Drawing audio from a TV has its limitations. Refer to the TV's manual regarding volume control of the audio OUTPUT.
If you MUST go this way, I'd still suggest using a Fixed output so you can turn the TV's speakers down or off without killing the signal to the Curtis. (TV's are on the low end of the audio food chain and actually will degrade rather than improve it.)
You could get the BEST possible TV-related audio directly and digitally from the source you're watching.
Testimonial: "mnay thanks, have tried this but seems to be no differance in the sound volume. Again just comes through as a set volume. "
You (still) don't specify how you're accessing the TV audio. EVERY component in an audio system usually sends a FIXED volume to the receiver by default. You're also not saying the volume is unusable. Are we flogging a non-issue?
Let's start over.
This component is designed as the sole audio and video source in a Home Theater and has NO inputs for either audio or video. So it's a gloried DVD player with speakers.
Your work-around of slotting the TV audio into the 2-channel input on the subwoofer/amplifier appears to be bypassing the volume controls (*) in the electronics unit so I imagine it's quite loud.
Your TV (Samsung?) should have a variable output setting or there is no solution using these components alone.
* Volume controls don't amplify a signal, they attentuate it.

im sending the audio signal through the TV audio out put and into the home ausio system out put as the only imputs on the system seem to be in the subwoofer for the satelite speakers. IM noe sure gow to get around this problem as there is no indication form both Curtis, or Samsung in how to rectfy this issue in the manuals.
I really am greatful of your time, and I think that you are right when you say that this is a glorified DVD player with speakers, as i cant get around the problem.
I have tried all imputs both on the amlpifier/woofer and on the Samsung tv, and i just get the same set volume that cannot be adjusted, no matter what way round i use the cables (inpu/output
This is turning out to be very frustrating, and seems quite farscical that i cant get around this.
again many thanks
