BRAVIA TV Volume Jumps 2 steps when SoundBar is connected

[c_bech_0909]

I have recently connected a HT-SF150 soundbar to my KD43XH8066 TV using the ARC HDMI method. No problems connecting, however I notice that when I change the volume using the remote control, the TV now jumps two steps - skipping every odd numer (for example: from 12 to 14, skipping 13).

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thank you in advance.

Which remote, TV or soundbar? Which volume jumps, TV or soundbar?

The volume number on my Yamaha soundbar registers about double what the TV shows; but without objective SPLs this is as meaningless as Nigel Tufnell’s ‘This goes up to eleven’.

Which your devices now, alas, just skip right over 😛

It is the normal behaviour. Your TV has a range of 1 to 100 for the volume while the soundbar 1-50 so the tv is adapting to the soundbar when connected while remaining in its range
