I plan on buying the new VIZIO S5451w-C2 soundbar when it is released & connect it to my current Vizio 55" TV's optical out or a new Vizio 70" P series via HDMI out when released. All components are connected to the TV via multiple HDMI cables.
I have TWC & with the TWC remote that I only use the TV function/button. With the TV button on the remote, I can control the Vizio TV volume, HDMI inputs & power on/off the Vizio TV + TWC cable box.
I wanted to know if I add the Vizio soundbar (either via optical or hdmi out), then I set the volume to variable, turn off the TV speakers, then set the Vizio sounbar to the middle of its range with the soundbar remote, can I then put the soundbar remote away & use the TWC remote to control the volume going forward? As in, keep everything exactly the same & use only one TWC remote with only the TV function/button to control the volume (I understand the soundbar will need to remain on)? Will the Vizio TV recognize that when I raise the volume on the remote, it should raise the volume on the optical/hdmi out to the vizio soundbar?
Thank you.
