Marko Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Hello team I connected the Klipsch The Fives over HDMI to my TV. As I like to keep it simple I want to navigate with the TV remote. But the volume increments are massivly higher. On the Klipsch remote 1 to 2 steps require about 15 presses on the TV remote which is way too much. Anyone else having the same issue?

billybob Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I usually just press and hold until level acheived. Sounds like a quality fine stepped remote. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Out of curiosity have you tried an optical cable instead? Could it be a case where your TV volume or a setting for it is set incorrectly? Do you have the TV speakers turned off and the audio output on your TV set to 'fixed' or something along those lines? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techguy52 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Same here, I was hoping to replace my Bose SoundTouch 300 soundbar with the Fives, I use my Roku remote but the results were the same. Any time I needed to change the volume level I found that I had to hold down the volume up/down buttons a lot longer than before, not only that I found that I was constantly changing the volume level every time I changed channels. It was so annoying that I stopped using them. I'm hoping that Klipsch can correct this with a firmware update but there hasn't been a new update in awhile. -Skip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optical makes it even worse. Sound is here but volume control shows the scale on the tv without changing the volume on the fives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a universal remote change this but I dont want to buy one just to try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a universal remote change this but I dont want to buy one just to try this It's not the remote, I get the same results whether I use my Roku remote or my Samsung TV remote or my Google TV remote. It was so bad when I had The Fives connected via HDMI ARC that I would change TV channels standing near the The Fives so I could use the volume knob on the speaker to raise of lower the volume as needed since it was much faster that way. I suspect the problem is with the DSP implementation in The Fives since the HDMI ARC spec is pretty much standard across the board. I'm hoping it can be fixed with a firmware update because even though I prefer the sound of The Fives I've had to go back to using my soundbar since the sudden volume changes were too much to deal with.

CJ75 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Same issue here with LG TV and all the latest software/firmware updates on the fives. Yes it's annoying, but they sound so good that I can overlook this flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
