Another question I got my tv connected to a sound bar via optical cable and when I do the auto set up for the remote and I pressed the volume button I get a pop up on the tv saying that is connected with the optical cable. Is not adjusting the volume. Any suggestions on how can I fix this?

So the volume doesn't go up or down?Did a popup ask if you saw tv volume?
 
Yes it did ask me but it shows the way the tv is connected to the sound bar not the volume. I don’t have this problems with other remotes. If I don’t program the remote to the tv it works fine.
 
If you have optical cable from tv to surround bar then you have to use surround bars remote control for volume. That’s how I have it for my parents because they have multiple device connected so all of them use only one remote control for volume.
But if you have only one device then I would connect optical from box to surround bar.
 
yes i have only one device the x5, i will try that. but what about when using the tv without the box? example like using youtube from your phone airplay?

So if you connect your surround system only to your box then whatever other than box you play on tv will only get sound from tv only unless you have audio going out from your tv to surround system via different cable.

If you multiple devices then your best bet is connect your optical cable from your tv to surround system then use surround systems remote to control volume.
