LG TV connected to Samsung soundbar via bluetooth - can I use the TV remote to control volume?

[sdadams89]

If I connect an LG TV (LG 55UK6470PLC) to a Samsung sound bar (Samsung HW-M360) via Bluetooth, will I be able to change the TV volume using the LG TV remote, or will I have to use the sound bar remote? I'm hoping to cut down on my remotes and it would be great if I could turn on the TV and change the volume all using just one remote.

Also, is mixing manufacturers (Samsung and LG) likely to cause extra hassle, such as having to manually connect to the sound bar each time I want to watch TV, or would you foresee any other issues with this setup?

I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me out with this, as I want to check before I buy and I can't find a clear answer anywhere online. Thanks so much!

You need to use the soundbar remote, to use the TV remote you would need to use an HDMI soundbar with ARC connections.
