    It works on my old Sony tv. But, it did not come with clear instructions on how to use it for many things it should do.

    When I purchased it, I thought it included voice command. In my case, I’m going to return it, since it does not include voice activation of your TV.

    One of the reasons I bought his remote was for the channel number pad. The new Sony TV remotes do not have a number pad to enter TV channels directly. While this remote has the numbers, it lacks the dot "." or dash "-" needed for digital stations. (for example, going to channel 4.1 or 5.3) I will be returning this remote.
