Frequently Asked Questions (Universal Remotes & Soundbars)
This is a common issue called “volume lock.” Many remotes are factory-set to only control the TV’s volume. You’ll need to follow a specific procedure for your remote brand to unlock the volume and assign it to the AUX or AUDIO device. This is usually in the remote’s manual.
Some more advanced universal remotes have a “Master Power” or “Macro” function that allows you to do this. You program a sequence of commands (TV Power ON, Soundbar Power ON) to a single button. Check your remote’s manual for “macro” programming.
No. If you are using Bluetooth to connect your soundbar to your TV, a standard Infrared (IR) universal remote cannot control it. The remote codes and programming methods discussed here only work if your soundbar is connected with an optical or HDMI-ARC cable and you are using its IR sensor.
