Can't control sound with sky remote
My sky box is connected to my TV with an optical cable and my home cinema speakers / DVD player is connected to the TV by HDMI.
The sound comes through the speakers fine but I can't control the volume from the SKY remote and have to actually get up to change the volume. I know, I bet your all recoiling in horror at what I've just written ![]() It used to work o.k and I've no idea why or when it stopped working, it was either when I upgraded my sky box or when I took the whole lot apart to give it a clean. Any ideas would be welcome. |

How was it controlling the sound before? Assuming it was CEC I'd look at those settings on the TV first - what TV do you have? Also what home cinema.

The TV is a Sony Bravia KDL40W5500 The home cinema is one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882676121 |

Have you tried resetting the code in the Sky remote?, it's 0533 for a Sony TV.

I have remote control on my smartphone - that does control the sky volume Edit: I should add, when I press the volume up / down on the sky remote it adjusts the TV volume, the TV volume graphic comes up, but as audio comes through the home cinema it is of no use. It is the Samsung home cinema I need to adjust |

Yes - I've tried a few times and on different remotes.

I suspect you perhaps plugged the surround system back in the wrong HDMI socket when you disconnected it to clean?. |

That happened to me recently. I even came on here to enquire why. Turns out the wife had put a framed picture on the TV stand and it was just in front of the sensor and, therefore, blocking the remote signal. What a tit I felt....
