Hello, I made the mistake of buying a Sony HT-XT1 soundbar without an IR remote. Although there is an Android compatible app for bluetooth, it doesn't expose all of the features. It also resets the bluetooth prefs after a few hours. Harmony has a device for it, but it only has basic features like vol +/-.
You are my only hope!
1. Device: Sony HT-XT1
2. Type of device: Sound Bar
3. Year: 2015?
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: URC8910
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Yes
6. Still have original remote? No
7. Checked the file section? Yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? No
10. Learning remote question? n/a
11. Have you tried the JP1 Lookup Tool? Yes
As always, thanks for this site and your great help! |

It's been almost a year, but I thought I'd better post an update...
I tried all the Sony protocols but the best I could do was get the volume control to work. No power and no menu buttons (what I really needed).
Last month I finally knuckled under and paid the $60 for an OEM remote. To my surprise, it failed in exactly the same way!
Turns out that this display unit I had purchased from Best Buy was left in a "Demo" mode. So for the past year when I have chosen my required source, it would quietly revert back to "Bluetooth" after a few minutes of silence (maddening). For some damn reason Sony doesn't see fit to mention in their manuals that there might be a demo mode or how to get out of it :-/
Thankfully, typical approaches for disabling demo mode on Sony TVs also worked for this device. I only had to hold down the power button on the device for 20 or so seconds and the device started acting as it should - thank heavens.
All the remote buttons now work. So, it turns out that a generic Sony protocol works just fine with this class of device. At least Sony hasn't broken that tradition. |

That's good news, hopefully you can return the OEM remote and get your money back. _________________ Rob
