Control Your AV Setup with the SHIELD Controller or Remote with HDMI CEC
The best way to set up your AV system (whether it's a Soundbar or Receiver) is using the HDMI CEC settings. By configuring the HDMI CEC settings on your SHIELD, you can use the SHIELD controller and remote to control much of your TV or AV system. You can also use your AV or universal remote to control certain functions on your SHIELD. Go to Settings, then Display & Sound, and there you'll see Power control (CEC TV on / off) as well as Volume control (CEC). You'll want to turn both of these features on.

As an added bonus, you'll find the controls more responsive and snappier than with IR. Follow this link to get started.
Play / Pause using the SHIELD Remote
