Let me start by saying my TV does not support CEC. Until today, I had a Roku Express 4k with a voice activated roku remote that would turn off the tv when I hit the power button; it was connected only via HDMI.
Today, I got a Roku Soundbar Se which because I don't have CEC, is connected to the tv via an hdmi cable and an optical cable; when I connected to the HDMI, it recognized that there was no CEC support and had me plug in the optical cable. When I hit the off button on this new remote, the soundbar turns off, but the tv remains on.
So I paired my old roku remote to this soundbar and it then asked if I had a Samsung tv. I said yes and it tried a few pairing codes and eventually found the one that turns the tv off. And it can control the sound bar volume/mute. The only thing it cannot do is turn the soundbar off! Given that it successfully controls the soundbar, I can't figure out why it won't turn it off. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance....
