Universal Remote control for PS3? - Blu-ray Forum

Is there a Universal remote that works on all...including the PS3 (blu-ray)?

You'll have to get an IR receiver that is compatible for your PS3. I use a Phillips Pronto but I hear the Logitech Harmony is a rockin device and a steal at the price.

Which one? The Harmony has many models

The one that doesn't do RF. ummm, sec.

Harmony® 670 Advanced Universal Remote - if you want a text display

Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote if you have a wife that can't read and wants pretty pictures.

There's a website I use for remote control info and it's godly. www.remotecentral.com. TONS of colaboration and codes and graphics. Good luck.

Thanks....How would you rank the HARMONY 360?

That 880 looks sweet

PS3 uses bluetooth and doesn't have a built in IR port, so you'd either have to find a hybrid remote that has bluetooth and IR, or find an IR adapter (usb or otherwise) that works with the PS3.

Found this at amazon.com. It should be able to teach the Logitech Harmony the IR codes. Looks like a good deal at $20.

Sony PS3 remote doesn't do Infrared and I don't know of a universal remote that will work with bluetooth for device control. I reckon if there was one it's be out of any reasonable man's price-range. Do some research on that remotecentral website I linked above and see how others have done their programing of a universal remote for the PS3. I suggested that one off amazon because it's an easy way to teach the Logitech the codes.

Oh, return the PS3 remote if you still can. You can't teach a universal remote a thing with that Sony item.
