Currently, I directly hooked up my 2.1 through 3.5 cable (Headphone) but could not able to control the volume via TV/DTH remote, will this help?

I don't believe so. This simply converts digital output to analogue. In my setup the volume is controlled through a separate in-line pre-amp. Hope this helps.

I connect through an audio switch, which enables me to control the volume using DTV remote.

Make sure the TV sound is disabled. Volume will be controlled by SoundPlate remote.

I'm not very technical and had someone else hook this up for me.I have cable TV. Before I purchased this soundbar, I was using the cable remote to control everything, including volume. The volume and channel change on the TV remote doesn't work when set up this way.After the soundbar was hooked up, the TV remote was still off line for volume and channel changing. I can control the volume by both the cable remote and the small remote that came with the soundbar.Sorry...that's the best I can tell you.

The volume can only be controlled by the sound bar remote. I thought this would be a problem but I have my television audio set to auto adjust sound and very rarely need to ever pickup the sound bar remote.

I use my Sceptre TV remote to control the Sceptre sound bar volume. The TV remote has separate volume +/- buttone.

I have a RCA universal that I direct key programmed some functions to, however, once I connected the HDMI from the tv ARC to the sound bar ARC the volume control automatically worked without having to change the input source on the remote. I don't know about your specific remote but looks to me if it is a universal it probably would.

Yes you can. If your tv has a 3.5mm headphone/earphone jack. Once you have plugged it in, turn the volume on the tv up to half, and gauge the sound with the volume control on the Altec speakers. Then you can use the tv remote to adjust volume from there.

I believe that is a function for a different unit that uses the same remote. Mine doesn't work either. But setting the bass and treble to the right levels, along with the 3d sound on, gives me some awesome sound. Most of the presets usually suck anyway.

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.

Hmm, well the tv is only really a monitor and wouldn't have anything to do with sound in this case right? Wouldn't you need to get the dolby sound from the broadcast source like your cable or directv box? e.g. connect your audio optical cord to the cablebox directly & plug directly into your HT setup.

Yes - you have to use the separate remote for it to turn it on, but then the TV or cable remote should work for the volume.

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

Yes, the TV remote can adjust the sound volume, ONLY if the soundbar is operating. The soundbar produces great audio, but this product is not very reliable. Mine worked very well for the first year, now getting sound from it takes a tremendous amount of time & patience and luck. The main issue appears, to me, to be a major conflict in the VieraLink software or hardware. Good Luck!

My volume works fine except for a loud vibration beyond a certain point but then im using my cable remote not the tv remote. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. The base connects to your TV via a toslink optical cable, a necessity to get the high quality audio signal. Not only can you turn down the TV's volume, but really you must, there is just enough delay in the signal getting to the headphones that you hear a disconcerting "echo" if you try to use the headphones while the speakers are on. BTW the pseudo 7.1 sound really is nice.

Not a tech person, sorry I can't help you, but I do know that I love the remote and could use the volume control if I wanted to. We have the sound hooked up to surround sound.

Sorry but the remote control is not compatible. That is why the volume doesn't work. I wasted my money on this contol also. In my case the remote control worked on the TV, but not on the cable box, or DVD and not on the Roku 3.
