    my remote to my Sony TV was not working so I put this as a replacement. It didn’t work so hot so I had to go online and find an identical Sony remote and that would work the way it should.

    My wife ordered the for our Sony OLED TV when the remote was lost in the move. This remote never synced correctly with the TV and we could never reach the menus or access many of this TVs features. We ended up having to get an OEM Sony remote, which ended up costing less than half of what this remote cost.

    I was told by your sales person that it would automatically attach to any Sony TV. That was not the case. I had a tech person come in and try to hook it up and he couldn’t get it hooked up and said it was not compatible to Netflix or Comcast.

      Most Sony TVs should work out of the box, if a function is missing, all details to find that Menu Function is mentioned in the Manual, most of the time it would take 10 seconds to find the right Manu function via the search function, please follow up the manual guides. BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    This simply does not work with the Sony A80L. I can't even turn the set on and off. Other reviewers indicate it works with older sets, so maybe Insignia has not updated this model.
