Hold the grey tv button and green power button for 5 seconds or at least until the red button lights up. It'll find the code and turn off tv. As soon as it turns off, press the grey tv button immediately. And press it again after a couple of seconds. It should turn on and volume should work. It took me a couple of tried with my t.v. it's pretty old but it works.
Go to settings>devices, then press and hold share + PS button for a few seconds, it’ll eventually show up as “PDP Universal Remote” using the controller click on “Universal Remote” and agree to pair and you’re done, there... saved you from watching a video 20x longer than it should be
when programming a device, don't press just any button when, say your TV shuts off. when tv shuts off, press the TV button. it's assigning the code to a device. just FYI.
The instruction manual said to press the PS4 button under Devices before pressing the Share + PS Button for the LED to flash and that's what worked for me. This video helped because it showed the device name may not come up sometimes, so I just selected on the empty lines one by one and "PDP Universal Media Remote" showed up. Cheeky little bastard.
My remote unpaired itself and I couldn't figure out how to make it pair again until I watched your video!! It sat in my night table for two years!!! Thanks a bunch!!!
Your video was really helpful to me! I just got a new tv and needed to pair it and didn't remember how at all! The manual sure didn't help, but your video saved the day! Thanks a million!
nice video evrytime my batteries die i have to do this and i always forget...only thing i had to do different is i had press X on the controller to accept pair
After hold down 2 buttons, light does flash and shows up on ps4 screen. But when I need to move highlighted part which is dual shock 4 I can't move it.
i dont have the manual i wanted you to tell me what the manual process was because the auto process isnt working for me :”( but i didnt know how to do the auto pricess before i watched your video so thanks for showing that even though it didnt work for me
no, my pos philips 55” 4k ultra hd tv isnt listed in the manual so i cant put the manual code in. i gave up and just use my game controller to view streaming apps like crunchy@@FreyasFriends
At 2:55 your actually supposed to push the PlayStation button first to wake up the remote and then you hold the PlayStation button and share button at the same time
Why would Sony have a third party design, manufacture and distribute their official PS4 remote? That is very strange to me since they make TV's and they make the PS4. No batteries included? I don't think I have ever seen a remote that did not include batteries. Yeah, not a huge deal, but very cheap decision to not include batteries.
Hi Marc! I loved your video. I went out and bought this remote and paired it perfectly with my Playstation 4, as well as my television, which is a Westinghouse 40" 1080p HDTV flat screen. It's one of the generic, off-brand types of televisions. I had a question for you though. I love the remote, but I can't figure out how to get the darn INPUT button (green soft key) to work! I clicked on it and it will not pop up the INPUT options on my TV screen. I even tried the whole "learning function" outlined in the manual and that didn't make it work either. I'm at a loss. Did this happen to you also? Do you know how to fix it? I don't think the remote is broken because everything else works beautifully. It's just that one button that won't run input on my TV.
does the volume on the remote control, control the tv volume or the ps4 volume? I hate having to go into the ps4 settings to change the volume when playing games vs watching bluray's. so, just wondering if the volume buttons will control the ps4 volume to make changing the volume easier. thanks
hey marc i bought this remote control based on your review. it works alright, but one major question? how do you charge the remote control and you're running it on the bluetooth devices on ps4. my remote control is running on 2 instead of 3 full .... any help would be helpful......... thanx man
For anyone who like me was not happy with the PS5 Media Remote for lack of Blu-ray functionality, I'm happy to report that the PS4 remote in this video is compatible with the PS5. Pairing it to a PS5 is the same as with a PS4 as shown in this video.
Can you program this remote to a PlayStation one or PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3 because I have a PlayStation 2 and I’m old-school and I like the older game consoles
use new batteries. the remote would blink fast 3 times and shut off when trying to pair.thought it was defective like one I returned the day before. the remote I returned was blinking like it should when trying to pair however wouldn't show on Bluetooth device
I just purchased this remote and thus far it has been dissappointing, unfortunately its the only legitimate option. There is numerous functionality issues when using various media services such as Hulu. The mute button doesn't work & basically none of the buttons operate (where are the other R & L buttons?) The PS3 Media remote is way better why didn't Sony stick with that make?? I really want to know. Sony has been making a lot of bad decisions with their product line.
Sony made the remote them self for the PS3, and this one is made by PDP for the PS4; however, I don't have this remote and are planning to buy it and test. If you don't like it I think you should return it and get your money back.
***** Ill keep it, as i stated its the only legitimate option for the PS4, its perfect with DVD/BLU-RAY playback and Netflix, just everything else sucks.
I was kinda bummed that the remote u was using on my ps3 wasn't ps4 compatible, and I was happy to see this but it doesn't look like its ps3 compatible and I have both hooked up to the same tv. This remote looks an awful like the ps3 one, I just don't understand why they couldn't make the old one work with ps4
Does anyone know how to sync the volume button on the remote, my remote controls the movies just fine (rewind pause stop etc) but I can’t get it to control the volume
+MJIndian I remember that I don't have one though my ps2 slim still plays dvds just fine might get one someday. I got the silver ps2 slim it even has the free mc boot exploit on my memory card so I can run back up games and emulators :)
So far Netflix is the only app the utilizes the most functionality, haven't played any Blu rays or DVD's You should always have spare batteries and spare charge cords.
I like this remote but mine won't program to either my TV or my cable box. I got on the manufacturer website and found a list of codes for it and none worked. Still good for blu ray I guess
I did this set up and it worked perfectly until I programed my tv .... It turned it off then on & then the controller never worked again... Never turned on my PS4 or TV. I changed out the batteries and everything it bricked my controller I didn't even think it was possible but my controller is now a $30 paper weight....
All the devices are working, except now the ps4 stopped workin!! I changed the batteries, but still, not working, ugh!! I brought up the "devices" (at the "Setting" menu of my ps4) & i could still see the PDP Universe Media Remote there, & it does work for 1 second (when i open the batteries, & then, close the batteries) but then, stops working!! Any suggestions?
I got this remote 5 years ago just now setting it up appreciate the video
Same😂
Bruh
Same and it won’t connect to my tv
Same here. This remote is a pain to get working lol

Life saver bro 😎
Skip to 2:37 for pairing with the PS4. Thanks for the helpful video!
chrisgsauce THANK YOU
Awesome thanks for the tip
Thanks
If anyone else is searching, this remote pairs to the PS5 too. Put remote in pairing mode first then go to the bluetooth menu, shows as PDP remote.
Go to settings>devices, then press and hold share + PS button for a few seconds, it’ll eventually show up as “PDP Universal Remote” using the controller click on “Universal Remote” and agree to pair and you’re done, there... saved you from watching a video 20x longer than it should be

What TV button tho? The Green or the gray?
Saved me one heck of a headache, much appreciated.
Brandon McMullin thanks that worked
grey worked for me
Brandon McMullin hi
Not so long ago i was watching a vid about this remote. I'm glad you did a unboxing and a tutorial on how to set it up
My remote light goes off before the tv. Oh well good to know for other TVs. Great video
The instruction manual said to press the PS4 button under Devices before pressing the Share + PS Button for the LED to flash and that's what worked for me. This video helped because it showed the device name may not come up sometimes, so I just selected on the empty lines one by one and "PDP Universal Media Remote" showed up. Cheeky little bastard.
My remote unpaired itself and I couldn't figure out how to make it pair again until I watched your video!! It sat in my night table for two years!!! Thanks a bunch!!!
Congrats on 100k subs Marc!
u rock dude my sister handed me the controller and had me hook it up BUT they didnt have the package and with this video i was able to figure out how
Your video was really helpful to me! I just got a new tv and needed to pair it and didn't remember how at all! The manual sure didn't help, but your video saved the day!
Thanks a million!
This doesn't work for me for my tv, and the codes in the manual the red light dosent flash on my remote like its meant too, cannot sync with my tv.
I've been waiting for the PS4 version to be released. Thanks for the video!
Chalenge: rank 1st place in any fps game by using the "ps tv remote"
Thanks for this! I bought it without having any batteries and I lost the instructions between then and now!
Also push green power button and gray tv button. I didnt catch that the 1st time. Great video!
Just brought another remote. Thank God I wrote this comment lol
Thank you for helping me program it just got it today bought it off the mercari app it was brand new but didn't have original box or manual
great video man, i was thinking my remote was a defect lol
Thanks for the video. I lost my instructions and your video helped me connect my new device to my ps4. Awesome!!
How do I connect to tv
nice video evrytime my batteries die i have to do this and i always forget...only thing i had to do different is i had press X on the controller to accept pair
Watching in 2023
How do you manually put the codes in? Like where do you have to go? Its Because i lost the Manual
After hold down 2 buttons, light does flash and shows up on ps4 screen. But when I need to move highlighted part which is dual shock 4 I can't move it.
i dont have the manual i wanted you to tell me what the manual process was because the auto process isnt working for me :”( but i didnt know how to do the auto pricess before i watched your video so thanks for showing that even though it didnt work for me
Did you by chance figure out the manual process? That's my issue right now as well.
no, my pos philips 55” 4k ultra hd tv isnt listed in the manual so i cant put the manual code in. i gave up and just use my game controller to view streaming apps like crunchy@@FreyasFriends

Its not a actual sony made producy
Very helpful, thank you for helping me resync my remote for my PS4 and TV
Great help. Even an old guy like me could follow the instructions. Thanks .
Can't connect to my tv. Is it not comparable or is it my tv sensor? Any ideas?
Awesome video Marc!
Cool video dude! Good walkthrough!
I couldnt connect to my tv this way. I had to hold the green tv button and the grey tv button. And worked like a charm.

probably your TV is the problem, the remote work only when you don't have the original remote, the device can control 4 device at the same time
did you get it to work its doing the same on my tv, it finds the code but then i cant turn it on or do anything ?
I'm gonna assume it needs the PS4 to be on before turning on the TV? Which is a bit silly of Sony!
Still thinking if I should buy one or not...
Did you get it working?
Gaia Hancock try the home button and at the same time press the share button
Just bought this remote looks great 👍
Thnx dude. You have now earnt a new sub 🦊
hey marc i bought this remote control based on your review. it works alright, but one major question? how do you charge the remote control and you're running it on the bluetooth devices on ps4. my remote control is running on 2 instead of 3 full .... any help would be helpful......... thanx man
Liking the 60fps
how can you tell? thanks for watching.
+Juan Betancourt My laptop can't handle the 1080p 60fps has to be 720p 60 fps and I am on a alienware m11x laptop :(
+LordMegatron ya in on a iphone 5s and the highest resolution is 720p60fps
Juan Betancourt Might try watching this on my iPad air 2 see if it is better. It is just jittery on my laptop at 1080p60fps.
Yeah, I'm watching on my iphone and it looks incredible
It turned my TV off but it doesn't turn my TV automatically like my old TV.
When programming the TV,the tv will turn off as if the code is found but TV does not turn back on?
Anybody else have luck with this?
Which one is better this one or the PDP Cloud controler?
This was incredibly long for something that should be 30 seconds long
Adverts?

Thank you, I was look into to see if this works with PS5 since I’m the same I don’t really like the Media remote that goes with it
Can you program this remote to a PlayStation one or PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3 because I have a PlayStation 2 and I’m old-school and I like the older game consoles
use new batteries. the remote would blink fast 3 times and shut off when trying to pair.thought it was defective like one I returned the day before. the remote I returned was blinking like it should when trying to pair however wouldn't show on Bluetooth device
Good review. I DO feel the difference using the remote instead of the controller.
Is it better ?
cool video awesome! :) the 1080p60fps is great.
What would happen if you were to try playing games with it
thanks for the video on how to hook it to the PlayStation 4 I lost my manual
Auto TV Discovery didnt work me me either(older samsung flat screen). After following the manual tuning instructions, it works great.
Is the material of the body and buttons of remote silicone? I ask because I don't like silicone.
I love that remote. Perfect. Cool style.
I just purchased this remote and thus far it has been dissappointing, unfortunately its the only legitimate option.
There is numerous functionality issues when using various media services such as Hulu.
The mute button doesn't work & basically none of the buttons operate (where are the other R & L buttons?)
The PS3 Media remote is way better why didn't Sony stick with that make?? I really want to know. Sony has been making a lot of bad decisions with their product line.

***** Ill keep it, as i stated its the only legitimate option for the PS4, its perfect with DVD/BLU-RAY playback and Netflix, just everything else sucks.
+Kravesin what else is there
+xXiAmThePro08Xx
Antenna TV/Cable
xXiAmThePro08Xx This Nyko miniature crap remote i bought from Gamestop then immediately returned, not sure of any other brands.
Hey there, where can I buy one of these in UK?
Is this silicone? I don't like that material. Or velvet.
Mine wouldn't work on my TV either. I went through the set up correctly, but it never worked afterwards.
I was kinda bummed that the remote u was using on my ps3 wasn't ps4 compatible, and I was happy to see this but it doesn't look like its ps3 compatible and I have both hooked up to the same tv. This remote looks an awful like the ps3 one, I just don't understand why they couldn't make the old one work with ps4
Well I take it back, because of this video I went and tried my remote again and now all of a sudden it works
Can u use this for a dvd player?
its by PDP not SONY they licensed it beacuse the lazy ceo didnt want to make 2 more remotes like the one for ps3
My remote is flashing, but when I go to connect it, it says "cannot find a profile supported by the PS4" please help
What about PlayStation vue can you record a show. Like if I miss a NBA game can record it or no
Was having issues syncing thanks for the tips.
is there rt and lt buttons for switching tabs on the browser?
U r a og thanks for showing me how to do this
Worked good...Thanks
does it wrk with TH-cam? and if not will it wrk with you tube eventually?
can you turn the ps4 off with the "pwr" button? doesn't seem to work for me
Thanks for the video!
Does anyone know how to sync the volume button on the remote, my remote controls the movies just fine (rewind pause stop etc) but I can’t get it to control the volume
Does this remote switch inputs on the tv?
Can you program a macro function into it? ie, One button would turn on PS, TV, and Amp?
Does anyone remember when the PS2 had a remote like this?
+Jason Miller yup, same here. Though my PS2 never played dvds so it was useless. I had one of the fat ps2s
+MJIndian I remember that I don't have one though my ps2 slim still plays dvds just fine might get one someday. I got the silver ps2 slim it even has the free mc boot exploit on my memory card so I can run back up games and emulators :)
+LordMegatron Wait, you can run emulators such as SNES emulators on your ps2??
***** Yup :)
Yea the ps2 just had a built in IR it worked good this remote only works for PS4 I can't get it to work for anything else like my tv
Wow, 60fps.....thanks for the video man.
How do u register it to yer tv to control your tv thou?
Thanks ¿is good for ps3?, i have ps3 and ps4.
it wont show up on my ps4 when i press the share and ps button and press them till the red light flashes above the power button any idea?
this thing when on... is OK... but wanting to control a movie a way into watching it takes a bit to start responding
It doesn’t seem to work with a roku tv (power button) I wonder why that is?
im trying to re connect the remote and i cant seem to get it to register any help?
Does this remote work with Netflix and Amazon Prime apps? I mean can it pause, play, ffw, rew etc?
Works with Netflix TH-cam no Amazon yes
Mine must be dead. Changed the batteries, and still no lights or nothing
works with sony surrounsound bars?
How do u work amp????
Nice vid! Does anyone know if this will work with the PS3 too?
it has its own remote
So far Netflix is the only app the utilizes the most functionality, haven't played any Blu rays or DVD's
You should always have spare batteries and spare charge cords.
I like this remote but mine won't program to either my TV or my cable box. I got on the manufacturer website and found a list of codes for it and none worked. Still good for blu ray I guess
+D Hunt (DHunt420) Where did you find these codes? My google fu is failing me right now.
I found them on the pdp website. I ended up getting mine to auto program for my TV. Still won't program to my cable box
+D Hunt (DHunt420) Just found them, thanks!
Can you tell me what I need to do to manually enter the codes? I don't have the manual and am having trouble finding out how to do this!
Thanks man
I tried pressing circle to go back, but it won't let me.
Can’t this make your screen stretched?
I did this set up and it worked perfectly until I programed my tv .... It turned it off then on & then the controller never worked again... Never turned on my PS4 or TV. I changed out the batteries and everything it bricked my controller I didn't even think it was possible but my controller is now a $30 paper weight....
Press the blue ps4 button again, and thanks for your commment, I got an idea why i lost every functions on ps4 when i try to link to my tv
All the devices are working, except now the ps4 stopped workin!! I changed the batteries, but still, not working, ugh!! I brought up the "devices" (at the "Setting" menu of my ps4) & i could still see the PDP Universe Media Remote there, & it does work for 1 second (when i open the batteries, & then, close the batteries) but then, stops working!! Any suggestions?
you have to set up again like on the video
does it work with PLEX?
hello everyone, is this remote suitable for ps5?
How do you reset the remote?
It's so freakin small, loved the PS3 remote but this thing horrible
On Hulu, it doesn't seem to let me exit a show.
