I got my remote today but can't get my Vizio sound bar programmed. Where can I get the code for that or is there another way to program it?

Hi, This remote has a learning mode so that it can be programmed to replace remotes that don't have a specific manufacturer code available. I've used the learning function on three different remotes with no trouble. You need to have the old remote working to do this. The steps to "teach" the universal remote are very specific so have the user manual handy while you do it and take your time. Basically, you: - place the old and universal remotes so that they are pointing at each other, - put the universal remote into "learn" mode, - press the button on the universal remote where you want to store the command from the old remote and then - press the appropriate button on the old remote. The universal remote can decode the signal for that command from the old remote and store it in the button you selected. Make sure to finish the process by following the step to take the universal remote out of learn mode. Good luck!

No you can use the TV. Once programmed you're gonna want to turn off the TV speakers and use just the soundbar for sound. You might want to do it under aux though and set the default volume to aux instead of TV because if you do it on TV and just turn the internal TV speakers off you might get a message displayed on the screen every time you operate the volume. This soundbar sounds great too BTW. I've installed 5 of them and every customer loves them. Yes there are better ones out there, but it comes down to what you want to pay. Good luck and hope that helps

You did not specify a model but all the newer Vizio sounds bars have a Toslink digital audio input. You need to look up your model to make sure.

Go to Insignia website and do a contact us. Also know that your tv remote will usually control the volume even if your tv says feature not available.

Yes, the Harmony 700 will work with Visio's Sound Bar. Logitech's forums have questions about it's use and there are several folks figuring out how to use it. There questions revolve around using the Sound Bar and another device that produces sound. They wanted to control both with a single command and it appears that this is possible. Like the other answers here, I don't know if the Sound Bar is supported directly or if you need to "teach" the remote by using the Sound Bar's remote to program the Harmony 700 or if the Sound Bar is in Logitech's database of devices. That database is very large so it is possible. Either way, it looks like the answer is yes.

you have to look at the options for the programming of the remote. you should be able to tell from the choices that they give when in the programming mode. Vizio is one of the choices. This remote control controls my Samsung sound bar, however it won't turn it on or off, but it does raise and lower the sound level.

I found out there's a menu on the sound bar with the remote to program the feed between the sound bar and the television, like if you use the fiber optic cord or hdmi cord, hope that helps.

Well, in the past I had programmed the original Vizio power button to power on the DVD player, TV and Cable Box at the same time. All worked well until my cable provider (Time Warner updated their software) then I noticed that the codes for some of my devices had been deleted and would no longer work. I had since replaced the original Vizio remote and find that the multi device power button does not work. It now seem that the codes for some older devices are longer supported by the cable company. I experienced the loss of functioning device codes on my Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote also shortly after the cable provider software update...strange!

Mine worked as soon as I put batteries in - no programming required. My tv is a Vizio 55" E552VL.I know this is a no brainer, but I would just double check a few things - is your tv listed in the discription as being compatable with this remote? Do you have working batteries? Is the remote sensor clear from obstructions?If yes to all these, it might be they sent the wrong remote or that the remote is defective.Sorry, I wasn't too helpful - but I'm fairly certain that this remote comes pre-programmed to the tvs listed.

Hope you don't think I am being a wiseass, but are the blue lights on your soundbar on? Our first mistake was thinking that the green power light was "on". If the blue lights are not on, that is probably your problem. Next was the source. We use our bar on source 2, (there will be two blue lights on). The directions are poorly written, so we called the tech support number in the instructions. I recommend you do the same. The guy will walk you through syncing the remotes, and any other questions you may have. You will definitely want to sync this to your main remote. Hope this helps.

Not sure. But you should google the make and model of your Vizio and you will get the correct remote model for your Vizio. Make sure your Model number is listed under the models it will operate. Good Luck!

Unfortunately, you can't.... I even called DirecTV to find out if I could program their remote to handle this sound bar and they told me "No". Thus, I ended up buying a Universal WR7 remote which I programmed to handle my DirecTV DVR, HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and the sound bar as well. The WR7 is currently working great for me in this capacity. Hope this helps!!!

I bought this along with a Vizio A601i 60 inch back in 2012. I also had this same question that never was answered. Well I just figured it out yesterday so I will post my findings in case anyone else encounters this issue connecting this sound bar to a Vizio Smart TV. Problem(s): 1.) When using the Online content streaming of my smart TV (Vizio A601i-A3) the audio does not play through the sound bar (SB). 2.) Using the remote control of the sound bar there are only 2 HDMI options to select from . HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. There should be an HDMI ARC. Connection: From TV: HDMI 1 to SB HDMI ARC (out). Only the first HDMI port on the TV is ARC compliant. On SB: ARC (out) to TV. This leave 2 HDMI ports available for other devices (i.e. Blu Ray player, game console) Simple Solution (that I have yet to see in any manual anywhere): The TV CEC settings is what needs to be configured to be able to play audio to the sound bar. By default CEC is disabled. Enable CEC functions and turn volume control to ON. Run Device Discovery to verify the SB shows up in the list. From all I've been able to find is that the CEC settings is to allow the TV remote to control the volume of other devices. It makes no mention of it is an important step in streaming audio to a SB. After the above steps are followed use the SB remote to scroll through the HDMI source options. You should now see a third option (HDMI1, HDMI2, and HDMI ARC.) When streaming internet content from your Smart TV the SB should be set to HDMI ARC. I know this response is a year late, and I hope this helps someone else.
