I missed the page on assigning the code when I read the manual because this particular pdf file displays in an unusual way and I really had to search for it, but here is the info you need.

Hold down the TV button on your VCR remote, then press the code for Sony TV, 08, and release the TV button. This should allow you to control your Sony TV.

I have sent you the pdf file of the manual by email in case you don't have it. If your email blocks it or you don't get it, let me know and I will give you a link.
