No... I have tried that, however the last step on the setup is to press the mute button that does not exist...
Try and click the Touch surface of the remote.
Tks. My problem is not setting up the remote with Apple TV, but using the remote to control sonos volume. The sonos setup requires that you press a mute button on the remote to complete setup. ( I was able to set up a different remote but not the Apple remote) since the Apple TV remote does dont have a mute button it does not finish set up.
If you have already followed up these steps I'd recommend to get in touch with the Sonos Support on Twitter.
+24That Apple TV remote is, by far, the worst remote ever created in the history of remotes. Vertically symmetrical, slippery and super-sensitive, with insufficient buttons. And no IR.

+21My solution was on the Apple TV to tell it to control "Sonos via IR" as a receiver... I didn't have to program anything on my Sonos to allow the Apple TV remote to control the volume.
MikeV is absolutely correct. I use my Apple TV remote and all you must do is enter the Apple TV settings:
I got it to work by playing a little trick. When the Sonos asked me to press mute on remote three times, I clicked in between the + - button making it think it was a mute button. The volume up,and down works. No mute, but it's something.
