How does this work with a VIZEO TV? How do you adjust the sound if the remote only works with Sony?

Use with a TV that is not Sony brand requires using two remotes, the one operating the TV and the Sony Soundbar remote for volume and muting. I am disappointed about this quirky feature which seems was not addressed when manufactured, but for the money paid, the sound bar continues to work very well as a welcome TV sound upgrade that I am still very satisfied with, and seemed a good value to me when purchased. However, now, about a year plus later of use, there might be better values available. I evaluated a lot of sound bar systems in this price range before settling on this one. I'm glad I have a soundbar system with a separate woofer. It seems to be important in achieving richer sound. Good luck.

I have a Phillips TV. I would guess that it would only work with sony there is no book to allow you to program anything.

I use Harmony remotes and the volume is adjustable with them through Harmony. Otherwise you just have to use the little remote that comes with it. The speaker bar has a 65 watt amplifier built into it.

I bought this HWF355 to use with my Samsung 65" 6350 serie smart TV. I can verify that the TV remote will NOT work this soundbar. The soundbar remote will work the TV, but not vice versa. I used a digital audio cable, so the soundbar does power on and off with the TV, but you CANNOT control the soundbar's volume with the TV remote. It took me 40 minutes on the Samsung helpline on a Sunday afternoon to find out that it takes a HWH series soundbar to do that, using an HDMI connection. At least that's what they told me. I'm returning my 355 now, and will try an HWH450 next. (Fingers crossed.) 12/14/14 I bought this HWF355 to use with my Samsung 65" 6350 serie smart TV.

Cinda, upon reflection, I would purchase a Vizio remote through Amazon. If it doesn't work,odds are it can be returned for a refund. They are good about returns. Good luck. Hansford

so many have this same question here but no answer yet. i sent a mail to vizio support and the response was " This TV was not originally designed with a QWERTY remote therefore we cannot ascertain that it has the appropriate firmware to successfully support a QWERTY remote."

Thanks for the info, but.... The TV speakers work fine with the sound bar when watching any TV reg or HD programs. It is just some HD dvd's or Blu-Ray dvd's that this problem occurs. There is an echo or feedback which sometimes you can turn the TV off and back on again and it disapears or makes it better. Some DVDs still have echo or delay from one speaker to the other. It is a sync problem between the TV speakers and Sound Bar which are both Sony brands. When everything working, tv speakers, sound bar and (2) wireless rear speaker it is awesome in my 16 by 11 room. I just thought there was an option somewhere to sync speakers together if needed. Thanks.Alan Thanks for the info, but....

I dont think the 3D has anything to do with the sound. Audio on this unit is very good. May I suggest that you ask Vizio the tech question.

Hello, this Sony Universal Remote RMVZ320 doesn't have a remote code for your Vizio Sound bar. -Ely

I have not had any issues with my Vizio; are you using a sound system(sound bar or an add on surround sound system?) I use a Polk sound bar with wireless sub and the sound balance has been fine since day one..

Probably with a Logitech universal remote. I have one but haven't tried it. Had a another vizio sound bar and dropped and broke remote. Ordered another remote on amazon but the sound bar was inoperable cant figure hat one out. The new remote works with the new SB

update OK, so I went ahead and plugged the Blackbox into my receiver, Onkyo, using the hdmi and played some music and movies. The Blackbox remote didn't change the sound levels. I set the volume level on my phone towards the higher end and was able to control the sound with my receiver remote, Logitech. I didn't have to crank it up to be heard, and I was able to get the sound levels pretty loud. Hope that helps.

I've got the same issue. The remote will not adjust the volume. This remains a problem whether the speakers are hooked to the cable box audio out, or to the TV audio out.

I have Directv and use the receivers remote to control the volume so I'm not sure about your tv's remote. If your Vizio tv remote is programmable then I assume it would work as well.

I was just going to post the same question, so I'm assuming it doesn't have presets at all. I'm guessing the previous person who said that's probably for a different model system was correct. That's the only button on my remote that does nothing so I know it's not a bad remote. Oh well, still a great system you just have to learn how to adjust bass and treble depending on what you're watching/listening to.

I have a 40" ECO1080P HD tv. I don't know what other Vizio tv will work with the remote. This remote is exactly like the one that came originally so if it is like your original, and it worked then, it should work now. There are other TV's that do work with this remote but I do not have a list of them. This remote also works with my Blue Ray player, my outdoor serviellence cameras, an older VCR/DVD combo player and has connections for other items. One remote does it all. Try it and if it doesn't work, return it. Not expensive for all it does. Sorry that is all I can say about it, except I had my first one for over 5 yrs until it suddenly stop working. Can't complain, I was happy to find one exactly like it. HOpe this helps.

My experience has been that Vizio allows all of the remotes to work across all Vizio models. However, each model has a remote control specific to that model for certain functions.

The remote seems to need a near perfect and unobstructed line of sight to work. It's very temperamental. I have similar problems with the vizio remote also...

I'm assuming you mean a "Vizio" TV. I own a 50" Vizo and it has red and white RCA plug in jacks in the rear which would appear to be compatible with the Onkyo which has red and white RCA output jacks. Keep in mind the sound quality hooking up your unit in this matter would not be great as the Vizo tv does not have great speakers. My Onkyo is hooked up to a Denon receiver and surround sound system.
