Is it possible to make a Sony Commander universal remote work with this ClearMax projector? If it is, how can I do that?

I have this projector and it works well, I have tried to use different universal remotes with it but I was unable to connect it. Based on my attempts no. I did a quick check of your remote and I did not see an option for codes for projectors.

I was able to get the volume control working on this model with the DirecTV controller. You just have to follow the DirecTV instructions on MENU/Remote Control. I said I had a Sony but they did not list the model. So it began searching for codes (they said there were 95 codes they would test) and on Code 3 it worked.

Yes. I use it with my Sony PS3 (which has built-in blu ray player) with it all the time and it looks fabulous! I use regular HDMI and/or Sony PS HDMI cord. Great projector. Let me add that I purchased a Power Conditioner w/built-in surge protector on Amazon.com for around $60 (Furmans I think) and that's the best protection for constant voltage to projector.

It's my understanding that the a58 does not accommodate the ir remote. This does not make sense to me because almost very other Sony model does.

I, too, have to get up to open the tray box on my Sony Player. You're not alone. I'd also be interested in knowing the remote can operate, so I'll wait to see the replies as well!

That's always a possibility, Desiree, but also likely that Phillips will bring another remote that yours will still be compatible with, I'd contact customer service at Phillips and ask them direct.

there are two remotes that are very similar to look at, but don't work on the same units, I ordered the wrong one initially. I called Sony got the correct remote. Way easier, wished I had done that first. DON'T buy from Sony, insanely expensive...

Tracy:I understand your frustration. However, there is a workaround. Start the presentation and click *once* on the slide show screen (not the presenter mode screen). This will then send all the commands to the slide show screen. The remote will work as expected then.Hope this helps,Craig

Thank you so much for the clear answer. I have been trying to find a universal learning remote to handle my dish dual tuner situation for a while. I thought I had it hear but clearly I don't. Thanks for the help.

Hi 515Rusty, the remote for this Sony CDXM20 uses infrared, which mean that you must be always at the line of sight for the it to work properly. -Ely

That's going to be pushing it. If it's a clear line of sight, it *might* work, but I'd hate to bet my life on it. Realistically, since this is the best of the consumer remotes, if you absolutely, positively need it to work 100% of the time, you're likeky going to have to bite the bullet and step up to a large, heavy, expensive professional unit, such as the PerfectCue (dsan.com/CueLights/PerfectCueMini.asp).

I have been unable to find a remote for the projector. I also have not been able to find the computer, iPhone, or iPad cord or adapter for the USB input port. I have a perfectly good projector that is unsuitable for every intended use. Wish I knew that before I bought it.

Thanks for the info. In case you were able to configure successfully, please do let us knw... Might come in handy, in case the remote falters. I've not had any issues with the remote ever since I started using it... Hope it stays the same... :)

I'm pretty sure this remote is older than your tv by a few years so I wouldn't expect 100% functionality. From my own experience the FF/RW buttons don't work on my Philips Blu-Ray player. Very disappointing.

You can't link them but there are three distinct remote codes so you can have up to three of them and control them independently. I have 2 of the older Sony 400 disc mega changers and 1 of the new Blu-ray changers, all in the same room. You could get an excellent and inexpensive HDMI switch at monoprice.com.
