Don't worry, we'll keep things on Planet Earth and focus on regular Vizio soundbar remotes. Here are a few options for adding control:

1. Universal Remote:

Purchase a universal remote that can be programmed to control your Vizio soundbar. Popular brands include Logitech Harmony, GE, and RCA.

Follow the instructions provided with the universal remote to program it with the Vizio soundbar codes.

Many universal remotes have online databases where you can search for your specific soundbar model and download the necessary codes.

2. Vizio SmartCast App:

Download the free Vizio SmartCast app on your smartphone or tablet.

Ensure your soundbar is connected to the same WiFi network as your smartphone or tablet.

Open the Vizio SmartCast app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect it to your soundbar.

Once connected, you can use the app to control various soundbar functions like volume, equalizer, and sound modes.

3. HDMI-CEC:

Check if both your TV and soundbar support HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).

Connect your TV and soundbar using an HDMI cable.

Enable HDMI-CEC on both your TV and soundbar.

You should now be able to control some basic soundbar functions using your TV's remote control.

4. Vizio Soundbar Remote Replacement:

If you prefer a physical remote, you can purchase a replacement Vizio soundbar remote.

Make sure the replacement remote is compatible with your specific soundbar model.

You can find replacement remotes online or at electronics retailers.

Here are some additional tips:

Check your Vizio soundbar manual for specific instructions on using the remote or programming a universal remote.

If you're having difficulty, you can contact Vizio customer support for assistance.

Remember, universal remotes and apps might not offer all the features of a dedicated Vizio soundbar remote.

Rest assured, there's no hidden alien tech involved in any of these options. You're safe from intergalactic abduction and probing!
