Step by Step guide on how to get LG Magic Remote to work with a Sonos soundbar. Reference: support.sonos.com/s/article/3...
My updated video using a 2022 C2 OLED: • Using LG Magic Remote ...
Update 1: I tested the solution with a C9 OLED and the 2013 style Sonos soundbar. I have also been able to use this technique on a C6 OLED. Some replies are suggesting this method may not work with a CX
Update 2: If you have a Beam or are getting the Sonos Arc with HDMI ARC, everything should work as expected after selecting HDMI ARC as the output choice. The hack offered in this video should not be necessary.

You’re the man I was looking all over for this. There has been an update I believe however and Sonos instead of Phillips now works. And you don’t have to set it up in SONOS app now after, just click Sonos on the TV screen and the LG remote will work. I have a shield tv device and my shield remote is connected via the SONOS app remote settings. I can now use the shield remote and simultaneously use my LG remote to adjust the volume on my LG CX TV. I don’t have an Apple TV yet but this concept should work the same for those for have one. So that both of your remotes work for volume adjusting.

Firmware update from LG on my Oled 55 CX5LB has largely solved this. I now have firmware version 3.11.x; follow the standard directions, the trick is not to select Philips in the ready made list but to search for Sonos, which pops up even though it isn't in the visible list. It then all works - EXCEPT that the mute button on my smart remote still doesn't work. But although it's a bit irritating, I can live with that. Hours of frustration now largely behind me and I don't need to use my Sky remote to operate my Sonos Soundbar volume any more!

You sir are a genius!! Just got my brand new 2021 NanoCell working with your instructions. Best thing is the Sky Q remote also still controls the Soundbar volume!! Didn't have to do anything in the Sonos Controller app.

This should not be an issue with an ARC/eARC connection (Sonos Beam and following products)- I would not use optical if the ARC connection is there - the remote setup should work normally with that connection

@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO 7 месяцев назад

If you really want to know......Do it this way on an LG TV or Projector after 2018 or so. You have to almost trick it on a prior to 2018 model. Go to input selection/All all inputs and Edit Universal Control, then select Optical Input and not HDMI, then go to Other-Sounbar and select your brand and usually it will be a remote, that isn't the #1 remote. My Bose was #4. Point the remote at the soundboard to make sure it is reviewing an IR signal when the light blinks. You can't test volume +, when there is no sound. It works very well now. Channel works with HDMI 1 and Volume on the Soundbar. Same with other inputs. Once it's in Optical, it's in for all.

@timothysagehorn9438 3 года назад

@@monroethegreat7539 Incorrect. It does work using optical from the LG OLED65CXPUA. The not so great remote that comes with the LG TV will not operate the Sonos Playbar. When attempting to setup the LGTV to work with a soundbar, Sonos is one one the choices, but I am assuming that refers to using and HMDI_Arc method of getting audio to the sandbar. Sonos has a new soundbar the Arc that has eArc operation available. One can't get a new Sonos Arc until November. That, and the Sonos item we have is titled 'Playbar', not soundbar, and it came out over 4 years ago and wasn't particularly designed for use for TV. Just have a decent optical cable to connect the Playbar. You might notice a bit of 'clipping', or some distortion when occasional loud audio happens, There is no way yo adjust the level of the optical output from the LGTV item. That, and when you choose optical for the audio output from the LGTV, basically all other audio outputs cease to function. If you have a wifi headset connected, you will only have a few choices of getting audio to them. One, just wired headphones, one WH+internal speakers, which aren't terrible.

I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the feedback. I’m 99.99% sure you are doing this but just a reminder to point the remote at the Sonos IR sensor. Or make sure it’s not blocked.

@@neverenoughtech Yes of course ;) Almost shouted the signal to the sonos but unfortunately it still did not work.

@neverenoughtech 4 года назад

I reset my remote and was able to get it to work. Again 99.9% sure you did this but did you do the set up remote in Sonos app part?

@gabs0r 4 года назад

@@neverenoughtech Yes, followed the instruction to the "letter". Also tried the Philips alternative, which seems to work for the C8's. Same result unfortunately.

@neverenoughtech 4 года назад

That’s weird, my video features a C9. Have you tried other alternatives besides Philips? Blowing into the remote? Resetting the remote? Power cycling Sonos? These are the kinds of steps I would be taking at this point.

When I connect the universal remote to the Soundbar the subwoofer stops working. This shouldn't be this hard, come on LG

This didn’t work with my remote. Others do work, frustrating my old LG remote worked fine.

@neverenoughtech 4 года назад

Hmmm. Curious which remote you are using. Is it a Magic remote or a third party? This method worked with my C6 and C9 remotes. I’m assuming during setup you were pointing the remote at the Sonos. Anyway, sorry it didn’t work for you.

Yeah, I'm not having any luck either. But I have the sonos arc with the cx series lg magic remote. It shows it as connected, but not functioning.

@EUCitizenFedUpWithAllThisCrap 4 года назад

@@mr.goodie4431 I solved the issue, you can't have any other devices connected to the Magic Remote. The moment I connect my PS4 or set top box, it doesn't work anymore. Remove these and then it's fine. Also you may need to turn off the auto universal remote connection (otherwise my PS4 kept auto adding to it).

@@EUCitizenFedUpWithAllThisCrap you're right, had to remove Xbox and set top box... Mute doesn't work though... Any more tips?

Thy, but unfottunately it‘s not working with my bx9. I did it exactly as explained but at the end nothing happens when i try to connect it to the sonos app. When i press the sound up button as requested by the app nothing happens. Have you got an idea what to do? Many thanks

I've managed to do it finally! what I did- Part One - this should set up the TV/Remtoe to send an IR signal to Sonos Playbar LG settings - Sound Additional Settings DTV Audio Setting - Auto LG Sound Sync - Off Digital Sound Out - Pass Through Part Two LG Settings - Connection Device Connection Settings Universal Control Settings (I have no universal remotes setup here yet) Connecting to a new device Next Bluetooth/Sound Bar Next Optical Next Philips Before pressing next on the TV make sure you have the Sonos app open at the following page- SONOS APP- Settings>System>(Room with Playbar)>Remote Control Setup>(Possibly will say “Replace current remote - if already set up to an old tv)>Continue Back to the TV Next this then should sync the Playbar and Remote/TV together Done

This video is outdated, you need to select LG, not Philips!
