Can you use a cable universal remote with this soundbar?

I have a RCA universal that I direct key programmed some functions to, however, once I connected the HDMI from the tv ARC to the sound bar ARC the volume control automatically worked without having to change the input source on the remote. I don't know about your specific remote but looks to me if it is a universal it probably would.

In setting the system up, you do have to use the remote supplied with the SBX4250 to set your personal listening preferences (treble and bass), after which the remote supplied by my cable company turns the speakers on when when the cable box and SMART TV are powered on and permits me to adjust the volume without any hitches.

I am not 100% sure, but at the very least, you should be able to manually program the remote to control a sound bar. All you would do is take the remote for the sound bar and use it to have the logitech remote "learn" commands. The Harmony software allows you to do that. However, logitech may have already allowed their remotes to control sound bars in which all you would have to do is tell the software the make and model of your sound bar.

I did a lot of investigation when I purchased this, and learned that ... there is no published code for it. You can use the soundbar remote to control other Sony devices, but there is no way to program a non-Sony remote for it (or to get the soundbar remote to control non-Sony items like TVs).Not my favorite "feature" of this device.

I believe it depends on how you have it set up. You can route the TV sound out into the soundbar, so if your TV remote controls the volume of its audio out then yes. We have ours set to just use the TV as a monitor, and the sound signal comes from our TiVo/Xbox/Blue Ray player, etc., so we use the soundbar remote to control volume. Except the TiVo remote also works, so we usually use that since we usually just watch TiVo.

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.

Yea you would use any remote that came with the cable box or if you have say an Apple TV you use the Apple TV controller this unit is great

Yes. We have a sound bar plus sub woofer connected via optical cable and we leave on the internal speakers as well. Downside: we have to use two separate remotes to control the 2 audio sources. I'm sure there's a way to program everything into one remote, but it isn't a huge issue for us.

Absolutely, I do! I have mine wired to a small Monitor sub. Make sure you let the soundbar know that you are connecting a sub, there is a setting for it on the menu.

We have only used the volume control on the sound bar remote so I do not know if it is possible to integrate it into the TV remote.

I don't have a Vizio soundbar but if there is a optical input in your Vizio it will work for sure as there is only one standard for interfacing optical inputs/outputs.

Yes it has a remote. If your remote can 'learn' then it should be able to control sound bar. Yes it has optical input.

Since this is a learning remote I'd give it a qualified "yes". If the sound bar uses an infrared remote in theory you can use it to "teach" each command to the Sony remote.

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

No, you are limited by the distance of the cable, I have since bought a remote in that is ideal for what you want

Yes you can use a universal remote, but it doesn't help the range - you still need to be about 4 feet away...

Anyone know where I can get a remote for the sound bar. I looked online and they are $80! Is there a universal one? Know where and what brand? Thank u
