I have a new kd-49xd8099 Smart TV which I’ve connected to a set of Edirol monitor speakers using the Optical Digital output. The problem is that I can no longer control the volume through the TV i.e. using the remote control. The sound does not change if I alter the volume level on the TV at all. Does anyone know if there is a setting that I need to change so that I can vary the volume through the TV?
Tv is sending a staright signal of sound by optical, and You can't control this by a tv volume.
Sorry what is a 'staright' signal?
Hi
I think its a typo. "Straight" is probably the word
To control the volume via the TVs remote control, you need to use HDMI connections. It is the HDMI-CEC functions that support this. Hence will not work with an optical connection
Cheers
Thanks that makes sense. Do you think the best way to connect to the speakers is through the headphone output then?
If you wanna control volume by tv, yes use headphones output.
No, don't use the headphone output. Use HDMI CEC to connect if your soundbar has the option!
