Hi,

Is it possible to perform Bravia sync without a Sony TV?I have Samsung TV,Sony receiver and PS3.Can i sync both the receiver and PS3 so that they can use 1 remote?

Tx in advance
 
Yes, Samsung calls it Anynet but it is the same thing and the 1 remote is the TV remote. Thus you cannot use you're DVD recorder's remote to control the PS3 it must be the TV's remote and then you don't get the 15s,30s etc skip function. To control the PS3 the PS3 remote works great.

But I do have an issue with the TV (Samsung) remote to do some more advanced functions on the Sony DVD recorder but the standard functions like stop, play etc. works fine.
 
I cannot even get mine to synch, keeps telling me device connection failed :-( does it require a 1.4 HDMI cable or something?
 
Ok now thats a twist !I was referring to the receiver remote doing the Bravia sync however it would be better if the Samsung remote syncs.Any idea how to do this?I understand that it works via the HDMI connection.FYI..I connect my PS3 to TV with HDMI and then Optical from TV to receiver since only passthrough .
 
Press tools on your samsung remoter and go to Anynet configuration. It works pretty well. However I don't think you will be able to control your receiver with the remote, because it isn't connected via HDMI.
 
Ok so i setup Anynet and it works perfect with the PS3.Switching the PS3 on automatically turn the TV on with the correct input.Only snag is that since my reciever doesnt support audio over HDMI then it doesnt turn on the receiver.Is there a workaround for this?
 
I think that it is impossible to do with the way your setup is at the moment. i have virtually the same arrangement. The only possibility may be to purchase a universal remote that you can program macros into. That way you can press one button to turn on all your devices. But not really worth the effort and cost.
