Hi all. New to Bose.

My wife found this soundbar for our anniversary and it was a great deal at Costco, new, for $179. We wanted to get a simple sound bar so it wasn't massive on the mantle, easy to mount, had good sound because the TV's speakers (LG LB5200 65", 2014 model) are on the back and the audio goes up the walls and into the loft upstairs.

Well we plugged in and it already sounds better so we are happy with the sound! We disabled audio from the TV and we have it plugged in via Coaxial as the LG LB5200 does not have an Optical Audio.

As soon as we got it working, the first thing we realized is "oh god, another remote, and this is tiny. We are going to lose this thing in 48 hours." So I started searching, how can I use my current TV remote to control the audio of the Bose Soundbar? I came across this article which I soon realized was for the "Bose TV Speaker" product, not the soundbar.

Are there any recommendations on how to control the volume of this soundbar without having a third remote lying around? For reference, we only use the original LG TV Remote to manage inputs and local channels, and the Roku Ultra remote for Roku related things. (I did check and Roku Remote cannot control other devices like soundbars).

For now, I'm considering taping this to the back of the LG TV remote just so it doesn't get lost.

Literally, the programming manual isn't anywhere, and anywhere that talks about it just says to refer to the programming manual??? Help.
