Dear all byond expert,

I just came home yesterday to my parents house and they had byond installed. it was connected to pioneer avr vsx-520k. I had to do some settings where i changed it to 5.1.

the problem is, i cant control the audio. the byond remote is sync to my LG tv. the remote is controlling the LG tv volume.

I was hoping anyone here can direct me to any instruction to increase the volume.

the old astro allows to control the decoder volume. but this one, it controls the TV volume. very very strange.

Any help or directions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Hope u use HDMI connection, if so check tv/amplifier settings if any and set it to amplifier.I see one connection is lacking if not hdmi connection rclxub.gif

thank you for such prompt reply. the byond decoder is connected to the Pioneer AVR through HDMI. so the sounds travel from the decoder to the AVR then through the speakers.

for some reason, the byond remote controls the TV volume. this is useless as no sound going through the TV speakers, only through my AVR speakers.

so......i thought the remote can control the volume like the old ones. so, is there no way to control the volume through the decoder? am i missing something here.

thank you again so much.

If 5.1 is selected TV  volume wl be disabled volume control  wld be  through HTS.Perhaps a coaxial is lacking,?!,Try meddling u  can solve it !!

er, maybe its more complicated than i think. the decoder is connected to PIONEER AMP. it has 3 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output.
i still cant find the way controlling the volume decoder. this is so freakin weird.

in short, i want to control the volume of the decoder, not the tv.

im soooooo confuse right now.

it allow me to control the volume of the decoder. just FYI, if anyone knows wat im talking bout.

Any great assistance is truly appreciated.

Thank you.

AFAIK decoder volume only can be control if you are using normal analog audio connection (red and white cable). If you are connecting your HTS either using HDMI or Coxial, you can't control the volume of the decoder.

Why not you try sync byond remote with pioneer amp using manual code or if you patience enough, try to scan the code.

was thinking the same thing. just havent got the time to figure out this sync thingy with my amp.
i think ill head over the Pioneer forum to ask about.

thank you.
