Remotes

[Anonymous]

Hello

I have recently purchased a Samsung HW-T400 soundbar to use with my Hisense Roku TV - model R50A7200GTUK. I've connected it up with an optical cable and everything works great. There is an option to use the TV remote to control the soundbar volume which I can't get to work. I've followed the steps in the manual several times but unable to do it. 

I just wondered if anybody has this make or/and model of soundbar and if they've had any success in pairing it?

Thanks

Sorry but it will never work, the soundbar option in the Roku tv settings is only for Roku soundbar/streamerbars or Roku Ready Soundbars.

Roku remotes only control tv volume, especially Roku tv remotes. If you want a single remote option it will have to be an aftermarket universal remote.

As was stated in above reply, the Soundbar option is only for official Roku manufactured Streambars/Soundbars and Roku compatible Soundbars.  They don’t list the Samsung HW-T400 as compatible with Roku.

@Tivoburkee @Michelle3 Thank you for your replies. I understand what you mean by saying you can only pair Roku devices in the settings. However according to the soundbar manual you can pair a TV remote by pressing a certain button on the soundbar remote to toggle through some options. Despite trying a few times I guess its just not supported.

Also I've changed some of the audio settings to what I believe is suitable for my setup. I've connected the device via an optical cable. I've done the following:

Audio Output - OPTICAL

Digital Output Format - CUSTOM> DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS ON

Would you recommend these settings or am I best sticking with Auto?

Thanks
