The soundbar has a setting called "All TV Remotes", but their own manual states that it may not work with some 3rd party remotes. In simple language that means it will be a crap shoot. You might get it home and it doesn't work, then your just stuck. No absolutely positive way to be certain ahead of time. Here's why. I just bought this to match a Samsung TV that's 2 years older than the soundbar model. I contacted Samsung support and they told me the TV remote will not control it due to the age of my TV model and upgrades to their firmware since then. They were wrong. The sound bar is controlled by all 3 of my remotes with no problem, including the XFinity cable remote. I got lucky, you may or may not. The best way to match a soundbar with an existing TV is to get one from the TV manufacturer, as I did.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
