Setting volume control from sky+ HD remote to Sony Bravia

[skilling5832]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the volume control of a Sony KD48A9 Bravia 4K UR3 television with a Sky +HD Rev 10 controller. The procedure given on the sky.com website doesn't work for me, that failed procedure is.

The Sony TV is attached to a sony sound bar HT-X8500. Don't know if that has any impact.

• Press TV on your Sky Remote
• Hold down select and the red button at the same time until the red light at the top of your Sky remote flashes twice.
• Enter the code 1579 and press select

Can anyone help me?

As a test, disconnect the soundbar, and then try the Sky recipe again.

This will either reveal the soundbar as the issue, or exonerate it.

Personally, I think it will exonerate it, but I don’t want to prejudge what this simple test will show.

What were the selection criteria for using 1579? Is this a generic Sky code for all Sony TVs, or is it more specific than that?
