PS3? Does anyone used this remote, Sony RM-VL600, to control PS3?

If you search thru the reviews, you'll come the the conclusion that it does NOT. PS3's remote controls only work via bluetooth. This doesn't make much sense to me --- Sony's universal remote can't even control their own device? But that's the way it is with PS3. You'll need a bluetooth remote

I was able to get the volume control working on this model with the DirecTV controller. You just have to follow the DirecTV instructions on MENU/Remote Control. I said I had a Sony but they did not list the model. So it began searching for codes (they said there were 95 codes they would test) and on Code 3 it worked.

We haven't had any problems with it working in Win 7 64. It's recognized immediately as a game controller. Just FYI, from my review "There is a switch with "DP, LS, RS." This is so that the joystick can emulate either the D-pad, Left stick, or Right stick on the PS3 controller. You might have to change this switch dependent on the game."

I'm pretty sure this remote is older than your tv by a few years so I wouldn't expect 100% functionality. From my own experience the FF/RW buttons don't work on my Philips Blu-Ray player. Very disappointing.

If you really want an infrared solution for the PS3, check out the IR2BT at ir2bt.com. It is an infrared to Bluetooth converter and relay that sends all of the same commands the Sony remote does. And, since it's relay, you can actually have the PS3 in a cabinet, etc., and out of sight (if you aren't a fan of its design).The Nyko remote is a usable solution, but it does not handle power or eject and it is a little slow in terms of response time. I've been using the Nyko and my Harmony (an 880, but it uses the same code database as the 550) and running the Folding@Home program on my PS3, but my electric bill has gotten a little steep, so I'm looking at the IR2BT to help me cut down on my usage.

Ive heard people have been able to get it to work...(i personally dont really need the ps button) for first person shooters. Some games I will buy just for the pc because of the keyboard mouse combo I have. It would just be nice if I could get this bluetooth keyboard to work with the pS3.

No. This adapter makes it possible to use an ir remote with the bluetooth only PS3. So, just like the game controllers, it also needs to connect to the PS3 via bluetooth. Meaning if the bluetooth radio in your PS3 died, you wouldn't be able to use this device either.

T.A.,Now that the PS3 is up to firmware 1.90, do you see any improvement with the functionality of this keyboard? Also, do you know if any keys are programmable... to create a "PS" button?

You can try buying the Nyko Blu Wave remote for the PS3, and then using the included IR dongle with the 550. I have heard of people that have had success doing this to allow the use of a universal remote.

Take a look at this product. It is exactly what the 2 people above are talking about. You just plug it in the USB port on the PS3 and then teach the harmony command for it. BluWave Infrared Remote - Playstation 3There are many reviews on there concerning harmony remotes also. The only problem people have is that there is no power button, so that can not be controlled by the remote.

Do you mean to plug this into an Xbox 360 and use a PS3 controller? I haven't tried it myself, but I'm going to guess that it wouldn't work.

When using those "channels" from the ps3, yes. This remote controls your ps3 just like your dualshock controller does. Also can act as a universal remote for surround sound and TVs.
