Ok, guys I'm old and new to this stuff, so be pateint... How does a sound bar work. Is it hooked to the TV and instead of the sound coming from the TV it comes out of the sound bar and I'm assuming the sound is much better. Can you contol the sound volume with a Directv remote or the TV remote. Thanks in advance... Mike

You would have to look through DISH Remote Control programming guide and find the appropriate code for controlling a Vizio device Andy, I'm sure there is one or you could even google it to help find it quicker.

I was able to program the Vizio VSB200 soundbar with my DISH remote (20.0 IR) by using code 833. I am able to control everything except for the TVOL and TSHD settings.

Sorry, I don't have dish. I assume that it can record from dish, but I don't know. We use it to record TV from rabbit ears. In Milwaukee we have lots of over-the-air stations and we use the Magnavox to record and if we want to keep something, we dub to DVD. My wife is 80 and uses the Magnavox every day to record her favorite shows and watch when she has the time. There is a back log of 50 or 60 shows on the disk. Some are full length operas. Bill Smith

I bought one to use with DishTV. It was not compatible, even though I was told it would work. It is well constructed, but I would not buy it again because it won't work with the newer systems.

I had no trouble using it with my Samsung TV. Actually, the remotes worked without have to enter any code, etc. I don't have a dish so I can't help you there. Sorry.

I have direct tv. I have it connected from the dish box to the receiver to the tv. I turn on the direct box and tv , pause then turn the receiver. after that no problems. I always have to turn on the receiver or it will not pass through without doing that . after I turn on the receiver and everything is running I can turn off the receiver and it will pass through so I am listening to just the tv. I hope you understand what I just wrote.....

I'll try to answer, the connection goes into Optical Digital Audio Out (amplifier needed with this RCA Ant) I'm not sure where your Dish connects to. I know I have to change on my remote menu Cable to TV Antenna selection. Not sure if I helped at all.

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 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.

Just got off the phone with Vizio Support after I connected my New Vizio VBR135 3D Smart Blu-ray Player with Wireless Internet Application to my New Vizio 60" HDTV and my New Vizio Sound Bar and the sound works fine with the Player but there is no picture and GUESS what? Vizio does not produce any more DVD/Blu Ray players anymore and hasn't produced them for over a year now and if you buy one now the firmware is not compatible with the new Blu Ray or 3D formats, GO FIGURE. So I asked them why are there players out there on the market? They said that sellers are trying to off load them for quick cash and WE the purchasers will have to deal with the return/refund headaches if you can even get a refund. So I'm going to say this again "BUYERS BEWARE, DO NOT BUY A VIZIO DVD/BLU RAY/3D Player", Vizio does not produce them anymore. You have been warned.

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

I don't recommend trying to mix Dish equipment with anything else. If it works, you got really lucky. They are even touchy about what splitters/combiners used with specific equipment. If you don't have solid advice from someone who understands satellite gear pretty well, don't bother. Equipment specific to Dish Network can be a mystery.

Hi Jimmy, I just discovered with my Vizio Soundbar that once the Sony remote was set to the TV, it was auto controlling the sound bar volume, just not the ability to turn it on/off

James,I'm in the process to get Harmony 550. I was wondering about Dish network DVR buttons, specially "skip back" & "skip fwd". Are they working with your dish DVR? I checked a lot of universal remote controls, none of them worked. Thank You

Most all the incidences I have read about pertain to the Dish remote. I have Directv HD and no problems. The TV is AWESOME.

I don't have dish but this is a very simple soundbar and receiver to hook up. If you run an hdmi cable for you dish it would just go into this and then out to the TV. This device doesn't have a ton of options but I have had it for a few years now and I am still happy with the purchase. I did buy a Bluetooth reliever for it as well that I hooked up to stream music from my iPhone through the digital input.

If you have a headphone port on your tv, just plug into that, and plug the USB into any USB port(seves as rercharger). It'll work fine. I have a Vizeo older model which doesn't have a headphone port, but the TV is wired to my receiver/surournd sound system that does have a place to plug in headphones, so I used it. I plugged the USB into the cable box for charging, and all works well. I use Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth speakers when I'm outside to listen to the games while getting caught up on yardwork. Best 35 bucks I've spent!

HelloThank you for the question. This item is used for dish network equipment. It is probably compatible, but sold to connect dish network equipment to the Internet. I don't believe this is what you need. Best regards
