HT-NT3 Sound bar

I have recently bought a HT-NT3 sound bar to go with my Sony 3D 55" curved TV,however when I use the volume control on the remote for the sound bar the volume on the tv adjusts as well.

 

Is this normal?? 

 

Or is there a way to alter the volume separately on both units??

 

Thanks Mark

I really can't understand your question. I assume your HT is connected via HDM-ARC to your TV so they are in sync and you can control both of them with the same (mostly TV) remote.

When the HT is on, the TV audio is autmatically muted and viceversa, so why on earth you want to set them differently?

Hi 

 

sorry I didn't realise they were linked & that the tv volume automatically mutes when the sound bar is on.

 

what I meant was that the volume indicator on both the sound bar & the tv both rise when pressed therefore I thought the volume on the tv was on as well.

 

hope that makes sense & thanks for your reply

Don't worry :slight_smile:

What you see is a feature that shows the sounbar volume level also on the tv screen (even if it doubles it due to the tv scale from 1 to 100)

My sound bar is not working & the volume is now only showing on the soundbar & not the tv as well when you adjust the volume.

i haven't altered any of the settings so I am worried the sound bar itself is damaged.

help needed ASAP thanks

Hi there

 

Its probably a HDMI handshake issue.  Turn both the TV and soundbar completely off from the power switch on the wall.  Leave off for 30 seconds and then switch it all back on again.

 

Cheers

Still no joy I'm afraid I've gone in to the Bravia sync menu & pressed enable but it is telling me no HDMI is available & check my connections

Hi there

 

Sorry for the delay in replying.  For some reason the tv or soundbar is not detecting each other.  Can you ensure that the actual HDMI cable is fully seated correctly on has not been slighly pulled out?

 

Best thing to do is turn it all off again, unplug the hdmi cable from either end and plug it back again and then switch it all back on.

 

If that still fails, can you test using another HDMI cable?

 

Also, i dont suppose you changed any settings on either the soundbar or tv, just before it failed to work?

 

Cheers
