DAV-FX900W System: DAV HDX576WF is throwing an error "C 31 00" and no...

replacement remotes are cheap on ebay

You can get the remote from the Sony Parts and Accessories store for $52: https://servicesales.sel.sony.com/ecom/accessories/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=661075&searchOperation=modelSearch&searchText=DAVHDX576WF . Remotes.com also has the original remote here: http://www.remotes.com/store/Sony/davhdx576wf.html .

I hope this helps.

Most of the distance mentioned in ads and manuals are direct line of sight. As the number of walls between the transmitter and receiver increase the range keeps dropping drastically. Its not the distance but the obstacles that come in between that matter.

That would depend in part on the unidentified Blu-Ray player. Most have at least component video and some form of digital audio.

My advice would be to run the BluRay video directly to the TV and just run the digital audio (if it's compatible) to the Sony. No signal ever benefits from side trips to devices that don't NEED it. The fewer cables between the device and your senses, the better.

Hi,
Press Eject and Stop buttons on unit at same time for 4 seconds, display will show Unlocked, now you can eject discs.
Thanks.

Try pressing the mute button on the remote

check the video format

This is referred to as the demonstration mode. It is in your' manual on how to turn off this feature.

Same problem here!
