Most users teach the soundbar to respond

to their preferred remote control using the

soundbar built-in “learning” function. Should

this approach not work with your preferred

remote control, there is an alternate method

that can allow your preferred remote to

control the sound level heard from

the soundbar.

To use this method, your preferred remote

control needs an Aux or Audio device button

in addition to device buttons for the TV and

set top box. This method cannot be used if

your preferred remote control has only two

device buttons. (Set Top Box and TV). You will

also need the User Manual for your specic

Cable or Satellite remote control, along

with the “device brand and code” list for

your remote control. This list may be a

separate document from the remote

control User Manual.

Using the PS numbers 1 through 6, you set

the SB400/SB500 to respond to the the

remote commands of a popular manufacturer

of TV or audio systems. In most cases, you

need to choose a different brand than your

TV. Choosing a brand that is different from

your TV eliminates the chance that the TV’s

internal speakers will start playing along with

the soundbar. Sony is a good choice from the

PS menu for most TVs. Most cable or satellite

remote controls can be adjusted to control a

SB400/SB500 set to “Sony” in the PS menu.

Because most Sony TVs have an “internal

speakers off” option, you can even use the

“Sony” option in the PS menu with Sony TVs.

If your Sony TV does not let you turn off the

internal speakers, you will need to choose a

different brand from the PS menu numbers 1

through 6.

Using the SB400/SB500 remote control emulation modes

PS 1 through PS 6:

Once you have chosen a brand from the

soundbar’s PS menu, you need to adjust

the setting on your cable or satellite remote

so its Volume buttons adjust that same

brand of Aux or Audio device. There are two

adjustments you may need to make on

the cable or satellite remote.

Cable/Sat remote adjustment 1: The

volume buttons on a cable or satellite remote

are typically “locked” on to the TV’s internal

speakers. Even if you press the “Cable”

button on your remote, the volume buttons

will still send out volume commands for

your TV, not the cable box. You need to

unlock the Cable/Sat remote volume buttons

according to the cable or satellite remote

control’s instructions. Once unlocked,

pressing Aux on the Cable/Sat remote

will then cause the volume buttons on the

Cable/Sat remote to control whatever brand

of device is set on the Aux button.

Cable/Sat remote adjustment 2: The

cable/satellite remote instructions will also tell

you how to set the “AUX” or “AUDIO” button

to the brand you chose on the soundbar’s

PS menu. The instructions should list a few

numbers that let you control a device that

responds to Sony codes, for instance.

Try the different “number code” options

listed until you nd one that controls the

SB400/SB500. If you cannot nd a code

that controls the soundbar, you can set the

soundbar to one of the other four brands

available and search for a compatible code

for that brand.

Once you nd a code number that controls

the SB400/SB500, you can then “lock” the

cable or satellite remote volume buttons to

adjust only the Aux or Audio device and not

the TV. Once locked, the volume buttons will

always control the soundbar, even if a TV/

Cable/Satellite/DVD button on the Cable/

Satellite remote control is pressed.
