Playbar with multiple remote controls

Can the playbar understand multiple remote controls? I have a media server remote control as well as a TV remote control. Lets say I have the media server remote in my hand, normally, this wouldn't be able to turn up the TV volume (as it controls just the volume output from the media server). Can the playbar understand both to save me reaching for the TV remote everytime?

      A friend of mine bought one last week so I asked him to test this yesterday, seems that it can only handle one remote. He tried going into settings to add another but couldn't find this - he said that you can run through the setup wizard again but this only allows for one remote.

      I would love an update to allow this.  I have the cable box remote and TV remote.  The smart TV remote is great, but my wife likes the cable box one better.  Id like both to be able to adjust the volume.

      My new TV (Panasonic has to remotes as default) Please update so it will be possible to add more than one remote to the sound bar.

      You might want to consider a universal remote control to consolidate multiple controls.

      The Logitech Harmony series is quiet popular among Sonos and HPC users with multiple remotes, playback sources, AVR settings etc.
