Sony Universal Remote Control by Illusions Inc. combines smart TV controls and infrared remotes in one app. Control compatible Sony BRAVIA, Android TV and Google TV devices over Wi-Fi, or use your phone’s built-in IR blaster for supported TVs and home entertainment devices.

Navigate your TV, adjust volume, change channels, open app shortcuts and share media from your phone.

SMART TV REMOTE — ANDROID TV & GOOGLE TV

Connect your phone and compatible TV to the same Wi-Fi network, select your TV and follow the pairing instructions.

• D-pad: Navigate up, down, left and right, and press OK.
• Touchpad: Swipe to navigate and tap to select.
• TV controls: Volume, mute, channels, Home, Back, Menu and input selection where supported.
• App shortcuts: Open supported entertainment apps on your TV.
• Voice commands: Tap the microphone and say “Go home,” “Volume up” or “Open YouTube.”
• Automatic reconnection: Reconnect to your previously paired Android TV while the app is open and the TV is available.

COMPATIBILITY & REQUIREMENTS

Wi-Fi control requires a compatible TV with a supported remote-control service. An IR blaster is not required for supported Wi-Fi controls.

Infrared control requires a built-in IR transmitter. Installing this app does not add infrared hardware to your phone.

Features vary by TV model, operating system, remote profile and network. Not every device supports every button. Wi-Fi power-on depends on your TV’s standby and network settings.

Microphone permission is required for voice commands. Android screen-sharing approval is required for mirroring.
