Chromecast with Android TV IR Remote

by VIKdich

Hi,

today I get my new Chromecast and I was wondering that's not possible to turn Soundbar and TV on/off over IR Signal. Only the one or the other is possible in settings.

Did anyone have a solution to this problem?

See if you can get your soundbar to power on with your tv independent e the Chromecast. It's the only way.

It asks you during the setup but I never found (basically didn't look) to see if I could change or add anything. But one would assume that you can if you can add it during setup.

Had the same issue. For a workaround, I had to setup the sound bar via bluetooth for the tv to turn on/off the soundbar

I came here to ask the same.

the soundbar would turn on via HDMI CEC when the TV turns on but now I need that port for the chromecast and plugged in the soundbar via optical cable.

the remote can increase and decrease the volume, but it doesn't turn the soundbar on
