If all else fails you might be able to find a HiFi/Video store that sells
"learning" remotes and is willing to let you program it from a
compatible Sony remote that they sell. Alternately you might be able to
find some kind person with a compatible remote who is willing to program a
learning remote that you send them.

I have a Sony SLV-X810 HiFi video and the remote is model RMT-V130C. It has
all the stuff to control the on-screen menus and slow-mo and a TV. I don't
know if they're compatible though. Check your book for the remote model
number.
