Samsung solar cell one remote and Sonos radio app question

Hi, i’ve just bought a new Sonos Home Cinema System with ARC soundbar, sub gen 3 and two One SL surround and the connection is via HDMI eArc port. Very simple to setup.

I’m very impressed about the sound of this home cinema system.

I came from a very old Bose lifestyle 18 series III so… 

I’ve only one thing to ask that i don’t understand and it’s about the ability to control the soundbar volume via the Samsung remote also when i play music via Sonos Radio app or others services on my iPhone. Never tried to connect The Sonos ARC via toslink adapter but if you say that it will work this way i will try to connect via the hdmi/optical adapter in the box (i don’t care about loosing dolby atmos)

My Tv is a Frame 55” (2021) with solar cell remote that can handle volume up and down without problems (i only see + and - on tv instead of numbers).

Thanks in advance for your replies

There’s nothing wrong with your system. Once connected through (e)ARC you can only change the volume on TV-sources, because the remote is controlling your TV, that relays the commands to the soundbar. The TV can only do that when it has command of the source.

Thanks, glad to hear that. Thought something was wrong with the Sonos system.

I will use Sonos app on my iPhone for changing music volume.
