OK, making progress. I do not have Sony remote, neighbor gave me the unit with no remote. it's out of the picture, unless I get one on ebay.

I see 2 options:

1: find a Sony remote on ebay

2: buy a universal remote. Only want on/off and volume, period. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOMETHING CHEAP?

Guess I can't use my Sony blue ray or new LG TV remote? can't find way to program them for 2nd AV device.


thanks for the help!
