TCL TV + Soundbar - One Remote, Easy Setup

If you've had trouble with similar remotes, this might be for you. I have a TCL Roku TV and a Vizio soundbar. I can't control the soundbar volume with the TV volume and optical cable, so I'm stuck with two remotes. This remote requires minimal setup and the setup process was EASY. First, the guide lists the types of devices you can control and the key combination required - I held down a few keys for a few seconds and I was done. The remote control then controlled my TCL TV. The volume buttons didn't control my soundbar, so I had to program them. It was just as easy - put into programming mode, select the button to program, point the remotes at each other, press the button on the original remote, the light will flash or glow, DONE. I did all three volume buttons in about a minute including reading the instructions. The volume buttons now work on the soundbar. The range is equal to or better than my original TCL remote and the remotes look and work the same. Part of my excitement comes from previous experiences with a VERY similar remote control. I had to program each button on the remote which was a tedious task of programming and testing each button as the programming function worked about 20% of the time. After all, it had a button that emitted a very weak signal and I had to be 2ft from the TV for it to work. One caveat: you need the original remote control(s) if specific buttons need to be programmed. .

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Socket Required
