Can an Insignia TV control the soundbar volume?
I bought my parents an Insiginia plasma back in 2010. The model is NS-42P650A11.
I see that the NS-42P650A11 insignia HDTV has HDMI 1.3 inputs so it does not support ARC (Audio Return Channel). That was added in HDMI spec 1.4. Due to that, I did not go with a Soundbar with HDMI ports/ ARC capability as it would not be able to be utilized.
I'd like to give them this Insignia soundbar if their TV remote can control the volume of the soundbar. I am hoping sticking with the same brand it will integrate better for my elderly parents. Even better, it would be nice for it to power on when it detects the optical signal and power off after 5-10 minutes of no signal detected.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
