Has anyone figured out how to turn off the speakers? I'm using a sound bar and only want to hear sound from the sound bar and not the TV speakers.

The TV's speakers can not be disabled. We recommend you simply reduce the volume to 0.

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.

Do you hear static only and no sound from the tv? or a combination when watching a tv show. Some TV's the sound has to be turned off and listen only thru the sound bar or you may hear an echo. Make sure your red /white cables are not damaged. I have no problems with my sound bar of this kind.

I have never experienced that problem. Sound bar & tv works perfectly together. I had a problem with the auto on button, every time I turned off sound bar, it would come back on. Didn't figure out why until a few days later, within that time, I just unpluged the unit. Another problem, I'm having is, sound bar isn't working properly with vcr/dvd player. I think my connections are wrong, I'll contact Greek Squad to fix it for me.

The best option is to connect all to the TV (sound bar and DVD player). Turn volume down on TV and sound bar works great. You can try it the way you're asking but I'm not sure if it will work.

Hello Jewl. This sound bar is powered through an ac connection and is optically connected to the TV (in my case). There are some wireless remote speakers out there that can be used in conjunction with sound bars. I hope this helps a little. Regards, Tom

You can turn the sound bar off individually, but you would have to turn the speakers back on for the TV (either raise the volume or turn the speaker setting back to on for the TV).

Real quick go in the headphones menu if you see tv + hp turned on turn it off. The surround sound will not work if it's turned on

Is the buzz only through the TV's speakers or is it heard no matter what? I have a soundbar and will shut the TV's speakers off. Im really interested in this TV.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio.I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

If you connect the sound bar to a TV via the included Optical Cable, that will NOT mute the TV's speakers. When connected via Optical Cable you need to lower the speaker volume to zero or press "Mute" on the TV remote, then control the volume thru the Sound Bar's remote...If you want the convenience of controlling ALL TV functions with a single remote, use the Headphone output on the TV to connect to the "Portable" input jack on the Sound Bar, via a double-ended male 3.5mm stereo cable. (Search on Amazon for ASIN: B0002ZPJZO.) Set the TV & Sound Bar volume level to no more than "50" and control the TV volume using only the TV remote thereafter.

My center Bose speaker is just hooked up to my surround sound amplifier. I have the built-in TV speakers turned off. Also, I find many programs easier to understand with the center volume turned up a bit.

Yep, I did. Hook an optical sound cable from the TV to your receiver and switch TV sound to external speakers. Mine sounds awesome in surround sound. This will turn your TV speakers off however. Cheers, Gary

There is a volume control on the headset turn that up. You are not suppose to hear the tv when you have them on.

No, I haven't quite figured out how to do that. I can switch from the sound bar speakers to to the TV speakers but I don't know how to have them both on at the same time.
