The Sonos instructions to use the Apple TV 4th Generation remote to control volume on the PLAYBAR don't seem to work with the new 4K 5th Generation Apple TV. Has anyone gotten the remote to work to control the volume on the PLAYBAR (without ALSO turning up the volume on the TV itself)??

Got it to work. Had to manually set the Apple TV 4K to "Control Receiver by IR", rather than Auto. When I went through the SONOS remote setup, I had to use another controller for the "Mute" button part, as the Siri Remote does not have a mute button.

The Apple TV remote is probably the worst remote in the history of remotes, I will do anything to not use it.

I have no problem with my 4k ATV and Playbar, I just use my TiVo remote to control volume.

I certainly concur, although my remote of choice is a Logitech Harmony System. I’d love to throw Apple’s remote through the window, when I have to use it on trips.
