How to Program Universal Remote to Sony TV [3 Ways]

Sony provides a dedicated remote control on the purchase of their Smart TV. However, the remote may become defective after some years due to wear and tear. In such cases, we recommend users use a universal remote to operate the Sony TV. But remember that you can’t directly control the Sony TV using a universal remote. For that, you need to know the Sony TV remote codes. This article explains how to program a universal remote to the Sony TV in three ways.
