volume control through tv: Is there any way to control the volume other than through the knob in the front?

Check your TV to see if there is a setting for controlling the audio out. On mine it is under the Audio menu and is called Audio Out. Setting it to Variable does what you want.

Yes you can. If your tv has a 3.5mm headphone/earphone jack. Once you have plugged it in, turn the volume on the tv up to half, and gauge the sound with the volume control on the Altec speakers. Then you can use the tv remote to adjust volume from there.

Yes it does, in the audio playback section of the setup menu (if I remember correctly), under variable or fixed output, select VARIABLE, this will allow you to control the volume from the remote.

You can turn the volume on the tv up and down but the speaker system does not have its own seperate volume control

I haven't been able to, yet anyway. I'm still using two remotes. Cable remote for the TV and the Coby remote to control the volume. The volume button on the TV remote doesn't seem to do much. That being said, I'm sure there's a way to program them but I haven't taken the time to figure it out.

Yes, i'll give you some examples. If it's plugged into a pc. You can have the control knob about halfway so its not too loud. then adjust the computer volume.If it's plugged into your tv, same thing. Just keep the knob at the middle(or wherever suits you) and you can adjust the volume of the tv. Hope that helps.

You are almost certainly stuck with using the volume knob on the amplifier. Audio out from the TV is line-level and not subject to the TV's remote. The TV's headphone output may be subject to the TV's remote, but in some cases, such as my Panasonic TV, the headphone level is controlled from a separate menu item. Overall, you are not going to get a fully integrated experience unless you go with a sound bar that has its own remote control infrared receiver, or a full AV receiver setup which becomes the master source for all signals and has its own remote control.

No, remote can control the speakers on TV itself. My wireless headphones' volumes stay unchanged. I can set it to a different volumes.

I haven't been able to control the volume with my TV controller, you can with a universal controller set up correctly.

On the upper edge of the unit there are two buttons which control the volume---just keep pushing the down button to reduce the volume

Yes. You can control both volume and channel, and even the source ( dvd, antenna, cable) via remote, but NOT the on/off.

The speakers are controlled separately from the TV. The TV volume can be all the way down and the speakers can be as loud as you wish.

The volume can only be controlled by the sound bar remote. I thought this would be a problem but I have my television audio set to auto adjust sound and very rarely need to ever pickup the sound bar remote.

Unfortunately it does not have any volume control whatsoever. The headphones were meant for personal listening. The audio line isn't long enough presumably if your jacking it to your tv, you would have to be standing pretty close if that's the case. The jack is a 3.5mm and most TVs would need a adapter. Hope this answers your question.

I use my Sceptre TV remote to control the Sceptre sound bar volume. The TV remote has separate volume +/- buttone.

It would be controlled through the master output knob. In addition, you can always adjust the volume on your device as well.-Pro Audio Land

Pinnacle lists a few options here: http://www.pinnaclespeakers.com/rc-sl.html Additionally a learning remote would work, or you could just connect the system to your TV's headphone or RCA outputs and continue to use your TV remote to control the volume.
