Can the soundbar be set up so that it automatically turns on/off when the LG TV (with Sound Sync) is turned on/off using the TV remote?

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.

I used a Harmony universal remote to hook everything together and it works great with my sound bar, LG SmartTV, DVD/VCR player and Amazon Prime Player, so I have just have the Harmony and Amazon Fire TV remotes and threw in a drawer eveything else.

Sorry for the delay, you'd have to check your TV User Guide to be sure... but I do believe the Smart TV's offer wireless control to the sound bar; thus, provide access to sound control without any hassle. I do not have a Smart TV, so I had to use a Harmony remote...

No. It needs an "optical" cable. This is a good thing as an optical cable is superior to regular ones (they say). One came in the box. The bad thing is that whatever you are hooking it up to has to have an optical cable receptacle, which is common for newer TVs etc. For better compatibility I now advise getting an LG sound bar with an LG TV--Samsung with Samsung, etc. I have the LG sound bar with a Samsung TV and not all of the buttons on the LG remote work. Everything important works: on/off, mute, 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

Yes. You set the function with the remote, although it can probably be done on the unit itself as well. I love this thing. Bought one for our cabin, and liked it so much we bought a second for a TV at home. For the ease of setup, relative economy, and small footprint, I think it's a good choice.

I do not know. I turn my sound bar off when I am done using it then turn it back on when I use it. I suggest you contact vizio.

No, it does not. We simply use two remotes to shut down our entertainment system. One for Sound Bar only, the other for the television. It's a very minor inconvenience to us.

I believe if you have SIMPLINK on your TV and ARC, you can connect the bar through HDMI and use the TV's remote to control the soundbar, however, on the soundbar's remote there are buttons to control basic operation of the TV: POWER, INPUT, VOLUME+/- and CHANNEL +/- so for everyday operation you could just use the soundbar's remote, and switch to the TV's remote when you need to change TV settings.

I had that problem and it was because my tv volume was too low when I set it up. If you turn up your tv volume before you disable the tv speakers it should work. If the soundbar is ringing during silences your tv volume is too loud.

You should be able to. I think it work for everything that would normally have its own remote control. If the sound bar has a remote that comes with it, I think the Logitech will work with it.

Yes the sound bar can be turned off and just the TV speakers. You can also use the sound bar while the TV is off. I use mine with my phone for listening to Pandora via Bluetooth.

The back of my sound bar has an "Opt In" for the optical cable, a LAN port (although it connects to Wi-Fi), and an HDMI out to run the same apps which come with the LG TV. We use the Optical cable through the Opt In port. The volume is controlled by the remote that came with the sound bar. We don't use the HDMI port out, there is no "In HDMI" port on the bar. I hope this helps, good luck!

This remote is only for certain LG tv's, it is not a universal remote. If you have your speakers set up a certain way were the TV volume controls the speakers, then yes. If not, then no. Either way, it will not control the speakers directly or independently.

#1no.#2yes you can use tv remote to control volume after setting sound bar volume to approx 30.#3 use sound bar remote only tv does not have to be on

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 don't need one. If your receiver has an Audio Out - you can run a RCA (red/white) to 3.5mm cord from your receiver's audio out to the input on the back of the LG soundbar and it will play whatever the receiver is playing. The soundbar does NOT have an audio out so you cannot hook it up the reverse way.
