Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there! By default, Samsung soundbars can be controlled through a Samsung TV even when its connected via optical. If this it not working, you may be able to adjust the volume using the remote control used for the TV by adjusting the settings within the soundbar. This function can be used with IR remote controls only. Bluetooth remote controls (remote controls that require pairing) are not supported. Set the TV speaker to External Speaker to use this function. 1) Turn Off the Soundbar. 2) Push up and hold the WOOFER button for 5 seconds. Each time you push the WOOFER button up and hold it for 5 seconds, the mode switches in the following order: “Samsung-TV Remote” (Default mode), “Off-TV Remote”, “All-TV Remote”. Should you need further assistance, please contact Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG. ^Tim
