Sony PS3 3D Display remote question

QueBert · 02-21-2013, 08:52 PM

Googling this it looks like Sony's PS3 Media remote works to turn this display on/off and control the volume. My neighbors son has the display but not the remote. I was going to set up and give them a Harmony 880 I have laying around. But I cannot figure out how to get it set up to control it. I don't have access to a PS3 remote to use the IR learning. And in the Harmony software there doesn't seem to be a profile for this.

Outside of buying the PS3 remote and doing the IR thing is there any way I can get this working? Sony has basically zero info on what works remote wise with this display so I don't even know what else to try.

Did you get the harmony adapter for PS3?

directions to pair harmony remote to the adapter
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/...2,4,5/cl/us,en

logitech uses IR, which the PS3 doesn't, thus the adapter is required to convert IR to bluetooth (The PS3 remote probably uses bluetooth?).

I remember it being pretty simple to setup.

I don't know if you want to spend ~$50 buying one for them though, considering a ps3 remote is usually $25?

No no, he doesn't have a PS3, I think they have an Xbox (original) hooked to it. The display should be IR. I could just buy the PS3 remote and use the Harmony learning, but I'd never touch the remote again so that's wasted money. I'm thinking there should be a way to do this, but I can't find any info on this display.

you could always buy a cheapy sony tv remote to do the pairing (RM EZ4 should work @ ~$11 new, $6 used).
