I have this Sony Player. It came with the RMT-D187A Remote. There are no open/close tray buttons on the remote. I have to get up and open the tray at the box. Am I the only one?

Nope ... anyone that has this player has to do just that ... kinda stupid I think!

Many models (including this one) seem to be omitting that feature these days. The idea is that if you are opening the tray then you need to be up there anyway to insert a new disc.

Yeah, that's how it works. It's a super-streamlined design, and the buttons aren't easy to read. But I figure since it's just a single disc player, you're standing there to load/unload the disc every time, so what's the need to open the tray with the remote?

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!

No, Paul, you are not the only to have to do this. In addition, because my remote is intermittant, sometimes I have to get up and press PLAY on the player. I tried another Sony DVD remote, it worked but had the same problems so I believe it's the player that's at fault. It's still a great player for the $30 I paid for it. Great picture quality, features, and plays scratched DVDs!!!! All the best.

Reading Writer, your parenthetical closing isn't a selling point for everybody if that's what you meant it to be. Just sayin' :-)Agree about the remote. I've got a fancy Logitech universal learning remote and name brand stuff (e.g. Bose, Panasonic, Toshiba) and I *still* have to break out a second remote now and then. Not a crisis. I'm old enough to remember when you actually had to get off your butt to adjust the volume or change the channel so maybe others have different perspectives.

Andrew, thanks for the interest here. No this unit does not offer any remote control option. It is analog through and through with no LCD interface. There is an on/off toggle. These units have held up well overall from what I have seen. Once in place (especially as strictly a headphone amp) the sonic quality output is pretty dramatic vs. straight to source. If purchased from me, I conduct a brief test before final packing to ensure all is functioning as opposed to just a shelf pull and pack.

Hi and thanks for the info; I just went to press the "menu" button but saw nothing from the receiver face plate or the TV screen. Are you referring precisely to the Sony STR-DN1010 model? I have wired the single center back speaker wires to either of the 2 center back on the receiver, i.e. "+" to the left "+" and "-" to the right "-".

If you have the original remote, you can have this remote learn the original remote's functions.I'm curious if you're asking about the feature found on some Sony TVs to freeze any image shown on the screen, or something else?

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent. Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty. Anybody got an opinion on which is the way to go ?

I did a lot of investigation when I purchased this, and learned that ... there is no published code for it. You can use the soundbar remote to control other Sony devices, but there is no way to program a non-Sony remote for it (or to get the soundbar remote to control non-Sony items like TVs).Not my favorite "feature" of this device.

I would love to be able to help you but I only used mine twice and watched the same movie each time. On the third time I used the player I couldn't get the disc tray to open, so I sent it back and got my money back via the warranty company. Sorry. Only advice I can give you is don't buy one of these.

I gave the recor4d player to my granddaughter. Check the directions that came with the player. Not much help, sorry. Go to a recordplayer repair shop (if you can find one)

Can't believe you have a functional machine.Mine was a piece of junk. I recycled it.You might be able to get a remote from Sony's web-site, or maybe eBay, but if if you aren't sure you have a functioning machine, I wouldn't waste my money on a remote.

Hi CharacterArtGuy, Sony RMVLZ620 Universal Remote Control will not work on your PS4. -Vincent

I used the previous channel button to display the "play list" of recorded content. Using the "learn" method program the "previous channel" button to be the same as the list button on your DVR remote. As well you use the "learn method" to program the universal remote for the up, down, and select/enter buttons to be the same as on your DVR remote. This will allow you to scroll up and down the playlist and then press the select/enter button to play desired content.

I believe it does. I never took the player out of the box. I gave it to my daughter because all of a sudden the player that i thought had to be replaced started to work and has been fine ever since. [I use a Logitec remote that controls everything.]

No remote, some of them come with manual. Amazon sells remote, also. If you have any Sony VCR that remote should work.

Mine wouldn't do the auto program or the one where you point the old one at it and press all the buttons. I had to do it one button at a time, manually. As to how that works, I'm sorry but I can't remember exactly. I just remember fighting with the thing for a long time. This remote has now become nearly useless, as the main select button has to be mashed hard to get it to react, and the up/down selector ring is also barely functioning. It has also become very position sensitive and has to be pointed directly at the Dish box to work, and is slow even then. I have bought a new Sony RM-VLZ620 to replace it. Sorry I was not more help. If I knew then what I know now about the URC, I would have sent it back. You should too.

At least not in the way I'm using it, I'm playing recorded over the air (OTA) TV and that doesn't have scenes. I have a separate DVD player and remote, so have never tried with this one. The controls I use that might do that are fast for/rev and jump to next recording. Supposedly you are suppose to be able to program the 4 color buttons, but I haven't seen where anybody has done it. I believe you have to program your receiving device to make use of the color buttons.
