Sonos PLAYBAR Owner's Manual

SONOS PLAYBAR

27

After you disable your TV speakers, your television might display an annoying or confusing message whenever you adjust the 
volume on the PLAYBAR. This could be a message reminding you that your TV speakers are off, or a volume indicator 
unrelated to the sound from your PLAYBAR. Try the steps below to configure your universal remote so this message no longer 
appears when you increase or decrease the PLAYBAR’s volume. 

If you do not own a universal remote, Sonos recommends you purchase a Logitech® Harmony® remote. 

If this remote is a new purchase, you will first need to set up a Logitech user account and install the Harmony Remote 
software. Then follow the steps below to add the PLAYBAR as a new device.

Use the USB cable provided by Logitech to connect your Harmony remote to your computer.

Launch the Logitech Harmony Remote software or go to www.logitech.com\myharmony and login to your account. 
(Where you are directed depends on the Logitech universal remote model you purchased.)

Select the Add Device setting. 

Choose one of the following options:

• If you are using Logitech Harmony Remote software: 

• Select SONOS as the manufacturer, and enter PLAYBAR as the model name/number. If the SONOS PLAYBAR is not 

in their database, you will be asked to add it.

• Confirm that you've entered the information correctly, and then save your changes.

• If you are using My Harmony Web site:

• Type SONOS as the manufacturer and PLAYBAR as the model name. If the SONOS PLAYBAR is not in their database, 

you will be asked to confirm your entry or make another choice. 

• Confirm that you've entered the information correctly, and then save your changes.

Please follow the instructions on page 26, “Eliminating annoying messages on your TV when using a cable, satellite, or set 
top box remote”. 

During the setup process you are prompted to turn off your TV speakers so the sound comes only through the PLAYBAR. 
While Sonos cannot provide instructions for every television model, please try the steps below. 

If you cannot find the correct setting to turn off your TV speakers, please consult the owner’s guide that was packaged with 
your television.

Select the Menu or Setup button on your television’s remote control (not your cable remote control). 

An on-screen menu will appear.

Note: If this remote is a new purchase, you will need to set up a Logitech user account and 
install the Harmony Remote software before proceeding.
