Eliminating annoying messages on your TV when using a universal remote
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.

Turning Off Your Television's Speakers

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).
