Playbar/Sony TV/Sky remote

Seems my previous post did get through... Only now saw your last reply. I have most of your options... But I don't have 'Audio out', the HDMI/DVI nor the 'tv position' options.
Are you in the 'options' menu (on your remote, press options) or on the HOME>Settings menu (on your remote, press HOME, then select settings (the briefcase like icon )?

Eric...you rock! That was the last step in the painful process of setting up this sound bar.

Thanks Eric - I knew the solution was there. Love the Sony Sonos Playbar combination.

Woohoo thank you so much. Have been looking for a solution for days, and thought I tried everything, but this worked 🙂

I did this, but now the volume bar for the TV shows up when I adjust up or down. Any ideas to get rid of that?

If your TV when speakers are turned off still pops up with volume bar.... the only way to stop is teach your playbar a different remote from different mfg. so your TV doesn't see (or cover the IR on the TV - but will have to turn on then from button on TV).  Some TV's don't supress the volume bar.

Ok thanks for the advice. It's not really a big deal. The image only pops up for a second, but it's good to know a workaround

Your tip worked perfectly!! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm having the same problem with my Sony Bravia TV. The sound from the Playbar works just fine, but every time I adjust the volume up and down with my remote, the volume on the Playbar will change, but an alert message pops up on the TV that reads "TV Volume is Fixed." I went to the options on the Sony TV and switched the Speakers option back to TV from Audio System and the Playbar no longer works, but the error message goes away. Clearly the TV is alerting me that the "TV Volume is Fixed" when it's set to "Audio System." Any idea how to avoid this? It's not the end of the world but it's terribly annoying.
Hi,

I've followed the instructions below to get rid of the Audio is fixed message, but they all end up with me getting a volume slider which potentially shows the wrong value as you could have changed the volume using the Sonos App. I believe I have a better way of solving this.

First thing is to switch the TV speakers off as people recommend so that you get the annoying message, then you need to change the Sky Remote with a little know setting so that it controls Amps/Recievers, see link here: http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Archive/P...

In theory you can pick any model of receiver you want, the key here is that the volume buttons on the Sky remote will still switch your Sony on and off as well as change the AV input, but will be sending a different signal when you use the Volume Buttons and mute. You can now reprogram your PlayBar to recognise the new remote signals the Sky Remote is sending.

Hope this helps someone.

Now if only my Bravia passed through DD 5.1.

Now that the problem is sorted and I have the volume bar on screen... Is there anyway to make that volume bar disappear and nothing shows up when adjust the volume?
