Overview

The Sony RM-YD037 is a genuine OEM replacement remote control for a specific subset of Sony's KDL NX-series LCD displays — the 40-, 46-, 52-, and 60-inch NX700 and NX800 models released during Sony's Bravia NX generation. As an authentic Sony replacement part (part number 148771111), it carries the exact IR command set and button layout that shipped with these televisions originally. That matters because third-party universal remotes frequently omit or remap secondary functions — picture mode shortcuts, scene select buttons, or advanced input controls — that the RM-YD037 handles natively without any code entry or programming.

This remote exists to solve one specific problem: the original remote for a KDL NX-series display has been lost or damaged, and the owner needs a functionally identical replacement. It is not a smart remote, not a universal remote, and not a multi-device controller — it is a direct, model-matched replacement that restores the TV's full control interface with no configuration overhead. For owners of these specific Sony displays who have exhausted retail channels, the RM-YD037 represents the correct, lowest-friction solution to restore full remote functionality.
