A: I have the Sony TV XBR - 65X850D and the Sony sound bar CT790. The TV remote does control the soundbar volume when it is on. The only time I grab the sound bar remote is to choose a different sound effect or adjust the sub woofer volume independently.
A: Did you plug it into the HDMI arc on the soundbar? I put it into the wrong one at first. I have called Sony customer quite a few times to set this up. They are great and free.
A: I’m not sure you can without a remote, but... This happened to me. You have to connect the system to your screen and access the sound bar menu. HDMI 3 (ARC) channel. You might be able to do that with the buttons on the bar. It took me several tries. Maybe a cheap universal remote can be programmed for it?
A: I had the same problem. Turned off volume to tv ,an just turned the volume up. Maybe sub is to far away.
Q: Is this ready to use or do I have to get a separate amplifier and speakers
A: Hi Cindy, it's ready to use. You can simply connect the sound bar to the TV through HDMI or optical cable. Please check the startup guide for more details: https://docs.sony.com/release//QSG_4586047131.pdf Regards, ~Erin
A: Yes, the sound bar display will time out and go black (not exactly sure exactly how long) into standby mode. It will still be connected to your WiFi Network and be can awoken by video or audio input.
A: The CT790 does not have a separate volume for voice, it does have a 2 level "Voice Up" feature on the remote. This feature bumps up the voice only part of the audio in two levels or off. I have noticed this system in general has good voice/effect sound separation. I have also had systems that the voice is drowned out - like with TV speakers only - this sound bar is the best I've owned for nice clear voice over the surround sound effects. I paired with (2) SRS-ZR5 rear speakers and have a very nice surround set up for ~$700, which is the price of the Bose Sound Touch 300 sound bar only!
