Remote Control Compatible with Sonos Arc, Arc SL, Beam (Gen 1), Beam (Gen 2), Ray, Amp (Gen 2), Playbase and Playbar

In spite of its cost and some customer reviews stating that it doesn’t work for them, I bought this because I was tired of having to use the Sonos app to control the volume on my TV.For reference, I use a Sonos Beam (Gen 2), a Sub-Mini, and two older Play:1s (connected as a stereo pair) for surround sound in my living room. Because the Sub-Mini and the two Play:1s are linked (through the app) to the Beam, this remote controls all of these components simultaneously.Just follow the simple steps on the Sonos app to pair this remote to the Beam, and it works like a charm. For me, that’s as follows: • Open the Sonos app • Tap “System” • Tap “Living Room” (That’s where my Beam is.) • Scroll down and tap “Remote Control Setup” • Follow the steps • Voila.The remote is extremely basic. It only has three buttons. Mute (x), Sound Up (+), and Sound Down (-). Obviously, no explanation is needed.My Sonos Beam sits on top of my fireplace mantle, so I have to hold my arm up and point it at the Beam so the remote’s IR transmitter can interact with the Beam’s IR receiver, but that’s not a big deal. If yours isn’t sitting up higher than you, you probably won’t need to do that.All in all, I don’t regret the purchase. I still think it’s priced too high, but since Sonos doesn’t offer a remote control I’m glad to have this one.Good luck!

I could not get it to synch, maybe it has to do with the new version of the app, but the remote is not currently working. I’ve tried a bunch of things and it still won’t connect.

Used the Sonos app on our phone to connect this remote control to our Sonos Playbar. Following the directions in the app, when the "Up Volume" button was pressed, the Genie remote connected to our Soundbar. The Genie remote control makes it easy to use our old Sonos Playbar (IR remote control) with our new Sony TV (RF remote control).

As others have said, this little remote does the job. It controls the volume and mutes my Sonos playbar without having to use my phone app. Cheap plastic for the price, doesn't feel like it will last for years, but if you've arrived here like I did without any other options for a Sonos remote, then I would still recommend it in spite of it's shortcomings. If Sonos themselves ever came out with a solid, simple remote they would make a killing. Until that happens, gotta settle.

The sensor doesn’t always connect with the sound bar but it’s more convenient than using the Sonos app. all the time.

Works perfect. Nothing worse than ordering a remote and it doesn't work or you have to spend 4 hours trying to pair or program. Not with this remote. Out of box it works with the speakers. Buy it.

This was working for a while but never reliably. Right now it will turn my Sonos ARC sound down, but won't turn it up or mute it. I made sure IR is turned on for the Arc (obviously is since volume down works) and also tried to go through the remote setup steps, no luck

Bought a new Sony TV last summer, but our Sonos sound system is about 6 years old. Could not get the volume on the Sony remote to work with the Sonos as the Sonos is IR and the remote is BT. This little remote solved the problem. Now we have the remote for the TV and this little, simple remote for the Sonos volume. PROBLEM SOLVED.

Feels light but good quality works with my sonos ray volume

Funktioniert perfekt

Ausgepackt, wie in Amazon beschrieben soll es ja ohne Programmierung direkt losgehen , eh null Anleitung dabei , Batterie Schutzfolie gezogen und… : nichts passiert …frustriert , nach langem testen….musste doch noch in Sonos das IR und neue Fernbedienung aktivieren… 😜 geht jetzt , aber Reichweite sehr kurz , muss immer genau zielen ….

My hubby is a not into technology and the App was a daunting prospect. This makes his life easy.

FB.funktioniert gut (Sonos_Playbar) ,Reichweite könnte besser sein
