I note this controller is older than most BluRay players. Has anyone used this to control a Sony BluRay player?

Sorry, I don't know what a BluRay player is. This control is for a Dish Network Satellite receiver.

I assume you mean, what BluRay players have Component Video outputs? You'll have to get a fairly old BluRay player to do that, as BluRay players predominantly use HDMI for output. The Samsung BD-P1000 is one of the original players that does have component video outputs. We have a BD-P1000 and it's OK. It was very reliable (haven't used it in a couple of years), but it is pretty slow (e.g. loading a disc) compared to newer players. We mostly use a Playstation 3 (PS3) to play Blu-Ray in our home theater now. You *MIGHT* be able to use a newer player by running its HDMI output through converters, if you MUST hook it up to an ancient display device with component video but no HDMI inputs. Maybe HDMI-to-VGA plus a VGA-to-component video adapters? But of course you'd degrade the video, and if I recall correctly, the highest resolution you could possibly run over component video is 1080i; I don't think it supports 1080p. And any display without HDMI inputs almost *certainly* can't display 1080p, anyway. Another option -- it may be time to consider a new display device, one that supports 1080p and HDMI inputs.

Searching on the web I couldnt find any reference for this compatibility, yet, you must try searching on users guide because this controller seems to be very flexible about compat.Luck

Yes, it has worked with every Steam game that I've tried. I have not had trouble getting any pre-XInput games to work, even older DOS games that use DOSBox. What I *have* had trouble with is getting non-XInput controllers to work with newer games, but never the other way around.

I have not used it with a game console, but it works great with a blu-ray player.

Hi. I buy the controller for a gift for a friend. And he had the same TV, also the controller works great. I only have to put some batteries in and it works perfect. I hope I can solve your problem

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

I'm using an Xbox 360 controller and it works perfectly, no hassle. Just plug in and that's it.

I just bought this remote and I tried to set it up with the ps3 and it does not work. Says that the ps3 uses bluetooth devices and this remote uses IF. I am tryin to find something that I can plug into the usb port that would relay the IF signal to the ps3, but so far no luck.

Mine was working great until a few weeks ago it quit playing BD's after upgrading the firmware to the 169 version. No problem with DVD's. I've done the firmware upgrades to version 179 and still having the same issue. Nothing on the Sony website about this issue.

I tried this controller with several games and I did not find anything wrong with it. Shooting games, racing games, games that I wouldn't use this controller to play with and it worked every time. Hope this helps.

If you have a harmony remote, you can buy a $50 dongle that will allow it to work just fine with your PS3. And in answer to you, Sam, the reason is that because the PS3 actually has the HDMI 1.3 standard (Instead of the 1.4 standard all other bluray players, like this one, must have) the PS3 cannot output 1080p in 3D. This player can. So you are paying more for 1080p.

I only used it for Modern Combat. I know the controller was limited to certain games. They should have a list of compatible games on their website. I purchased this product several years ago.

My Sony BDP-s550 just stopped playing blu-ray discs as well. I tried to upgrade the firmware but that failed. Sony support couldn't help me to get it working either. I ended up throwing it in the trash. This was very frustrating. I will definitely not buy another Sony blu-ray player.

Yes, it does work on emulated games. I use it to play Super Nintendo games, but this is not a good controller, do more research, there are way better controllers out there. I recommend the PS3 controller. I bought this controller, I would throw it in the garbage, probably going to resell it on Ebay.

I have a sony blu ray player (HDMI) and an older Phillips TV. This converter works using the S Video input on the TV and HDMI on the player. Came with cables too. :)
