Sony 48A90K TV Remotes

Hi

The Sony A90K comes with two Remotes - a plastic one and a metal one.

 

if I purchase an additional remote for each, is there any problem using duplicate remotes?

 

Thanks

Hi @Willie16   The plastic one is just an ordinary IR remote, so you can have and use as many as you like. However the metal one is Bluetooth and you can only connect one at a time. Connecting a new one will disconnect the existing one.

 

Edit: I just turned off Bluetooth to see if the metal one uses IR, it does! So again you can use as many as you like. However, only one can use the assistance button (voice) because it needs to be connected by Bluetooth.
