42SL417U with Vizio Sound Bar

I have a Toshiba 42SL417U flat screen TV with a Vizio VSB200 Sound Bar. Everything is working correctly. However, I would like to control the sound bar volume with the Toshiba remote (CT-90366). I cannot find the code to enter on the Toshiba remote to control the Vizio sound bar. The Toshiba user manual does not contain codes for a Vizio sound bar. The Vizio user manual provided a code of 1517 for use with a Vizio TV remote. However, that code doesn't work for the Toshiba TV/Remote. Any other ideas?

Hadrian98 - Can you find a code that turns the Vizio soundbar on/off while you are searching for the code? That is what alerts you that you have found a correct code. To actually make it work, you need a couple more steps. You need to program code 955 to change the default from ALWAYS controlling the TV to another option. You need to add the Vizio to the power control list ( att/ok - 977 - list all your modes - enter). Some sound bars can be programmed to accept other IR to control them. That is, apply the TV volume IR to the Vizio to make it seamless. If you cannot get a compatiblity - You can program the u-verse remote to follow the mode selection, instead of always controling the TV (att/ok - 955 - enter). Then, while in att mode (i.e. normal watching the volume button will control the STB). Set the STB volume down to 15.Set the TV volume to a comfortable level.Set the Vizio volume to a comfortable level. While watching, in att mode, the volume control will vary what you hear from either the TV or the VIzio. Whichever audio is on. Here are some other remotes that support your setup - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=RCRP05BR Logitech Harmony 350 & Smart Control (awesome - https://forums.att.com/t5/Using-your-U-verse-TV-Remote/Logitech-Harmony-Smart-Control-Remote/m-p/4028946#M2963)

Macbook pro will not pair with Vizio sound bar.

Macbook will not pair with Vizio sound bar. It has paired and worked fine in the past. in the menu bar at the top of the screen it says it is connected but it is not. when I open the bluetooth preferences and try to pair it says pairing failed. any help would be great. thanks.

Me too. sigh
All was well until this afternoon, when I swapped out the batteries on my trusty old Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, which has worked flawlessly for me for a few years now. After I put new batteries in, my MBP wouldn't recognize it. I went through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant, and it "saw" the mouse and properly listed it as "Microsoft Mouse". I hit "continue", of course, and the Assistant said "Pairing with your Bluetooth mouse". It got as far as "Connection established" (and I saw the mouse appear in the Bluetooth preference pane", but then I got the dreaded red words: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Make sure your mouse is in range of this computer, turned on and "discoverable." Etc., etc. I made sure of all of those things and tried again, many times, with the same failure every time. I tried different batteries, rebooted the Mac, and so on. No luck.
Figuring my mouse was dead, I went out and bought a Kensington Slimblade Bluetooth Presenter Mouse, brand new, never been paired with anything. Same problem!
Also, I can no longer get my Palm Treo 650 to sync via Bluetooth. It used to be a little flaky (often complained that the port was in use by another application), but rebooting the Treo always solved that. Now, it doesn't.
One trusty old mouse suddenly stops pairing, one brand-new one refuses to pair, smartphone won't sync any more. I haven't installed any system updates or anything else since the Microsoft mouse worked. The only weird thing going on is that I'm having massive network connectivity issues with my broadband connection (probably a flaky cable modem), and a couple of days ago I bought a new Airport Extreme a/b/g/n wireless router, which is at the other end of the house from my computer and now-defunct mice.
Very bizarre. Can the Bluetooth chip or antenna in a MacBook Pro burn out or otherwise fail?

HT1586 Apple TV/Vizio sound bar

I have Vizio sound bar and tried to connect Apple TV using toslink cable.
Can't get ANY sound.
Aside from removing the nibs on the cable, what am I doing wrong?

It's not the soundbar it's the Apple TV settings. Go to the menu under audio/Video look for Dolby Digital and change to off, this will do the trick. Some have said that the audio output needs to be on 16 bit as well but mine wasn't changed and it works great. I use a Vizio VSB210 soundbar with wireless Sub.

Bluetooth can find samsung sound bar but cannot keep the contact iPhone works well with s sound bar

I can listen to my music with samsung soundbar wh 550 but i cannot do that with my mac book air.

USE this
Search Terminal (on your tool bar on the top right hand side)
Paste this code:
defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent “Apple Bitpool Min (editable)” 40
you can delete the number 40 and add any number between 40-60 (trial and error)
i have a samsung soundbar and i used 54 works and sounds great!!!!

MacMini, Vizio TV, & Sound Bar

I've been running a MacMini through my Vizio TV via an HDMI connection and using it as my home entertainment hub. I recently purchased a Vizio Sound Bar + wireless subwoofer from Costco, hoping to beef up my audio. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to force the TV (or the MacMini) to recognize the sound bar.
I've tried connecting the sound bar to the TV via another HDMI cable as well as using a 3.5mm RCA cable that came with the sound bar, but no matter what configurations I've tried the sound from my computer will only play through the television's internal speakers, not the sound bar.
The mac mini's sound preferences only recognizes the TV as an output source.
Hoping somebody on these forums has figured out how to get all these components to play nicely with each other.

I ended up purchasing a digital optical cable and an adapter that allows me to plug into headphone jack in the back of the MacMini (about $3 total from Amazon). This seems to be the best way to get solid digital audio (much better than running the optical cable from the TV to the Sound bar).
Final setup looks like this:
MACMINI <---HDMI---> TV
MACMINI <----Optical Cable + Adapter----> Soundbar

It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.
The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?that will play audio please

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price

How to setup a sound bar on LED TV 42SL417U

So I've been trying to figure out how to setup a sound bar that uses AUX Left and Right cables onto my LED TV 42SL417U. I've been trying to connect the cables into every possible port on the TV and nothing works. What do I do???

Hi -
What make/model of sound bar are you trying to connect?
The only "outputs" for sound to an external device from this TV are the Optical and HDMI connections. Page 18 and 19 of the Owners Manual talk about connecting to an external audio source.
Hope this helps.

How do i fix the sound on an iPhone 4S? When i play music the sound bar at the bottom disappeared and when i try to adjust sound with the buttons on the side, nothing happens. Also the sound in my apps is not working.

The sound isn't working. And it also does not appear, when i try to adjuct it with the buttons the sound bar doesn't appear and when i try playing music at the bottom the sound bar disappeared. How do I fix this?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Have you gone through ALL of these troubleshooting steps?
If you have gone through all the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

LG Plasma with a Samsung Sound Bar

Hi,
We just purchased a LG plasma TV and we already have a Samsung Sound bar. We are having trouble hooking up the sound bar to the TV. Does it have to be connected through optical part or can we connect it through a HDMI?
I hope someone can help!

I don't think your tv has an Audio Return Channel (ARC) but it depends on the model you bought. Not sure which Samsun soundbar you have but 450 doesn't have HDMI on it and I'm not sure if the 550 soundbar is capable of an ARC HDMi connection. Either way your best bet is to just use an optical cable. In the LG menu just tell the TV your using external speakers so it will use the sound bar only.

Sound bar with iPhone dock at reasonable price?

I'm looking for a sound bar/home theater system for my girlfriend that she can also put her iPhone into for music. Looking to keep it under $300... Any suggestions?

I've installed the iLive and it's horrible. Every time I've set it up has been for TV use and not for ipod use though.
I bought my mom the Kicker iK501 for Christmas and it's amazing! It actually has it's own passive subwoofer. I would highly recommend it.
If you're looking more for a surround sound you would probably looking at a home theater in a box, especially to keep it within the $300 price range. The samsung HT-D5300 is a little over your price range, but it can also play blu-ray discs.

Sound bar keeps interfering with internet

how do you hide the sound bar so that it stops popping up while i am on the internet. i can't even type in an url now

Lidmoore,
Welcome to the forum.
IMO...
That doesn't sound like a normal sound bar. Sounds way more sinister.

REGZA sound bar connection

How to connet Toshiba SBZ 1520 3d sound bar to my REGZA 42XV540U tv ? Use optical cable?

I also have a sound bar that I wanted to connect to my Toshiba 42XV540U and it came with a digital optical cable to use. The digital optical cable will not stay in the digital audio out port on the back of the TV. I can put it in there (doesn't "lock" into place though) and it will stay for a minute, but fall out if moved at all. It is the correct type of digital cable to use with the TV (regular digital optical cable not mini). When I plug one end of it into the back of the sound bar, it makes a "click" and locks in. It does not do that on the back of the TV. It is almost as if the digital audio out port/connection is not made correctly on the TV. The sound bar is a Vizio S3820W-C0. The sound bar did come with regular audio cables as well, but then if I use that it defeats the purpose of having a Dolby Digital sound bar speaker. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
