will fios remote control change (control) the volume on a JBL soundbar?

I want to buy a soundbar for my TV, but I want to contol the soundbar volume with the FIOS remote control. I am considering buying the JBL BarStudio soundbar that is advertised on Verizons accessory site: https://www.verizon.com/home/accessories/jbl-bar-studio/

I have:

FIOS remote control VZP265v5 RC

STB Motorola QIP700 / 6386 / 010

TV Samsung UN3M5300AF

The JBL soundbar advertises that the volume works with "most TV remotes" but I want to confirm it works with the Verizon FIOS remote. I dont want multiple remotes. Does anyone have any experience? Thank you for your help.

No. That remote only controls the TV and Set-top box. You will have to use the soundbar remote to control volume. If you want a universal remote. Logitech has remotes under $50

It will control a Receiver for home theater.

Go to Menu > Settings > Voice Control > Fios Voice Remote > Program Voice Remote > Manual Setup.

Not in the original poster's case. You need FiOS TV One VMS4100 boxes with new bluetooth remote to control a receiver.

They have a Moto 7100 HD STB and a P265 remote. That remote is IR and only programs to a TV.
