Hi, I'm sure this is really easy to fix, but am struggling.....I installed my Playbar today, I have a Sony TV which I control with my Sky remote. I have got the sound coming from the Playbar and changed the speakers to Audio System on the TV to do this. However, although I can control the sound from my Sky remote, everytime I change the sound I get the message "TV Volume is Fixed". Any ideas how toi disable this?

I have the same TV as Daryl and cannot get the settings listed to work either, any help will be appreciated.

Hi Daryl, managed to do it via the iPhone app, now working with both the original TV remote and the Sky remote. Cheers.

Do you know if the optical out on a Sony TV is variable or fixed?

Hi User368015 I've been back through my setup and realise I could have done it all from one screen menu: Home - Settings (suitcase icon) - Sound Then select: - Speakers: Audio System - Headphone/Audio Out: Audio Out - Audio Out: Variable The on-screen volume won't always reflect the Playbar volume at the beginning of each use. You may need to keep pressing vol- until the Playbar is silent in order to re-sync.

Thanks for the suitcase icon. This worked.

Best thing to do is to throw Sony out the window and buy a Samsung. I am considering that.

Outstanding. Just got a new Sony 4K and was struggling to turn this off. It worked! Outstanding

Home - Settings (suitcase icon) - Sound Then select: - Speakers: Audio System - Headphone/Audio Out: Audio Out - Audio Out: Variable The trick is..you have to go home on the remote to get into the 'smart' part of the TV; don't use options button on the remote that brings up basic settings... It works as a dream on an XBR850B
