Do not want any more remote controls-can this zvox4004201 be installed to come on and go off with the cable box remote control?

Yes, that's a big advantage the ZVox has... it is compatible with other remote controls. You will still have to use the ZVox remote to adjust the unit's settings, however, like bass/treble, surround sound level, dialogue emphasis on/off, etc. But those can be set and forget if you like.

We use our remote with n Optimum cable box and all of those features are available within the remote. If the device is supported by the remote, the remote will be able to control the device. If a there is no button to button match, like "DVR", other free buttons can be programmed to do the job. In my case, we programmed the "List" button on the Harmon to serve the function of "DVR" on the cable box.

Most likely this would work. This will allow your tivo to change the channels on your cable box, using the tivo remote.

Sorry I don't know how without turning off receiver or change input or turn off source(Cable box or Player). Need to read manual or contact customer support.

the Zvox box would work as long as you have the audio connections. I do not think putting it on top of the TV since it has a built in sub woofer that would be sending sound waves down into the TV. You might be better off with a system that had a wireless subwoofer.

Once you program your remote (tv or cable, whichever you use), both tv and zvox turn on when you turn on your tv. You can still use the zvox remote to change setting (surround1, surround2 etc) or to enhance dialog, but you do not have to use zvox remote to turn on, change volume, or turn off. To program is easy; follow instructions on sheet inclosed in box and the zvox display (in red on the front). You may have to repeat a few times, but when it says repeat, just repeat until it takes.

Good luck, I could not find ones that worked when I searched around. The only way I was able to set up another remote on this terrible unit, was through auto scan on my cable providers remote control.

yes, you can just bypass the remote receiver and not even install it, but it is nice for changing fan speed and dimming the light.

I'm pretty sure the directions that come with the remote say it won't work with a cable box. We do have cable boxes in our house, but not on the tv that we use this remote for.

I don't think so. I found it useful to turn on stations selectively without opening the control box. If you want to turn the whole system on and off, just open the box and do it.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping the receiver would allow a pass-thru or something if the receiver was powered off. Hopefully, I can map the on/off on the receiver to my Tivo's on/off.

No, but is has IR pass through that can control your cable box using the tv remote.

Our box has two analog stereo (R and L) inputs and one digital optical input. There's a label indicating a second optical input, but ours doesn't have the socket to go with that label. You'll have to switch the zvox input channel selection using either the zvox remote or another smart remote. Not sure why you would want to use a TV as an input when you have a cable box. We use the analog output of the cable box for sound with the TV. That covers your dvr and regular TV viewing. You could connect the blu-ray audio output to one of the remaining inputs.

I use this to control my satalite box, if the cable box uses a ir to remote control it should work if remote control is RF it probable will not work

Yes. I didn't need it to program tho. Just use cable. Radio. And free programming software

Honestly, I don't KNOW the answer. I'd say call the factory or a repair facility for an exact answer. However, I would assume that after they are programmed, they would both work, just not at the same time. Think of it like this: Manufacturer's remote and the cable remote. Both work just fine.. My opinion and educated guess. Hope this helps...

This remote is programmable to command channel and sound volume on a wide variety of televisions. In those two respects, it will do exactly what your TV remote does. It does not need to run a cable box.
