Hi @davygravy. I believe it is the other way around. The UBP-X800 Remote is designed to control a TV. Sony being the default so it should work straight out of the box.

Hi @davygravy. OK I have just tried using the TV Remote to control my UBP-X800 and it works! On the TV Remote press the Action Menu then go down to the Sync Menu. Select Control selected device and then clear the Menu by using the back key twice. The TV Remote now controls all the functions of the UBP-X800. To return the Remote to operate the TV select Control TV with TV Remote Control from the Sync Menu.

Hi @davygravy. Out of interest what speakers are you using with your STR-DN1080? The only thing preventing me from buying one is I cannot find any compact speakers to replace my HT-AS5.

@davygravy. Thanks for that. I had an extra play during half time and couldn’t understand why it had stopped working. Then I discovered the bottom item on the Sync Menu had changed to Control connected device with TV remote control. So the key in the Sync Menu. No need to back out twice, simple select Home(Menu) to take you to the UBP-X800 menu. All the functions are also on the Action Menu.

A quick question, when you turn off your x-800 does your auto switch back to TV? ,Cheers
