2000+ keystroke trials earned me these discrete codes on the A80J Sony:
Sony 20, dev 31, subdev 64
OBC EFC5 Function
005 00015 Disney+ 00015 5
004 00019 Prime Video 00019 4
008 00146 YouTube Music 00146 8
Sony 12/15, dev 26
OBC EFC5 Function
090 00224 HDMI 1
091 00220 HDMI 2
092 00227 HDMI 3
093 00223 HDMI 4
088 00226 Bravia Sync
101 00255 "Control your cable box"
Apologies if this has been posted before.

I tested on my KD-55AF9 (Germany).

All these generated a message saying that the app has been disabled. But that is probably the reason why they are not documented...

(Should be Sony15, not Sony 12/15) To my knowledge, these are not "hidden" but "well known". "Bravia sync" is some CEC-Excercise (at least I think so), and the last one show the local USB-disk; it is even present on my standard remote ("title list").
This is my list of commands for the AF9.

Thanks for the streaming codes. As Barf said, the BS (Bravia sync) codes have been known for a long time. They're in an upgrade I made a decade ago. All are Sony15, not 12/15. Here are some more BS transport control commands and a couple that overlap your list. My EFCs won't make any sense because I use a combo protocol (12/15/20).
Code: Select all
Name OBC Protocol Device
BS-Theater 96 Sony15 119
BS-Rewind 27 Sony15 151
BS-Pause 25 Sony15 151
BS-Play 26 Sony15 151
BS-FF 28 Sony15 151
BS-Sync Menu 88 Sony15 26
BS-Prev 60 Sony15 151
BS-Stop 24 Sony15 151
BS-Next 61 Sony15 151

Thanks. The factory remote has this transport command as well:
Name OBC Protocol Device
Record 32 Sony15 151
Directly select HDMI devices via EFC?

Hi all, similar question on an A80J. All codes work fine, but since I have a PS3 connected to HDMI3 via CEC as well as a FireStick, the HDMI3 command by default selects (and powers up) the PS3, even if I'm selecting HDMI3 to go to Firestick, which is always on. I noticed the Input menu on the TV has discrete "PlayerN" labels for the HDMI3 devces. This is a long shot, but is there any way to select these "Player" devices directly with an EFC?

You can buy adapters to disable the cec signal on the one device:

Thanks! I figured out that I could hit the INPUT button and arrow right once and it's 2 presses instead of 1 but hey...
In the process, I noticed I can't learn Sony remote codes from the original A80J Sony remote using any of my XSight 18s. I had heard it was an RF remote, that might be why.

Try looking at the Sony remote through your cellphone camera, digital cameras can "see" IR signals, so you will see a flashing if it's sending an IR signal. Of course, if it doesn't even have an IR window or visible IR-LED then yeah, it's probably RF or Bluetooth.

Good point! The camera shows nothing. Now I'm curious how the guy who posted the A80J in the file section got all those IR codes. Does he have an oscilloscope?
Thanks, Robman, for keeping this site going for so many years. It's a wonderful resource I keep returning to over and over again. Just when I think all my remotes are exactly as they should be, I think of some other way I could put them to work.

He has nimble fingers...

Back on the original topic, I just found this. Apparently some Sony remotes can function in BT or IR mode:

I can confirm that if I disable Bluetooth, the remote sends IR and the Xsight can learn IR commands from it. Bluetooth is required for Google Assistant.

I have a newish (bought it after Xmas year before last) X85J, here's the upgrade
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=26427
The original remote is BOTH IR and BT. Out of the box it's IR, but once you pair it to the TV, it's BT. So, I had to unpair it from the TV to generate the upgrade for the Xsight.
