Volume
Increments
Some devices have extremely precise volume control. If you have placed
your TV in a noisy environment, it may take 10 to 15 clicks on the volume
scale before you can notice the dierence.
In a very quiet environment, you may prefer to adjust the volume very
slightly, to avoid disturbing those around you.
To simplify the control with Alexa or the remote, select how many
increments the sound will increase or decrease when you say
“Alexa, turn up the volume.”
Infrared Options
Dierent devices will have slightly dierent response times for their infrared
(IR) signals.
Place your soundbar or A/V receiver in an open location, not inside a
cabinet or shelf that will block the IR signals.
Follow the on-screen prompts to test the response times for your soundbar
or A/V receiver with the Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote, then adjust the settings.
Update the software that controls your soundbar, and change the IR prole
to match newer equipment if your soundbar is not responding as you expect.
Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote/IR extender: Choose which receiver will
respond to the signal from buttons on your Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote or
your Alexa voice commands.
Power Controls Power On Delay: The delay changes the time dierence between the TV
and the audio device being turned on. If you are able to turn your soundbar
or A/V receiver on with the Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote, but then the device
does not respond to additional signals from the remote, increase this delay.
This allows the IR signal to reach the equipment promptly.
Power Command: Power Toggle makes the soundbar switch to the
opposite setting to the on/o state it is currently in. As long as all your
equipment is powered on or o simultaneously, this setting can help your
whole entertainment system respond to the Power button on your remote
more simply. If any device in the group is powered on or o independently,
however, the soundbar may get out of sync.
If the soundbar turns o when you turn the TV on,
change this setting to the Discrete on/o option.
