Pair Sonys soundbar to slimline 1 remote

[Karlad]

I have a Samsung UN58U7000F tv and a Sanyo FWSB415E A sound bar.  I have it hooked up from sound bar to tv via optical cable (no hdmi on the sound bar), have the tv sound setting set to optical and everything works great.  Can I pair the sound bar to my slimline 1 remote to control the volume?

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out — we’re happy to help.

Great to hear everything is working well with your setup! While your Slimline 1 remote is designed to control both your TELUS digital box and your TV, it doesn't have the capability to directly control external audio devices like your Sanyo sound bar, especially over an optical connection.

Thanks, I had it working on the remote with another set up throught optical cable previously. Would it work through the slide line 2 remote, or should I just get a universal remote to run tells and the new soundbsr?

If you're looking for more seamless control (like power, volume, and input switching), a universal remote could definitely be a more reliable solution to control both your TELUS box and your soundbar together.
