Try this - worked for me

These instructions aren't quite correct - you must select Phillips as the manufacturer and make sure your sound on the tv is set to the audio out (optical/HDMI ARC) with the simplink turned off

The magic remote I have doesn't look like the one with the instructions. There is no choice on brands etc. When I click home, there also is nothing showing the symbol in the instructions.. In the settings and sound area there are choices of the optical audio, optical audio sync with tv, or use both optical and tv speakers.
Not sure which is best or even correct. When I only choose the optical I cannot control it with the remote.

Hi everyone, for the LG Magic Remote there are some extra steps before you can pair it with your player. There's an article here that'll help. Go to Universal Remote Control for your LG TV and then choose Soundbar > Manufacturer > Philips. If it gives you a prompt about a power test or a setting number, just hit yes or select the first option and move on. Once that's done, go to the Sonos app and go to More > Settings > Room Settings > Choose the room for your PLAYBAR/PLAYBASE > TV Control and Setup > Replace this remote when prompted. This should do the trick and get that LG Magic Remote paired without any problems.

You may need to set the remote to Phillips remote type 3.

I have the same problem, but get it to work. but its extremly slow to change volyme.

Hey Barrolsson, Ryan S, with your extra steps recommendation above. is the volume change at normal speed? Or isthis still the case thatit is slow?

thanks in advance guys!

Hi
I also have lg 4k 55" on an optical connection. Seeing conflicting articles on rf unit wont operate ir playbar. Tried various manufacturers and remote types under sound bar device connector but to no avail. When clicking on buttons on screen for device actions for remote type as instructed nothing happens. Tried with simlink off and on and still no joy.
Highly disappointing that a wifi operated sound system doesnt account for different remotes for the high price paid for them.
Any other suggestions or is there firmware update to correct soon as seems to be a major issue for many people?
Thanks

Dear All!
Was this solved for everyone? I followed the instruction but was not successful.
Own a 55C7V with the newest LG OS (as Feb 2017) - European version if that applies in any way

I cannot change the manufacturer to "Phillips" - cannot select any manufactuerer, because the setting is not in the LG menu.
And how should this work anyways? The remote does NOT send any IR signals - so please shed some light on that for me.

It's a pitty that there is no easy way to join Sonos and LG

nope it did nothing for me on multiple manufacturers etc. ended up using a second remote as universal.

Hey guys,
I have the LG oled55b7v TV as well and was wondering if I’d be able to hook it up to a Sonos Playbar wirelessly.
Does anyone know if that’ll work?
Much appreciated. Thanks!

You may need to set the remote to Phillips remote type 3.

Just followed your directions to pair my LG Magic Remote (new LG OLED c7) with my new Sonos Playbar. Did not need to select Remote Type 3. Instead selected Remote Type 1. Then went to my Sonos app to complete the setup. The Sonos app recognized the remote without any problems. I can depress the + or - buttons on the LG remote and hold either down to increase or decrease the volume without having to do so incrementally. Thanks for the clarification. Please revise the directions on the website to include these step-by-step directions. The directions the website are incomplete, contributing to the frustration of Sonos/LG owners.

Thanks Ryan S and CubanMama

I can confirm setting up ''soundbar'' using philips and remote type 1, removing stmlink in sound output works for me.

My setup
2017 LG C7
Optical out to Sonos playbar
TV is connect to my network via ethernet cable, while soundbar via sonos MESH network

What I did:
1.Press the top right button with STB PWR
2.Select set up soundbar
3.Select Philips as manufacturer
4.Select type 1 remote
5.exit to main menu, then select setup (the cogwheel under CH down), select all settings
6.under sound, select sound out, select "optical/HDMI'', turn off SIMPLINK. You will need to reselect optical/HDMI (not LG) again as it default to TV out
7.goto your desktop Sonos app, under home theatre (in rooms), right click and select home theatre setting, select TV settings, then remote setting. Remove and set up new remote
8.follow the instruction, basically wanting you to press volume up, then down x3 then mute
9.enjoy!

I do not have the problem some reported (slow volume change) but could be possibly due to slow Wifi environment? I think the LG magic remote maybe a wifi/BT only device.

These instructions aren't quite correct - you must select Phillips as the manufacturer and make sure your sound on the tv is set to the audio out (optical/HDMI ARC) with the simplink turned off

Reviews for "Enhance Your Clippers: The Power of a Wahl Magic Clip Battery Upgrade"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Wahl magic clip battery upgrade. After reading about the upgrade and its supposed benefits, I was expecting a significant improvement in battery life. However, the battery still barely lasted through a full haircut before dying. It was a hassle having to constantly charge the clipper in the middle of a haircut. I was really hoping for a better performance from this upgrade.

2. Lisa - 2 stars - I have been using the Wahl magic clip for years and was excited when I heard about the battery upgrade. However, I found that the battery upgrade didn't make much of a difference. The battery still drained quickly and I was left frustrated, especially during busy days at the salon. While the clipper itself performs well, the battery upgrade was underwhelming and didn't live up to its promises.

3. Michael - 1 star - The Wahl magic clip battery upgrade was a huge disappointment for me. I thought it would solve the battery issues I had with the previous version, but it actually made it worse. The battery life is abysmal, and it often dies in the middle of a haircut. I've had to resort to keeping it constantly plugged in, which defeats the purpose of having a cordless clipper. I regret spending money on this upgrade and would not recommend it to anyone.

4. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Wahl magic clip battery upgrade, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The battery life is not as extended as advertised, and I find myself having to recharge it frequently, interrupting the flow of my work. Additionally, the battery takes a long time to recharge fully, meaning I have to plan ahead and ensure it's charged before starting my day. Overall, I'm disappointed with this upgrade and wish I had saved my money.
