Will the soundbar work using the directv remote?

Yes it will,the direct tv installer programed it for me on my genie remote.

Yes. If you follow the steps as written by the reviewer above. It worked perfectly for us and we have DirecTV and Sony TV.

Dear Jean-Pierre, I would doubt that the Directv Genie remote will work a Denon soundbar but I could be wrong. You may need to go with a better universal remote. Eric C. World Wide Stereo

As long as your TVS has and optical input, the soundbar will respond to any device which is hooked up to TV. The optical cord is connected to from the TV to the soundbar. I hope this helps.

I don't know. The controls are fairly simple when connecting speakers to a media source. If the Vizio soundbar will "act" like a source, it's possible the Sykik system could pair up that way.

This won't work. There is only one hdmi on the sound bar. Its actually a dumb design on Philips part. You also have the option of rca from the tv to the sound bar.

Yes, there is an optical input so you can directly connect the Directv box with the receiver to get audio. If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC), the HDMI cable connecting this surround sound system and the TV could also be used to hear the DirecTV audio. Also, if you have a Samsung smart TV, you can use the Anyconnect to hear your DirecTV audio. Hope this helps.

You may have a defective unit.. Mine works at 12 feet away just fine and also I programmed the soundbar to my directv remote.. I don't even use the soundbar remote anymore. Hope that helps

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.

As Rick stated it will work just fine using the HDMI in and Out ports. Connect your TiVo to the HDMI - In on soundbar and then connect your soundbar to the TV using the HDMI - Out on the soundbar and the free HDMI port on your TV. You need to realize that this will mean that you have to have the soundbar turned on in order to watch TiVo content. If the soundbar is turned off it will not allow the datastream to pass through the device. Also you will have to specify source on the soundbar as HDMI, default is ARC (I believe). It also takes about 3 or so seconds for the soundbar to fully initialize therefore you must make sure to give it enough time before deciding it's not working.

The TV remote codes are actually built into your direct TV receivers box. This is a newer remote so it should work fine.

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.

I don't see why not as long as your tv has audio outputs either optical or standard red/white...I use the optical on my Sony lcd and it sounds great... also this soundbar unlike most your can set in front of tv on a stand and its low enough not to block tv screen...1 negative is the very small remote is cheap so I bought a programmable Logitech remote to work it...the sa cable box remote couldn't be programmed to work it

I can't say for sure but the speaker is able to learn remotes with a little programming. Just follow the instructions. I got my Directv remote to work. It's a really awesome speaker.

Depends on the directions of the sound bar, not the TV. I have a Polk sound bar but the magic remote is not the correct type, IR vs the other type.

yes. you use the t.v. remote to tell it how you want to get sound. Through the t.v. or an external source (pioneer soundbar). Love my pioneer.

I don't actually own this product, but looking at the spec's it has an HDMI out and an optical in. This means that the HDMI connection will probably only work outputting the video signal to your TV from the soundbar's smart apps. Looking elsewhere and reading some of the reviews this sounds to be the case, although the other reply seems to indicate they tested with only HDMI and it worked for them, so take my answer with a grain of salt.

If you connect the bluray to the tv, the sound output from the tv to the sound bar should work.
