My beam is working connected to a new-ish LG 4K tv via ARC. However the beam IR receiver doesn’t do anything with my remote controls and the beam is concealing my TV IR receiver. How can I fix this pass through

Raised this problem myself but think found fix.

Go in via sonos app, settings>room settings>RoomName>TV>Remote control.

This got Beam IR to recognise remote control for volume changes.

This works thanks. I couldn't find it when looking before. It only works for volume which is a bit annoying but at least that works.

Same issue with my Beam, connected via HDMI ARC. Current work around is a stack of books for the TV to expose the emitter.

I think I might have to do this for the rest of the features as I use the TV menu a lot to access YouTube and Netflix in 4k natively.

My beam doesn't want to pair with my vu+ remote or with my phillips tv remote.
Press volume up 3 times and then it say i didnt press the button
