RMF-TX500P replacement remote for Sony Bravia H-series TVs
Three remote codes, one replacement
This handset substitutes for the Sony RMF-TX500P and also covers the RMF-TX520U and TX500U codes, which puts a large slice of the 2019 and 2020 Bravia line-up back under control with a single part. Dedicated Netflix and Google Play buttons sit on the face, matching the streaming-first layout Sony adopted for this generation. The unit is brand new, operates straight out of the packaging and needs no programming or setup of any kind — fit two AAA batteries, which are not included, and start watching. A Sony Bravia TV voice remote RMF-TX500P twin pack is listed separately for multi-TV homes.
Bravia models from the H and G generations
The compatibility list is extensive. H-series panels include the KD-43X7400H, KD-43X7500H, KD-43X8000H, KD-43X8050H, KD-49X7500H, KD-49X8000H, KD-49X9500H, KD-55X7400H, KD-55X8000H, KD-55X9000H, KD-55X9500H, KD-65X7400H, KD-65X8000H and KD-65X9000H, plus the KD-55A8H and KD-65A8H OLEDs. From the G generation it covers sets like the KD-55X8500G, KD-55X9500G, KD-65X8500G, KD-65X9500G and KD-55X8507G. The reliable check is always the sticker on the TV's rear panel: read the exact model code and confirm it appears in the listing before adding to cart, as Sony's remote families changed between generations.
A practical fix for lost and broken originals
Genuine Sony replacements for this generation are expensive enough that some owners resort to phone apps; a purpose-built handset is a far better daily experience. This one reproduces the full control set, from the programme guide through to the streaming shortcuts, in a durable case intended for years of couch service. Owners of the earlier F and G series without voice needs can take the Sony Bravia RMF-TX310P IR remote without voice route instead, while X9000C-era sets pair with the Sony RMT-TX100A remote KD-55X9000C KD-65X9000C listing. Because the layout mirrors the original, there is nothing new for anyone in the household to learn: apps, inputs, settings and the guide all sit where muscle memory expects them, which matters most for less technical family members who simply want the TV working the way it always has.

Does this remote require programming or pairing?
No. The remote is easy and simple to operate, working straight out of the packaging once batteries are fitted. There are no setup codes and no pairing sequence, so it suits anyone who wants the TV working again within a minute of the parcel arriving. It is a brand-new unit, not refurbished, and includes dedicated Netflix and Google Play buttons.
What batteries does it need and are they supplied?
The remote is powered by two AAA batteries, which are not included in the package. AAA cells are cheap and stocked everywhere from supermarkets to service stations across Australia and New Zealand. Fitting them is the only preparation the remote needs, since no programming or configuration is required for compatible Sony Bravia televisions.
Can I return it if my TV is not on the compatibility list?
Yes, a 30-day return policy applies to this remote. Even better, you can avoid the issue by emailing your TV's model code to contact@theremotefactory.com.au before buying, and the team will check it for you. Orders are dispatched within 24 hours, so the correct handset is usually only a few working days away on standard Australian delivery.
