Exactly, yes.

Hi KIM_4, I am not able to control the volume on the playbar with the samsung, as the remote does not send IR signals, so could you please explain in a bit of detail how you got the the playbar to work with your KS TV. Approciate your help.

Also I beleave the link above is only for F and H series which has an IR emitter option.......

Hi Kim_4, I just ordered a KS8000 TV and the playbar, I am also very curious about how you got the playbar to work with your KS TV, many thanks!

it wont work u have to use a remote control with IR, 'im using my old sammy remote i barely use the one provided with the KS

Sorry for reviving an old thread. But I just got a KS8000 (euro model) - and after some tweaking it was perfectly possible for me to figure out how to configure the TV remote to work Sonos.

Push home button on remote -> sources -> configure universal remote -> new device -> home cinama -> search for sonos -> choose a hdmi source as device. The logical step here would be to choose optical - but that wont work. For me the TV remote on my UE75KS8005 now works perfectly for controlling my volume.

I must say - this TV is awesome with the Sonos soundbar. It can convert audio to DD 5.1 from any other format I've tested so far.

MichaelBusse -- I have the 65" version of the KS8000 and just ordered a PlayBar & Sub. Thanks for the instructions I will follow those when I set mine up.

Did you simply have to set up DD 5.1 passthrough on the TV and follow those steps to get the remote working? Also have you tried other 5.1 sources outside of the apps on the TV? I run all of my content through a Roku Premiere+ and I'm hoping things like Netflix, Hulu, Vudu etc. will pass the 5.1 correctly to the PlayBar.

Yes - I simply configured the TV audio to use the optical port - and in expert settings i specified Dolby Digital on the TV.. And set an audio delay of about 100.

Of sources I have tried so far (have only had the TV for a day) is the Plex TV app, my HTPC, Netflix (both TV and PC app) and Youtube. All those have worked without any problem. Even when playing DTS sources from the Plex app or the PC.

I am from Denmark, though. So this is the euro model of the television. But I assume there is little difference, if any.

Thanks, appreciate it.

For the record mine worked flawlessly using the technique MichaelBusse suggested. I am able to control the volume of the Sonos using my KS8000 remote.
