Remote control no longer works

The assistant is right. It will be best to buy a new original remote control. In most cases a universal remote control won't function to all system. You can get the original one from the Autorized service center for Sony. http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/ If you wish to get more details about the set-up codes to different other universal remote control, check this link. Pull up older posts by its sidebar. Set-up code list and proceedings to many popular remote controls are given in detail. Choose one out, which has set-up codes to Sony brand TVs, and the availability.

If you whsh to get all functions operated with your TV, you must have its original remote control, and it is no doubt. No universal remote control will operate with all functions, that are supposed to be, especially to Sony Brands. You can buy the original remote control from the authorized service center for Sony, or from any authorized dealer for Sony. Then why do you go for an experiment

For mine the rca listed code 00178 almost worked (no movement during input or menu)
Code search found 01265 which works all the buttons I use.

check the following links for you answer

Since remote control is verified so next thing involved in remote operation is remote sensor located on front of tv that receives remote signals.
Remote sensor seems defective in your tv and need to be replaced to solve remote issue.
Call local tv repairman if you have no experience of soldering parts in circuit board.
Thanks.

From my searches I don't think you will find it. Try going to http://www.sony.ca/view/cic_contact.htm and asking them directly for it. I can't see them saying no.

The Sony RM-YD029 Remote control will work with the Dish Network VIP722 DVR HD Satellite Receiver, but the Dish Network VIP722's Primary remote address must be set to 1.

The procedure below will allow Sony RM-YD029 remote control to operate Dish VIP722.

Using the Dish Network Remote Control -
1. Press menu 2 times to get to system info page
2. In the system info page the primary remote address is in a white box (bubble) followed by a Green TV (1)symbol that says IR and indicates you the channel your remote control one is configured. The Sony RM-YD029 will work when this primary remote address number (in the white box) is set to 1.

If the Primary Remote Address of your VIP722 Remote control 1 is not set to channel 1, here is how to change it:

1. While displaying the system info page, press and hold the SAT button on your dish network remote until all other modes are flashing, about 3 seconds.
2. then press the '1' button on the numeric pad of your dish remote
3. then press the '#' button on the numeric pad of the dish remote
4. then press the 'record' button (red dot button - stores setting)
5. At this point you should see a number 1 in front of the primary remote address on the dish system info page

Ensure you enter the corresponding IR code into your Sony remote control per the instructions in the manual or Sony's web site. My 722 works with Sony IR code - 01775.

type in the remote you are looking for.

Try these simple trick to find out yor remote control working or not....
Point the remote control towards the Camera of a Mobile Camera phone,with the camera on. While pressing remote, we can see a light (Infra Red) coming from its IR LED through the Mobile Camera if the Remote is working.

You must press "set" button (with a pen), then press "tv" followed by the code you have and finally "enter". Regards
