Previously had a Samsung tv (using Roku streaming with Roku remote) - was able to pair Sonos soundbar with Samsung remote, and then after that, the Roku remote took over and sound volume worked with the roku remote for the Playbar. Bought new Series 6 TCL that comes with Roku built in, and Roku remote. My playbar is still reading the old Samsung remote (white light lights up on sonos soundbar when I push the samsung remove volume buttons) . I have gone into the Sonos>system> (Living Room Playbar+sub+Ls+Rs) > Remote Control Setup > Replace current remote> then pressed volume button on roku remote….. no luck, does not pick it up. Any help or advice appreciated.

thank you, easycraig

The Roku enhanced remote will not pair with the Playbar because it pairs with the TV over a wireless network and not IR. This allows it to be pointed anywhere and still work. It is an enhanced remote if there is a little pairing button in the battery compartment. I recently purchased a TCL 8 Series TV and this $7 replacement IR remote and everything works great. It’s not point anywhere but at least now I can control the TV and sound using a single remote control. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079HTPGC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Appreciate this. I just ordered the remote. I will take volume control with one remote over point anywhere.

Hey thanks everyone. I got that new remote before setting up my Playbar, “just in case”. It was the case and was able to use it to set up the Playbar. I’d have been super frustrated without it.
