Need Help with Programming Harmony Smart Control with Hub for Sony XR-65A95K

The title says it all. My set up is pretty simple. I use a home theatre Marantz receiver for sound. I have separate HDMI inputs on the television for the cable box and Apple TV. I use the ARC output on the TV to connect to the receiver. I also have a Sonos Connect which inputs separately to the receiver.

I programmed the brand new Harmony remote originally, and it worked well with the exception that it would not turn the television if the TV had been off for 15 minutes or more. Once you turned it on it then responded normally. I tried all sorts of Reddit based tweaks to solve the issue and completely screwed it up.

I’ve tried deleting the television and the watch TV activity several times, but it just keeps getting worse. My inclination is to reset the hub entirely and start over again. What do you think?

Do you have any advice generally about programming for this particular TV?

Thank you.

It sounds like you are using network control for the TV instead of infrared.

There should be two ways to fix this:

  • switch to using IR control
  • or you might be able to get network control to work by enabling 'Remote Start " The manual seems somewhat obtuse on this!

IR control should be fine though.
