I have a Sony KD-43X80K that came with a TX900U remote control.
For audio we use a Bose Solo TV sound system linked by optical TOSlink to the television.
Is it possible to setup the Sony remote so that it can power on/off and adjust volume of the Bose sound system?

Just got a 55" x900h and I absolutely love it! My only gripe is that i have to use the separate bose remote to control the volume. I hate having so many remotes around, especially since the sony Bluetooth remote is much better than the bose infared remote. I want to control the volume via the sony remote so I can retire the bose remote from my coffee table.
The Bose Soundbar does not support HDMI ARC however, so that's my major hurdle. I've looked at audio extractors/converters for HDMI ARC to Optical, but I'm still not sure that is what I need. Something about CEC passthrough being necessary for remote control? I really don't know. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a quick, cheap fix (preferably an Amazon link haha). If the cost is more than $50 I'm not interested. I can just buy a nice universal remote for a little more. Or just live with two remotes and get over my first world problem haha.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
As titled, I have the Bose TV speaker connected to my samsung TV by optical. I switched my audio output to optical and sound comes out of the sound bar but I can't control the volume using Samsung remote. When I try to change the volume using Samsung remote, I just see optical message come up with no change to volume.
Help!!
