Customers Say
The PS5 Media Remote is easy to set up, simplifies media navigation, and prolongs controller battery life. However, battery life is short and some find the build quality lacking.

Great quality
I bought this like 4 mouths or longer ago and it’s never let me down

Great stuff all round
Purchased this due to the frustration with the controller for the ps5 being sensitive every time someone goes near it and it ends up rewinding or fast forwarding. For this reason I opted for this remote and it fits all my needs perfectly ~ it's simple to set up the device and it works flawlessly. Highly recommended for media enthusiasts

Great remote for playing dvd and bluray.
Bought this as it was a bit of a faff using normal controller for watching dvd and bluray thru ps5...but this is so much easier now...easy to pair with ps5...and control volume and other functions to playback on ps5.

Media remote
Bought a week ago works fine easy to setup
Ps5 controller
Great addition to PS5
The remote is really fit for purpose, makes the navigation over controller really easy. It is very easy to set it up with PS5 pro. It fits the hands and it doesn’t hurt the wrist. It is easy to go through netflix or youtube as well. The button are easy to press on and scroll.

How can you mistake a water jug for a remote?
I’m sure the product was fine but Argos sent a brita filter instead. They are not even remotely similar…

Great for playing media and movies.

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,

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
