The Soundbars dont have all the inputs the receivers do. I seem to recall finding discreet swithes for all the inputs with the ZA3000 Codeset. I dont have a Sony SB on display right now to verify though.
SOny TV's should work with these codes

And sell your client a new remote.
Admittedly most soundbars are quite limited, but this one isn't and it does have multiple inputs: 3xHDMI (one supporting ARC and another which is 4K pass-thru compatible). 1xanalogue. 1xoptical. BT and a USB input as well. It also supports DTS-MA and DD True-HD audio, so the configuration is sources to the soundbar first and then HDMI out to the TV.
Thanks for the suggestion, but selling the client a new remote needs to come after resolving the issue of dealing with input cycling. If that nut can't be cracked then a shiny new remote is still going to have the same problem surely?
