I'm looking for advice to enable me to control the volume on my setup using my new Samsung Universal Smart Remote. At the moment it just pops up an icon showing an optical or bluetooth connection depending on how I have the AVR connected- I guess it's not possible to adjust the output volume?
Running:
TV- New Samsung UE55KS8000 (my word this thing is good!)
AV Receiver - Harman Kardon AVR171
Connection: Probably optical is best? However I can use HDMI, ARC or Bluetooth if better.
Source; TV apps for Netflix and Amazon mostly, or also a Windows 10 HTPC over HDMI
I have the AVR connected over Optical out of the TV for now because I don't think ARC will allow me to run audio from TV to amp, only the other way round? Plus I hear that it only does Dolby not DTS?
Is there maybe a way to "teach" the samsung smart remote the AVR commands? I like the simplicity of it for everyday use rather than the AVR remote or a Logitech.
Found this thread but it has not really helped.;
