LG magic remote not connecting to Playbar

I have read pretty much all the remedies on the forum on how to link the lg magic remote to the playbar via the optical output, but nothing works. I have been in touch with the SONOS help line and they have been through the procedure with me, but in the end admitted defeat and said I should speak to LG. I have tried resetting the remote for Philips, Bose and several other manufacturers. I have got to the point where I think I should get a new remote - or a new sound bar- but wondered if there were any suggestions as to what remote to buy. At the moment I have to control the sound through the Sonos app.

Yes, the ‘Sonos’ entry whilst searching is cAsE SeNsiTivE - I’m surprised they’ve never fixed that in WebOS. Glad you have sorted it @Bootneck41.👍

BRILLIANT Ken. Working at last. I couldn’t find Sonos because I didn’t start it with a capital S.

Thanks a million for the screen shots which really helped.

Regards

Rob

Ken do you know if 2 remotes will work, skyQ one works ok, but lg magic remote just changes display on tv +/- but playbar volume doesn’t change.
