Comcast HD Remote Codes The five-digit codes listed by Comcast for their HD Remote (silver with red OK button) do not fully control the Sony ht-ct 150 soundbar. In particular, there seems to be no way to switch devices (eg TV, BD, SA-CD) or items in the sound field. I can get on/off, volume up/down and mute to work. Anyone have a solution (or must I keep the Sony AV remote handy too)?

I just bought the Sony ct 150 and am trying to get the comcast remote to control the volume; how did you do that?

Several steps: First enter correct code for the device for controling by AUX: 1) turn on Sony CT-HT150 2) press AUX 3) press and hold setup until AUX blinks twice 4) enter 31759 (first code for Sony Audio) 5) AUX will blink twice 6) check by aiming comcast remote at Sony and press power (should turn off) NOW do volume control by 1) hold setup down until light blinks twice 2) then enter 9 9 3 Vol+ (light will blink 4 times) 3) hold setup until light blinks twice then enter 9 9 3 (light blinks twice) 4) Press AUX. Now AUX should control volume no matter whether you use AUX, TV, or CBL. For some TV's (including mine), I also had to go into the TV menu and turn off sound.

This (setup code 31759) helped me with my HT-CT60BT. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/93-remote-control-area/1199956-programming-comcast-dvr-remote-control-sony-ht-ct500.html

Thanks Bob; after much research your post was the only entry where i saw hope. I was on the phone with Sony, Comcast, Motorola and couldn't come up with a solution. I was on the phone with Comcast when your post hit and I read it to them and they said it would work, but they said instead of using 31759 , they had me enter 1758. I don't have to hit / toggle the AUX / CABLE button at all. After doing what you said and entering 1758, my Comcast remote works for all functions on the TV (channel change, volume, on/off, etc.). When I turn on/off the DVR/TV via the ALL ON button, it turns on/off the soundbar also. It's great ! Thanks a million ! Thanks Bob; after much research your post was the only entry where i saw hope.

Hi Bob- thanks for posting on here. I followed your instructions with my comcast remote and I am able to get power and volume down on the comcast remote but no volume up (super frustrating). Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

I haven't really tried to get that to work. I was so focused on on/off, volume/mute that I didn't even thing that far ahead. If I figure it out I will let you know. I had the complete HD and movie package but scaled back last year.

This is my solution is a Harmony Universal Remote by Logitech! Works great!

I should have clarified that when I go to do the 9 9 3 the second time and hit AUX the AUX blinks twice at the end. Is this normal?

Regis: Sounds like you have a different version of the Comcast remote -- one with four-digit access codes. The newer HD ones have five-digit codes. Glad that everything works. You don't perhaps know how to control the source (TV / CD/ BD/ etc) or the types of sound (Sports, Movies, Drama, etc) with the comcast remote, do you? I still have to use the Sony remote to do those, if I need them.

Good question, but I don't know the answer. It's connected to a Sony Bravia television, but I've always used the remote that came with the sound bar to turn it on(no more room on the Comcast remote). I do know that when I turn it off, I only have to use the Comcast remote, however, which I've always found rather odd.

Hmm, all I could say is, if its for a Vizio HDTV the code for default should be the same, but I can't/nor guarantee it. But for the price it maybe worth the gamble. Do note I have notice the remote goes thru batteries quicker then any other one I have used in the pass. Anyway hope this helps, J

The TV set up asks you to specify your cable provider and plan. That apparently synced to the remote to bring up the cable box search functions, as well as change channels and volume. The Comcast/Xfinity remote has more feature though, so I use it too.

The ability to use the TV remote to control the volume of a home theater system is possible only if your HDTV supports HDMI ARC (audio return channel) and you have an HDMI 1.4 cable that supports ARC. At least one of the HDMI ports on your TV must be labeled with ARC. Check your TV specs. I just purchased the Panasonic SC-HTB550 for my Panasonic TC-L47ET5. It works beautifully with the TV remote to control volume. However, you must use the mini home theater remote to control the level of the subwoofer and other features.

I have a slightly different Panasonic Plasma but I think the remotes are the same. I can control the volume with the TV remote. There are a couple of things that don't work. The dialog level feature of the soundbar can't be controlled and there is no sound level indicator bar on the TV. The volume goes up or down but there is no sound level display.

Your sound bar would typically be the auxiliary output for audio so if you use this rca jack to connect to your TV or Comcast Cable box you can only control volume if your headphones or headset have volume control. The remote would not be able to communicate with the head phones so the unless the headphones have a volume control it will always be one set volume. Hope this helps.

31953. Code for lg sound plate for cable remote I have. My guess will work for most cable remotes to work with the sound plate. This code is for my Comcast/xnfinity X1 box.

I had trouble programming the code for the TV but I was doing it wrong. You hit Prgm button then enter the code to your TV (found on the last page in SMALL print!) & then you must hit the OK button! Then you try to adjust the volume using the remote. If the TV changes volume, then you found the correct code. If no volume change, then you have to enter the next code listed for your TV (doing each step I described). I had to enter several codes before I found one that worked. Helpful tip: write your TV code on the front of the digital converter box instructions & keep it handy. When the remote batteries get changed, you will need to reprogram the remote! Good Luck!

I know you've found your answer, but my code was one of the ones for RCA (10047 on my cable box/dvr remote). I plan on getting a harmony remote up and running. Does that have a dedicated code for it/work well in your hands?

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.

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

You can use code for a large amount of different tv brands and models. Check there web site to make sure a code is available for your specific tv. Fir the money, this is the best remote I ever owned. And I owned a plethora of Logitech Harmony remotes costing way more.

works fine with 3 of mine--shut off your tv speakersonly problem is , if you have comcast, the remote signals overlap.if you are going through the channels, the volume changes.. very annoying and a pain in the ass. unit sounds terrific, but the crossover of remote signals is a load of crap. had i known this, i would have purchased a different brand.. if you don't have comcast , you're fine.

I've got a sony remote from a TV I bought at the same time as the Network Media Player, but can't find the code to program it. Anyone know the remote code?

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), your HDTV's remote can manage up to ten devices that are connected via HDMI (such as Blu-ray Disc players or home theater receivers), no special programming needed. So, for example, you can use your remote to turn on your TV, your player, and your receiver at the same time, and adjust the system volume with one button.

As long as your TV has one of these, you can control the volume from the one remoteARC (Audio Return Channel) - yesVIERA Link™ (HDAVI Control 5) - yesThe different options etc you will need to use the SoundBar RC as this (as far as I know) isn't supported on the normal Panasonic remote
