Not sure you can. I couldn't do it with AT&T remote. Just follow the remote instructions & see if it can find the right code.

I got the cable guy to do it for me I was lucky it was complicated. I tried to do it again on my own with another remote but no luck. Hope your luck is better than mine.

You have to hook up an optical cable from the TV to the soundbar, then it will work when you put the soundbar in the optical mode

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.

You can connect it directly. It may not be the correct signal strength from the DVD and you probably won't be able to change the volume with a remote but it will work.

I have my TV set up to automatically connect to my soundbar when I turn on the soundbar. Maybe like 2 steps to initially connect the external speaker to the tv.

Use a digital optical cable from the sound bar to the tv. The second type of cable shown in the instructions is for a dvd player.

You can't - at least I can't. Being SIMPLINK compatible it should turn on when the TV is powered on as I understand it, but I could never get it to work. I have to turn the soundbar on then choose the input all the time. Not great but you get used to it.

The sound bar learns the commands FROM the remote. Just program your time warner remote for any tv brand other than the one that you have so the remote won't control the tv anymore. Then teach the volume setting to the soundbar. Download the quick setup guide for the speaker at the Klipsch web site for the exact steps

I couldn't get my universal remote to work either but didn't spend a lot of time trying,,,,I just use the soundbar remote.

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.

If you connect the sound bar to a TV via the included Optical Cable, that will NOT mute the TV's speakers. When connected via Optical Cable you need to lower the speaker volume to zero or press "Mute" on the TV remote, then control the volume thru the Sound Bar's remote...If you want the convenience of controlling ALL TV functions with a single remote, use the Headphone output on the TV to connect to the "Portable" input jack on the Sound Bar, via a double-ended male 3.5mm stereo cable. (Search on Amazon for ASIN: B0002ZPJZO.) Set the TV & Sound Bar volume level to no more than "50" and control the TV volume using only the TV remote thereafter.

I wish I could answer the first question. Mine is connected to a Samsung TV with an optical cable, though it has HDMI and RCA plug connectors available. My TV remote will control it, but I prefer to keep the controls separate, as there are many more options on the soundbar remote. It is occasionally necessary to work with the sync for reasons I don't understand for one, and the wide quality variations in audio input make other control features handy for good sound reproduction.

The red and white cables aren't digital. That's the analog rca cables. Switch the soundbar to the "aux input" on the remote. If you wanted to use the digital input you would have to connect the tv to the sound at with a digital optical(toslink) cable. Hope this helps!

We connected our DVD player to the soundbar. You just have to change the source on the remote control.

Either a digital optical or coaxial optical cable. Your TV most certainly has an output for one or both of those, which will connect your TV to soundbar. It should also work to transmit sound to the sound bar from devices plugged into your TV via HDMI(cable box, dvd, Xbox, etc). I have my unit connected with a coaxial digital cable and t sounds great and also has the bonus of not tying up and HDMI input ont TV because I use them all already.

If your tv doesn't have any alternate sound out option a sound bar wont work sir. You have to have coax (red, white,) cable ports minimum. Best are hdmi and optical ports. As long as you have something from your Tele to the shins system all others will come through. (Royku etc)

I don't know if you can use the TV remote or not with the soundbar. I did however have to buy a universal remote about 2 weeks after I purchased the soundbar because the remote that came with it stopped working. Also, after about 2 months I had to start turning the volume all the way up to get clear sound. I only use this in a bedroom, I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're using it in a living room or a family room.
