Good Day & Welcome to the Bell Community Forum.
This is a very common setup issue with most new TV's today. With the expansion of TV models & the vast array of new features that accompany Smart TVs & their peripherals, you will encounter this problem.
Many of the popular TV manufactures have expanded their list of remote codes that they are using. Your remote control is not paired properly with your new Sony Bravia X A95L TV. It needs to be programmed with the correct Sony remote code.
Before you start, you need to obtain the correct remote-control code for Sony Bravia TV. The model number you have provided is either incorrect or incomplete. The model number may be found on a sticker on the back, on the front lower portion of the frame, or in the System Information menu. You can also check the cover of your TV manual or purchase receipt for the model number. Model number example: KDL-65HX729
Once you have the correct model number for your TV, please enter this information into the following web link. This will provide you with the correct remote control code for your Sony TV. Remote Control Codes & Programming
To begin with, you will need to reset your Slim remote control to factory settings.
Note: the remote will no longer control the TV and audio devices you have programmed.
- On your remote, press and hold the Options button for 3 seconds, until the green light flashes twice.
- Within 10 seconds, enter 0000.
- Press Select.
- The green light will blink twice to confirm the commands have been successfully cleared.
Now that the remote has been reset to factory settings, the next steps will guide you through programming the remote using the appropriate code.
- Press and hold the OPTIONS button for 3 seconds until the TV light flashes twice.
- Enter the 4-digit code from the previous step using your remote. You must enter the code within 10 seconds. If correct, the TV light flashes twice. If incorrect, it lights up for 2 seconds.
- Press and hold the POWER button.
- Once your TV turns off, release the POWER button and press SELECT. The TV light will flash twice to confirm it has been successfully programmed.
- Test the TV commands (volume, power).
Note: if the TV commands are still not working, you may need to repeat the steps above using another code. If no other Sony codes that are available work, you will need to contact Sony tech support to obtain assistance.
