About this app

There are currently many generations of Sony Smart TVs manufactured in the past decade and therefore, as you probably have discovered, there are many different remote control apps available on app stores for Sony TV.

This is an “all-in-one” remote for Sony TV for controlling Sony
Smart TV models manufactured since 2011 and all Sony TV models (incl non-smart TVs) if your phone has an infrared port (IR-blaster).

Available functions
The available TV remote control functions depend on your Sony TV model and/or the connection type used.
★ You can control multiple Sony TVs and easily switch between them including TVs without WiFi (IR control).
★ If your phone has an infrared port and you use an infrared connection (no WiFi needed), then the same functions as with the TV’s physical remote are available.
★ If you use a network connection (WIFI, WI-FI Direct, LAN), available functionality differs depending on your Sony TV model. Usually you will get some additional features (e.g. touchpad and qwerty keyboard) compared to an infrared remote.

In the app you will find detailed instructions how to connect your smartphone to your TV but to save time, here are some important prerequisites for this app to work:
- your Sony TV model must have an “IP remote control” or “Control remotely” feature (most Sony smart TV models do).
- when choosing a network connection (WiFi or LAN), both devices (your smartphone and TV) must be connected to the same local home network.
- an infrared remote (IR) is available only on devices with an infrared port. These include some older Samsung phones and tablets like S4 – S6, Note 4, Tab 4 and new Huawei, Honor and Xiaomi high-end smartphones.

Please do not hesitate to contact us by email if you have any questions.
