Will my new Samsung flat screen LED TV control the volume or do I need to use LG's remote?

If your Samsung TV is new, it most likely has ARC support on one of the HDMI inputs. Connected via HDMI ARC (with the TV internal speakers turned off) you should be able to control the volume with your TV remote. My TV (a Vizio) has ARC support and I initially connected the sound bar via HDMI ARC (cable goes from HDMI OUT on soundbar to HDMI ARC IN on TV) and the TV remote controlled the volume in this case. I have since switched to optical connection as I like the interconnectivity options and the way everything functions with my universal remote better with the sound bar connected this way. There is no guarantee it will work even if your TV does have ARC support as implementations from different manufacturers may vary slightly.

From my experience the use of the TV volume control by the TV remote control unit, it will only turn the speakers on your TV high or low. For the Panasonic speakers used here, you have to use the Panasonic remote control to adjust for the volume of its speaker output or unless your TV remote is a smart one which can be configure to emulate the remote controls of other devices of other brand including Panasonic.

Dear Jim,I don't think that there are remote codes for your TV remote to control volume on the NOVA. Most likely you'll need to control volume on the volume buttons on the Nova. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

The remote on my speakers does control the volume. The speakers work very well and seem to be durable.

Yes. I am currently using a universal remote provided by Verizon to channel surf, control volume, etc. I also use the remote included with the television. I have used my cell phones' s bluetooth technology to control the television as well. I think that you will enjoy all that this TV has to offer.

If you are running your external speakers through a receiver, all you need to do is turn the volume all the way down to zero on your tv remote (do not mute). Then control your volume with the receiver's remote.

You'll have to check the company's website for your TV model, but yes, the remote controls power and volume.

I have a Harmony remote and it works fine for adjusting the volume on the soundbar. My Panasonic remote will still work on the TV if I want to turn up the TV volume but I have no need for that using the sound bar. I am hooked up optical and use the surround sound setting.

This was purchased by me as a second control for our family room. It controls our LG 55" smart TV and the X1 box. It is not capable of controlling my LG sound bar when the sound bar is connected via Optical Cable, but can control volume on the sound bar when it is connected via HDMI cable.

I see no reason why that wouldn't be the case, although it may require you to switch between devices. I am using the system through my universal cable remote and have it set up as the "auxiliary" device. If I don't switch to auxiliary before using the volume buttons, the remote logic thinks I want to adjust the volume on my flat screen. You could route the audio through your TV, but then any volume adjustment would include the TV speakers which sound terrible. I'm running a fiber optic cable from my cable control box directly to my system. Sounds terrific.

No you will need to use the remote on the sound bar. I have not found a configurable remote that adjusts it other than the one it comes with. Besides you would not want audio coming from the TV speakers and the sound bar as it would sound terrible. What I do is set the TV sound at zero and just adjust volume via the sound bar control.

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'm running everything through my Samsung TV then out to the sound bar through the Digital Optical Cable. So my 3D Blu-Ray player and Xbox 360 run to the TV, then out to the sound bar. The remote for the Samsung TV will control the sound bar power and volume. The sound bar only has two inputs, the Digital Optical and the standard Left and Right RCA plugs. I've got the 7100 series Samsung TV, but if the model you are looking at has Digital Optical out, you should be fine. The sound bar comes with the correct cable to plug into the TV.

Not exactly. We have DirecTV (Genie-wired type) and an LG 55LB6300 connected to our Denon S514. We also have a second LG TV (same model, smaller size) that only uses the on-board speakers. On the smaller LG without the sound bar, we see the TV's volume level (numbered) go up and down on the screen. On the larger LG, once I sync it with the S514, when we use the TV remote to adjust sound, instead of the numbers, we just see a large + or - on the screen and the sound bar volume increases or decreases accordingly.

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

Yes this will work with other TV's, however the unified remote works only with the LG, so you will have to use your separate tv remote to control your TV.

Yes, you can either mute the tv or turn the volume all the way down (that way you dont see the mute symbol) and control the volume on the head phones.
