. This is one of the best electronic purchases I've made recently. I highly recommend it.

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.
