I just order the 50es and I have the Rm-AV2000. I know some people have this combo. What exactly can the RM-AV2000 not control on the 50es (minus the things that require bi-direction)? Will it control the basic every day function? ie. Change input, volume, mute, tuner, mode, genre ect.

I guess there is some problems with learning for the 50es remote. Like what?

Thanks for the help.

The 50es remote transmits at a higher frequency
than the AV2000 can receive. As far as I know,
the AV2000 can't learn any of the commands from
the 50es.

Sony has stopped shipping the 50es due to remote
problems. Maybe they will address this specific
issue.

Incorrect,

The 2000 will learn the codes. Unfortunatly the 50ES sends a string of multiple codes when you switch components for example. To learn these commands, you need to be a little sneaky:

Press and the Vol and Channel up buttons when the 2000 is off, and press the function key of your choise. As described int he manual, this allows it to "learn" a code to send when the button is first pressed - to switch AV inputs, for example.

On the 50ES rmote, tap the function (CD, DVD etc) and then blobk the IR port after around half a second or less. This wayyou only "catch" the first code it transmits - the code to switch the receiver input.

Worked like a charm for me.

If you have another learning remote, the AV2000 includes several input-switching signals built-in that aren't macros. If you teach these to another remote then back again you're guaranteed a clean, memory efficient, signal.

I also have a 50ES, but am using a Fenito FYT-TSR68 (Same as Sunwave 9320) remote and having the same problems...

Anyone know how I can get the Sunwave remote to learn code strings from the 50ES? Or is there another standard remote that will work with the 50ES that the Sunwave will be able to learn from?
