Have you tried using a universal remote? Most can be programmed for Sony, and work very well. I use an All For One universal with my entertainment system (RCA CTC185 19" TV, digital cable box and service from Comcast, CyberHome DVD player, Panasonic VCR) and it works great with everything but the DVD. I still have to use the DVD's own remote to control the player. For some strange reason, CyberHome DVD players will not work with universal remotes--only their own. This is pointed out at some length on CyberHome's web site, in the FAQ section. Don't get me wrong; the DVD player works great with my TV and I like it a lot, but I wish it would work with my universal remote as well. Can't figure out for the life of me why CyberHome refuses to design its DVD players to work with universal remotes. Oh well...
