what code is needed to pair this soundbar with DirecTV remote
160482
Mine just automatically paired. It may have paired with my samsung tv automatically and therefore turns on whenever the tv turns on. It worked the first time so i never questioned it.

I know for me the DirectTv remote is RF and I think this is IR or Blutooth. Perhaps that is the issue?

Apparently not. DirecTV rep could not get the sound bar to recognize the remote for whatever reason. Certainly would like to find a way to connect though as the sound bar is a nice improvement to the sound quality.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good.Regards,Greg

I know you've found your answer, but my code was one of the ones for RCA (10047 on my cable box/dvr remote). I plan on getting a harmony remote up and running. Does that have a dedicated code for it/work well in your hands?

First, if your direct tv remote uses blue tooth for its control, as does my roku, you will not be able to pair to the mx350. Second, look for a compatible code and follow the instructions in the mx350 user manual. Third, no compatible code? Then manually pair function by function your direct tv remote to a listed device on the mx350. That process is in the user manual. I paired 7 of 8 devices using compatible urc codes and function by function pairing. Worst case? 8th device that should have worked using one of the two methods failed to pair at all.

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.

I have direct tv. But my son had to use audio box code. The fourth one down. Hope this helps. Merry Xmas.

I'm not sure I understand the question Tony. If you're trying to "sync" the soundbar, meaning that you want the sound coming out of the bar to be in sync with the television set you're using, then I can't help you. I hooked my SB16 up to my 55inch TV and I don't notice any issues with the sound coming out of the bar being out of sync with the TV. If you're asking about how to program the SB16 to work with the remote for your TV, you can find the instructions in pairing your existing remote control with your SB16 here: http://www.harmankardon.com/resources/Brands/harmankardon/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/OwnersManual/Owner%27s%20Manual%20-%20SB%2016%20%28English%20EU%29.pdf I hope this helps Tony.

I checked out the support site: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-remote.pl?mdl=RMVLZ620 and did not see sound bars on the list of supported devices.

I have the TCL 32" L32HDF11TA model. On DirecTV I used RCA code "11547" and now it works to turn ON/OFF and control volume with the DirecTV remote.

Use a digital optical cable from the sound bar to the tv. The second type of cable shown in the instructions is for a dvd player.

I found out there's a menu on the sound bar with the remote to program the feed between the sound bar and the television, like if you use the fiber optic cord or hdmi cord, hope that helps.

Unfortunately, you can't.... I even called DirecTV to find out if I could program their remote to handle this sound bar and they told me "No". Thus, I ended up buying a Universal WR7 remote which I programmed to handle my DirecTV DVR, HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and the sound bar as well. The WR7 is currently working great for me in this capacity. Hope this helps!!!

I don't believe so. I was actually having other problems, (the 3 and 8 weren't working), with the remote so I bought an RCA universal from Best Buy for $19 to replace he numerous remotes in my house. With the direct programming method on the remote I was able to get the sound bar remote to mirror itself on the universal. Pretty simple. And if you have the speaker connected through an ARC channel the sound actually works as a "pass through". No matter what device button is pushed on the universal remote, (Sat, DVR, Aud, DVD) the volume button always controls the sound bar and my tv automatically recognizes and sends all sound through the bar.
