Soundbar setup

[lollypop11]

Hi everyone,

i am wondering if someone could help me. I have bravia X900E android tv which is hdmi arc capable. I had a soundbar which was connected through the tv using hdmi arc port however just recently I have purchased a new sony soundbar MT300 which doesnt have hdmi output, rather it connects using optical output.

I have connected it to the TV and everything is fine except it obviously doesn't work as good a my previous setup where the soundbar used to turn on and off with the tv remote and the same remote could manage volume and mute buttons.

This also causes probelms with the apple tv where apple tv remote only changes the volume of tv, not the soundbar.

Can someone advice me a workaround so I could somehow achieve that capability of controlling the volume using tv remote or an aftermarket conveter that could make it possible to connect the soundbar to the arc port?

cheers

Hi @lollypop11,

the first solution which comes to my mind is getting a universal remote, which can control all the devices in your living room.
