Programming Fios remote for Vizio Soundbar
VizioSoundbar13

I just purchased a 4 button Fios remote to use for my Vizio tv (successfully programmed) and Vizio Sound Bar. No code listed for the audio Soundbar. 

I also tried AUX + OK, 9-2-2, then pressed the play button, followed by repeatedly pressing the fast fwd button to try all possible codes with no success.  How can I program my Fios remote for the Vizio Soundbar?

It may not support it.

Four button remote is an older model.

So it may not have codes for newer equipment.

Why exactly is it considered an older model? Verizon sells them as new from its accessories page. Just bought two a couple days ago so I could have my Yamaha receivers controlled. They're to arrive today and I was assuming they would have up-to-date codes. If not, they're going back for a refund.

Just as a follow up - both four-button remotes I received work with my Yamaha receivers for volume control. They do not power on or off either receiver. (However, neither does my Directv remote.) Oh and one of the remotes came with a sticker saying 5/15 and the other said 8/17. One is Revision 3 and the other is Revision 4, so that would seem to indicate they do continue to update the four-button models. And to me it's a superior remote in every fashion over the standard ones. I'm getting two more.

I was looking for pairing the verizon remote with a vizio soundbar also.  I would appreciate it if replies would be on the subject.  Pairing with a Yamaha is like someone looking for a ford mustang bumper and you reply saying you have a chevy camaro bumper.

If you want a true universal remote to control everything I would advise getting something like a logitech. The one from Verizon and comcast are cheap and sometimes don't support all equipment.
