Pair Vizio Sound Bar to DTV Gemini Remote
I just started my DTV streaming with gemini. I am having problems pairing my Vizio Sound Bar with the DTV remote. I put devices into bluetooth mode but they won't pair. This sound bar was working with my U-Verse remote previously. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I use a Harmony remote and it works great.

The DIRECTV Gemini remote is only used to program with the TV, not a soundbar.

So I can’t adjust the volume on my sound bar using the DTV remote? Just making sure. Thank you

Correct. If you already paired your DIRECTV Gemini remote with the TV, it isn't capable of controlling the soundbar directly at the same time.

Or buy a universal remote with more capability than the cheap DirecTV remote.

BTW guys I am now able to control my Vizio sound bar with my DTV remote. A message came up on my tv asking if I wanted to control my tv volume with my remote. I answered yes. Then it asked me to input tv model. I put in Vizio which is my sound bar instead of TCL which is my TV. Bingo ! The sound bar started responding to my DTV remote. Now I am trying to get my Harmony universal remote to work with DTV. Patience is the word ….

I see you posted that you are using the Harmony remote. Are you able to create activities and if yes how do you power on/off the gemini Air?

I don't have a Gemini Air. I have C71K boxes. I simply programmed my Harmony using the DirecTV device codes. Seems to work fine. Perhaps the Air is different?

I have the DTV Gemini remote and the volume is paired to my Vizio sound bar.
Switch your TV speaker to the method that you have the soundbar hooked up to (using your Gemini remote). You have to point both the Vizio remote and the Gemini remote at the TV while doing the next steps. On the Vizio remote go into setup, program remote, learn volume plus or minus whichever one you're doing first (repeat for the other after), then you click okay. On your Gemini remote move the volume button plus or minus whichever you directed the Vizio remote to learn. The Vizio remote process will stop shortly and you'll see that on the Gemini remote you can control the volume now when the sound bar is on. Pull the manual for the Vizio sound bar and it has that very instruction in there. It worked fine for mine which apparently might be the same setup you have.
