You just saved me a lot of money. I have an infrared learning remote and I wanted to use it with my new Bravia 9. I didn't realise that the Sony remote was bluetooth enabled and wondered why I couldn't capture the codes to my learning remote. Now, I've unpaired the sony remote and copied the IR codes. You're a gentleman and a scholar! Thanks so much!!!
Wow, this is the most useful advice from all UA-cam videos. I tried it all tips in UA-cam but no hope on my suddenly not working remote and then I found your VDO and just reset the remote and everything back to normal. Thank you so much
Thank you! After about an hr on the phone with insignia support and no help, I just had to manually turn off the TV.. now my new remote works! Thnx again!
Thank you so much for your remote fix. It's been days I've been trying to find a way to get my remote to work. My Sony is the one button kind and it's of no use if you don't have a remote. This is a design flaw I believe because the button options don't have arrow keys to help you navigate. Thanks again and more power to your channel!
wow. I have this problem. my remote is unable to control my sony 2023 TV with google tv because is asking to select the language and because the remote is not working, I'm unable to setup the tv. what a terrible design!
how you fix it? my tv power on with the only power button in the bottom but I'm unable to navigate... there is no more buttons on the tv and the original remote bluetooth is not working. it's super weird! I was a Sony fan but not anymore. I hate this design!
just want to share. you are right, you are unable to navigate because the remote is not working. connect an usb keyboard and you will be able to navigate and add the remote again!!
Some but not all buttons stopped working. Re-pairing the remote with the instructions in this video fixed the problem. Excellent info, well presented, many thanks!
I just got my brand new A80J and after the first update it ran the app/option buttons on the remote no longer worked. This fixed it no problems... thanks a lot!

Thank you! It actually works. Suddenly the remote won't working, just the power button is working. Then I search for the solution and I found this. Really helped the issue. ❤️

Thank you for this video. I have a Sony 85X900F. I have followed your directions and it worked. My remote reset to BT. However, after the TV is shutdown, it goes back to IR when restarted. I tried dozens of times after rebooting the TV and resetting the remote. I did discover that if I press down volume button along with Google assistant button WITHOUT ENTERING SETTINGS, UNPAIRING. In other words; while watching TV. It takes seconds, but I have to do this every time.
great video, very smart. Do you know if 2021 remotes can work with a 2020 remote properly? I was able to pair a x800j remote to my A8h and works well via infrared but once its connected via bluetooth it loses some functionality like input button, dedicated streaming buttons, etc...
I think the Bluetooth functionality may need to be the same year of remote. I have definitely had different year remotes fail to pair. The infra red side works with most Sony TVs from several years ago as the codes rarely change.
Lee, did a factory reset on my 65X850D to try to get my remote to work again. Ordered a replacement remote and both remotes will not control the TV. Stuck on the WELCOME screen with no way to select language and set up the TV. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Did anyone find a fix for this? My remote stopped working so I did a factory reset on the TV using the buttons on the back of the TV and now it's stuck on select language screen and won't let me select with remote or the buttons on the TV. Any fix for this?

@@leepspvideo Hello again. Do you know if the TV can be turned on without having to point it at the X85K? Because I read that the power button is infrared and you need to point it at the TV to turn it on.

So I have a 2021 model which is broke but I LOVE the remote. Which is the one you are holding in your hand. I bought a new model which came with 2 remotes for some bizarre reason. I would like to connect the 2021 remote to the new TV via Bluetooth so I can have the mic etc. Is that possible?
My local stores hide all the remotes. If I tried unplugging a set they'd call the security guard who is large and intimidating. I miss putting Samsung sets into hotel mode or inserting rude startup messages.
Thanks for the video. I tried as you described, resetting to Bluetooth mode. The voice feature has always worked but we must aim the remote at the tv, so it seems as if it is in IR mode by default all the time. I’m so confused and I know it’s such a small problem, but it’s annoying and I want to fix it! Any suggestions?
Hello, had a slight issue with the remote so did a factory reset on the TV now im stuck on the welcome screen without being able to push ok to select English becuase the remote doesn't work... brought a new remote Still not able.. I have the sony bravia KD-55XF9005 THANKS
Hello, thanks for getting back to me, there is 3 buttons on the left back side volume up and down and the power button, unfortunately there isnt actually a ok button to get me past the language screen also the no remote working isn't helping.. not to sure what to do
@@leepspvideo thanks for getting back to me, the 3 buttons on the back are the volume buttons as well as the power button there are no other buttons on the tv so I have no way of selecting the language on the welcome screen after I did a factory reset. I've tried over 5 remotes to try to click OK to be able to get back in to my tv
Thanks for the great tips. I own a sony XH95 which comes with a RMF-TX500E remote, I have seen that the new 2021 TVs come with the SONY RMF-TX621E which is identical except for the additional shortcut buttons to UA-cam, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, all of which I subscribe to. I am wondering if I purchase a sony 2021 remote (SONY RMF-TX621E) and paired it with my XH95 would I get the full functionality? The XH95 remote (RMF-TX500E) has only two short cuts which are Google Play and Netflix, so Netflix is the only app I could confidently imagine would work when paired. Have you ever tried using a 2021 remote on a 2020 TV? Do you think it would work?
hi! I have a bravia TV remote like you, it's used to work with my android box connected to my TV in HDMI, I've updated the firmware of my android box and now it' s not working anymore, what is the needed component apk or Parameter to make it work on android? I've tried to pair it in bluetooth but it doesn't work, any clue?
@@leepspvideo How do you do this? It has to be done already on my android tv side, I reverted the firmware android box to old firmware, it's working with it, I've then put back the new firmware, so what is missing? HDMI CEC, where is it in android 12? need to be sure
for the kd-55xf9005 model it is not valid, I know this because the ir sensor in the tv was faulty and only the mic button was working. So via Bluetooth only that button works, the rest of the buttons go via infrared. Now I changed the ir sensor in the TV and the TV works fine
Hi, i have a question :) the power button is IR it has to face the TV to turn it ON and Off. Is there a way where I don't have to face the remote to the TV to turn it ON and OFF? ONLY power button is IR rest is Bluetooth. It is annoying to face the remote everytime to the TV to turn it ON OFF :(
The power button does not appear to be controlled by Bluetooth. Also, from the Settings menu there is no option to disable IR for power on/off afaik. It may be possible to change the IR code the remote broadcasts to the tv to another code that the tv might accept to prevent you from turning on another Sony tv in the room, but that requires some experimentation. Your main reason for doing this is to deconflict the remote.
Question. I paired my remote via bluetooth and it mostly works, however not all the buttons work (mainly the specific app buttons do not work). When I put it back into IR mode these buttons work. Any ideas? Thanks.
@@leepspvideo after some more research yesterday I think you're onto something. The TV was a demo open box unit from Best Buy. I think they gave me another Sony Bravia remote. It works well enough but I did some research and this is not the model remote that comes with my TV.
It’s not a Bluetooth remote so it doesn’t have a reset option. Just leave the batteries out for 10 minutes then replace with new alkaline batteries. If that doesn’t work you probably have a faulty remote

Did you manage to find a fix? Did the ir sensor in the TV need changing or is there a way to pair the remote via Bluetooth from the select language screen?
I have un-paired by mistake my remote control on the Bluetooth. Since then I'm not able to connect to the TV via infrared, nor use Bluetooth. Any tips please? This is very frustrating. Thank u
@@leepspvideo I did all these step, and at last the factory reset... I'm unable to move forward as I have to select the language with the remote which doesn't work. Also keypad at the back won't let me choose language for setting
@@belkhirmokdad102 try resetting the remote again it should the work as an infra red keyboard if it doesn’t after all these steps I think you may have a faulty remote.
My remote works now e.g.i.e. meaning it changes channels and functions, only it keeps telling me that the remote is not paired tondo any acoustic calibration, and doing the volume down + google voice is not working.....
wow. I found a solution for a 2023 Sony Google TV where remote stops working and after TV reset, we are unable to setup the TV because it's on the language screen and the remote is just not working. Solution: connect an usb keyboard and navigate to the menus, go to bluetooth and reconfigure the remote. follow on screen instructions, fixed in 30 seconds!
Why is it, that when connected via bluetooth, all the buttons work EXCEPT the power button!! I like that I don't have to point the remote at the tv for it to work, but I have to point it at the tv in order to turn it on or off! Very annoying, as I have a sound bar in front, therefore blocking the IR sensor so thats why I want it via bluetooth! any ideas?
So I did the factory reset but when the setup comes on screen (language selection) the remote will not respond and I cannot move further past this. I called Sony support and they just said, "sorry, nothing more we can do. Try Geek Squad". I even bought a new replacement remote and it still won't work. TV is 1.5 years old.
You need exactly the right remote for your year of TV. Is it the one that came supplied? Other comments have mentioned the Bluetooth module in the TV. You can always use an infra red remote (not for voice)
@@leepspvideo MY IR receiver on the TV died. That is why it did not work with the remote. Had to turn on BT in settings via wired USB keyboard to do so.
if you do, please could you let us know how? some buttons on the remote have gotten stuck/get stuck when pressed. do we need to open it to try to fix it?

Remote is in IR mode but it’s not registering with the TV… been at this for days feel like I’ve tried everything can you help?
Others have mentioned in the comments the infra red receiver on the TV can fail
I have the same problem remote control doesn't work after I make unpair Bluetooth in setting in tv by mistake and now remote control doesn't work ....any advice??
Did you manage to find a fix? Did the ir sensor in the TV need changing or is there a way to pair the remote via Bluetooth from the select language screen?
Thank you
I have un-paired by mistake my remote control on the Bluetooth. Since then I'm not able to connect to the TV via infrared, nor use Bluetooth. Any tips please? This is very frustrating.
Thank u
First I would take the batteries out for 5 minutes replace with new alkaline batteries. If that doesn’t let you pair the tv may need factory resetting
@@leepspvideo Thank you, I'll give it a try and let you know.
@@leepspvideo I did all these step, and at last the factory reset... I'm unable to move forward as I have to select the language with the remote which doesn't work. Also keypad at the back won't let me choose language for setting
@@belkhirmokdad102 try resetting the remote again it should the work as an infra red keyboard if it doesn’t after all these steps I think you may have a faulty remote.
@@leepspvideo I'm having the same issue and have tried 2 different remotes. Any feedback?
My remote won't even stay connected long enough for me to get to the settings 😡 should've bought a samsung
THIS WON’T WORK and my remote won’t work even though the battery is correct and new
How to connect this same remote to Bose sound bar? All of a sudden volume to our audio system (Bose sound bar) stopped working all of a sudden
The soundbar should be connected to the tv with HDMi. Use the ARC labelled HDMi on the TV
@@leepspvideo 😊
My remote works now e.g.i.e. meaning it changes channels and functions, only it keeps telling me that the remote is not paired tondo any acoustic calibration, and doing the volume down + google voice is not working.....
wow. I found a solution for a 2023 Sony Google TV where remote stops working and after TV reset, we are unable to setup the TV because it's on the language screen and the remote is just not working. Solution: connect an usb keyboard and navigate to the menus, go to bluetooth and reconfigure the remote. follow on screen instructions, fixed in 30 seconds!
Great Thank you!!!
Why is it, that when connected via bluetooth, all the buttons work EXCEPT the power button!! I like that I don't have to point the remote at the tv for it to work, but I have to point it at the tv in order to turn it on or off! Very annoying, as I have a sound bar in front, therefore blocking the IR sensor so thats why I want it via bluetooth! any ideas?
Does your power button work if the or sensor isn’t blocked?
Worked perfectly! Thanks:)
Great vid!! Awesome!!
how can i open the back of the remote? is it possible?
I haven’t tried. Someone on UA-cam must have
Sony bravia original remote we lost......how to use/set a new/fresh remote?
If you get the same original Sony it will work straight away.
So I did the factory reset but when the setup comes on screen (language selection) the remote will not respond and I cannot move further past this. I called Sony support and they just said, "sorry, nothing more we can do. Try Geek Squad". I even bought a new replacement remote and it still won't work. TV is 1.5 years old.
You need exactly the right remote for your year of TV. Is it the one that came supplied? Other comments have mentioned the Bluetooth module in the TV.
You can always use an infra red remote (not for voice)
@@leepspvideo MY IR receiver on the TV died. That is why it did not work with the remote. Had to turn on BT in settings via wired USB keyboard to do so.
Same problem ....can you find solution ???
My Sony remote isn't pairing as well as activation is getting unsuccessful, need help regarding that
TV Model x7500e

May power button gets stuck when turning on or off what do i do.
The rubber membrane is possibly worn out. Might need to take it apart and check
