To register a new LG magic remote, follow the steps below: 1. **Insert batteries**: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the provided batteries. Make sure to correctly align the positive and negative ends. 2. **Turn on the TV**: Press the power button on the TV or use the existing remote to turn on the television. 3.
I register a new remote, and press the volume + button, which is registered within the app.
Then it asks me to press the volume + button 3 times, which is registered within the app.
Then it asks me to press the volume - button 3 times, which is registered within the app.
Then it asks me to press the mute button 3 times, which the SONOS PLAYBAR will not recognize no matter what I do.
The remote that came with my television is slightly different than the one pictured in the tutorial I linked above, and it s also worth noting that pressing the mute button three times on this remote calls up a quick access menu on the television.

LG Magic Remote fails to register in SONOS app
I recently upgraded my television to a newer model and so far everything has been pretty good!
I did unfortunately learn that the PLAYBAR does not support DTS which is unfortunate, but it still sounds great!
What isn't so great, is despite following the instructions in the LG magic remote setup page, I am unable to register the magic remote with the SONOS app on my iPhone!

Then it asks me to press the mute button 3 times, which the SONOS PLAYBAR will not recognize no matter what I do.
I believe the LG Magic Remote may have been updated and the SONOS speaker has not been configured to reflect that. The remote that came with my television is slightly different than the one pictured in the tutorial I linked above, and it's also worth noting that pressing the mute button three times on this remote calls up a "quick access" menu on the television. I believe the way the button has been encoded over bluetooth may have changed?
Regardless, there is no way to skip registering the mute button, and thus I am incapable of having the SONOS finalize registration of this remote and I am forced to use my phone to alter the volume, which is a pretty big frustration.
Is this a common problem or have I missed something here?
Thanks for your help!
