Remote codes for Sony Bravia

[Deleted User] · 20/06/06 - 10:24

Has anyone managed to get any of their Sky HD remote to work with a Sony Bravia LCD KDL-V40A12U? Or indeed any other Bravia

I've tried the 0000 code listed in the book and also the additional ones listed on screen and none seem to work properly. Anyone managed to get it to work and if so any idea which Code you used?

[Not strictly an HD question, but thought this was the best place to ask the question given its an HD Ready TV and the remote is an HD remote]

0000 normally works for all Sony sets. How did you enter the code?

[Deleted User] · 20/06/06 - 10:58

It is possible I messed up but I tried it twice (following instructions in Sky HD guide). Might try it again tonight when I get home..

The correct sequence is press tv, press and hold select and red until the led flashes twice,press tv, press 0000, press select. If you have the three digit code for your specific model, miss out the second press of tv.

I've got a Sony KDL-W40A12U Bravia. When the remote is set up for the Sony TV should it be able to switch the TV directly to the HDMI input? Currently I have to use the Sky remote to turn the HD box on and then Sony remote to flick through the AVs to get to HDMI to see the picture. The Sky installers said it could be done but they don't know how! - any ideas?

I have the KDL-W40 and as far as I know it isn't possible to go directly to HDMI. You can use the TV button followed by the Help button to go to the next input (just like using the next input button on the original Sony remote). I've now bought a Harmony 885 Remote (from Logitech) which you can program to operate all your AV equipment. That does have a database of codes which allow the Harmony remote to activate the HDMI input with one button (the InputVideo5 command), but I'm not sure if the code information is published anywhere or if the Sky Remote could be programmed to issue it if it was.

Another Sony Bravia 40V here. Will be getting HD installed on Friday 23rd. Has anybody got their £100 cashback from Sky on the HD and Sony Bravia sales deal?

[Deleted User] · 20/06/06 - 12:58

Thanks for the quick replies - much appreciated.

No. Hdmi does not have the ability to autoswitch like scart does which is a shame. Ive have heard rumours though that it does but no tv set actaully uses the ability let.

My Panasonic TX32 LXD500 autoswitches HDMI. It's an option in the setup

Yes, you can access HDMI as follows:
1 Press TV
2 Press HELP

voilla

3 Dont forget to select SKY again

Incidentally, is it possible to shift the picture to the right? Ever since having HD installed the 4:3 pictures have a wider black band on the left than on the right. Cant find anyway of doing it in the menu.............

I don't think that there's a lot in it, but the installer left in on 720p, and it probably is slightly better.

Once your Sky Hd remote is set to operate your Tv correctly press Tv, Select and Help, Help (wait a couple of secs and see which Av appears on the screen - if correct press Select, if not press Help again and wait again. There are 18 different Av macros).

Once you have sorted the correct code and pressed Select to store it, do the following: Press Tv, Select and Green, Help, Select.

When you press Sky, Tv Guide, Box Office, Services, or Interactive the Tv will automatically switch to your Hdmi Av channel.

The Bravia's correct Av is about the 3rd or 4th macro.

Doesn't work on my LG 37LC2 TV! :mad:
All that happens if I press "help" any number of times is that the input selection menu pops up, with the current source highlighted, and I still have to then manually scroll to the one I want.
Anyone found a way with an LG set?

[Deleted User] · 22/06/06 - 23:08

Yeah - get a Sony! (sorry that wasn't very helpful was it?)

It's being installed start of July.

Hi Elliott,

Just tried it on a Bravia, works great

How did you manage to find this out?.

BTW, if you're interested, it appears to be just sending two Sony commands, the first is a direct AVI select code to the TV - the device code is 01 (normal for TV), and the command codes are:

AV1 - 064
AV2 - 065
AV3 - 066
AV4 - 071
AV5 - 072
AV6 - 073

Depending which AV you need (AV6 was HDMI on the KDL-S40A12U I was using).

These commands aren't available from the normal Sony remotes, only sequential AV access is (which is 01-037).

The second instruction is 12-016, the device ID (12) is usually a code for "Effect's", no idea what the command is for?.

Guys, does this mean that everytime you press TV guide, a signal will be sent to the TV causing any potential 'pauses' on the TV screen? Sounds great and I'm keen, but would not like to do something that's irreversible. Thanks and much appreciated.

You don't even notice it, it's perfectly normal - the original Sky remote do the same as well. It's also reversible as well.

[Deleted User] · 23/06/06 - 16:45

Thanks Nigel. What's the instruction for 'reversing' it to the default setting? Thanks!

Hey there!
