LG 49SK80 & Magic remote won’t pair with Sonos Beam

I’m trying to set up the Sonos Beam with my parents new TV (LG 49SK80), the Beam works, but we can not control the volume with the Magic remote. When I try to pair it, Sonos is not even listed as a manufacturer

I finally figured it out!! I was using the optical connector as I missed the HDMI ARC port on the side of the TV, once I switched the cable and followed the instructions from the first post it works great! - thank you for your help Ken!

Hi Ken_Griffiths - thank you, I tried that several times, SONOS is not a listed manufacturer, so I tried selecting several others and even selecting various remotes (1-6) nothing worked 😞
