Good product
Works well if your a stay at home wife and need some tv
Janes nose
Almost perfect.
Well made, nicely laid out, but buttons are way too flat flush with the remote surface. Very hard to use in the dark.
Mr S, 45 - 54, London
Does what it says on the tin.
Was in two minds to buy, but for the non gamers in the family this makes it easier to navigate around the menu. Less complaining from the family too.

Hi Bill,
No the Sony PS5 Media Remote Control is not compatible with a PS3.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Lj88,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Sony PS5 Media Remote Control: You'll need to pair your media remote to your PS5 console before you can use it:
Go to Settings > Accessories > Media Remote > Set Up Media Remote, and follow the on-screen pairing instructions.
If the automatic pairing doesn’t work, select Set Up Manually and follow on-screen instructions.
Indeed, you can adjust the volume and power settings of compatible TVs with the built-in IR transmitter1.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hi Cal,
Please query this directly with PlayStation online support: https://www.argos-support.co.uk/8340243-sony-...
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Azeem,
Providing the soundbar is connected to the monitor via ARC or the PS5 is able to control the monitor on/off status then you will be able to use the Sony PS5 Media Remote Control with it.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hello Oliver,
The Sony PS5 Media Remote Control will connect to a TV if the code of the TV is available for the remote. As long as the PS5 can connect to the TV and control it's on and off state via CEC or other HDMI controller then you will be able to use this remote.
Thanks for using Q&A.
It works with certain TVs definitely Sony ones up to 5 years old. Can’t be for sure though.
You can control certain functions like volume.
There's a chance your TV remote can control the PS5.
I've had 3 of these remotes and all had to be returned. Looking online it's a common complaint too.
The remote just randomly de-syncronises from the console and stops working.
Hello there,
This is an accessory and is purchased separately to the PS5.
I hope this helps,
Thanks for using Q&A.
You have to buy this separately it does not come in the box of the PS5
This is a separate item. It doesn't come with a PS5
Hi SHILLK,
This is not compatible with the PS4.
Thanks for using Q&A,
Nope
Hi,
I can confirm this will work on both PS5 versions.
I hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A
