Solo 5 compatible?
Can I use with Solo 5 soundbar? My old universal remote is great, TV, blue ray, apple tv only with this remote and no problem, but I'd like backlight all buttons. Is the new BOSE Soundbar Universal Remote compatible with Bose Solo 5 or only with 700 and 500 soundbars?

I got it work!
After reading all the bad reviews I thought this was a bad product. It didn't work for me also, only the sound bar tv power. Decided to sit down with it and against all odds I got to work for my tv and Playstation. The online help is poor at best. It was of no help to me. This remote should be this hard to set up. But if you can get it working it works great. Also wish the app screen could be displayed on the tv.

Bose designers failed
The folks who designed this clearly failed to watch people of all generations use this. The lighted keys are nice but the back lights are on for microseconds. Or you need to shake it and read it concurrently. I looked for a setting to increase the time that they are backlit. Nope. The buttons don’t give a lot of tactile feedback like other remotes. And you have to learn some new icons. Wish they could provide this capability over a Smartphone app. Why not add an IR transmitter to the sound bar so it could operate Bluetooth from remote to sound bar, then IR from sound bar to TV and cable box

An Insult to the Word Universal Remote - Painfull
Been a Bose User and Fan for over 20+ Years, this remote is an insult to the word Universal Remote and to the Bose Name
Purchased the 700 Soundbar system and this remote came with it, Why would you design a Remote thats bulky, heavy and absolutely useless, the Apple TV's remote does a phenomenal job as compared to this remote, it does injustice to your still a good product the Soundbar 700
Is Innovation dead at Bose, have you stopped testing your products before you release them to market ?
Do yourselves a favor and dump this remote and build one as sleek as the Apple Remote with a touch interface, no wonder everyone is eating into your market while you continue to become complacent

It works pretty well
It's just an absolute pain to set up, useful when you get it there though.

Doesn’t work very well
I can’t get this remote to control my cable box even though the last model of their universal remote did. I bought a new Samsung TV and this remote only controls some functions but not others, you can scroll right through the inputs menu but not left. It will not activate the play function on my 4K Samsung Blu-ray player. Despite the groovy lights, it’s not as good as their last universal remote.

Looks good, lack of information to use it
I had several issues overall however with remote, it is very difficult to find information to troubleshoot this device or even worst you don't have information to configure your device and this is not a cheap product, I hope they read and understand the difficulties users writing here are having.
