Android Media Remote not seeing KDL-32CX523

[Merago]

Hi there,

Just purchased a KDL-32CX523.  I have an Android phone (Nexus S) and have been unable to get the Sony Media Remote app to detect my TV.  I can ping the TV from my phone and PC and can access media from my PC on the TV so the networking (and DLNA I guess if I can see PC-based media) side of things seems to be working.  To give a little more information on my setup- I have a wireless network, but the TV is connected via ethernet cable to a wireless AP in client mode.  The PC, phone and TV are all on the same subnet and can talk to one another happily.  Media streaming, internet connectivity and the like are all working perfectly on the TV.

When I try to add a registration in the app, I just get a message saying that there are no unregistered devices detected on the network (or words to that effect).  Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting this working?  I had initially wondered if it might be something blocking DLNA access on the network, but given that media streaming from my PC is working (and also media streaming via DLNA between my phone and PC), I think I can rule that out.  I've tried two different Android devices (my Nexus S and my wife's HTC Desire) and got the same results.

TV was given a factory reset and firmware update and still no joy.

Help!

Has anyone had any luck with this..  I have just got a KDL-32CX523 and I have turned on all the settings on the tv to allow the remote device/render but when I try to discover the tv from my smartphone, it doesnt find it..

my setup is  Netgear Router -----> Wireless bridge ------> TV

Any help would be very much appreciated

Hi- I had the same problem with the KDL-32CX523 connected by ethernet to a wireless Netgear router.

I solved it by checking the "Disable Port Scan and Dos protection"  tick box in the Wan setup in the Netgear router diagnostics.

Hope this helps good luck
