  i did that
 
hold + or play on the remote and it flashes red/blue
 
turn on bluetooth on the 1z and scan, it just times out (and bt works as i have used it earpieces...meanwhile other devices see RMT-NWS20
 
and your 1z?  i reset the region using the tool (figured that was how to get the eng menu)
 
looking for another battery, maybe it's weak

Mine is non-Japanese Asian model, so I doubt it is region locked.
 
Are you using the "remote control" setting on the 1Z? Audio device pairing and remote pairing is separate. Also maybe move away from possible interference from the other devices.

Can my AK240 or Opus #2 use the Sony remote?!

yeah under "settings" there's "remote settings", tap inside should give you option to pair with the remote
 
Did you do the uncap hack? Try another region I guess, maybe pick the Asian and non-Japanese ones, you get English there and no cap

So like I mentioned, I just received mine today. Initially I had a problem pairing as well, but I figured it out.
 
First, you need to make sure you're at the Remote Control Settings menu, as mentioned above:
 

 
Then you need to make sure the Hold button isn't turned on, on the remote. This was my problem, and why the remote didn't pair initially. (if the button is pushed up, HOLD is engaged, make sure this isn't the case).
 
Finally, from the Remote Control Settings menu, just click "Add Remote". Press any button on the remote (Play, Volume + etc), and it should automatically pick it up and pair.
 
Took me a while to figure out (my remote is Japanese, and my reading comprehension isn't as good as some here

), but it works

mine was set to U, i guess US owners won't be getting remote access
 
after the change (and reset) adding the remote took seconds
 
granted the remote is obscenely overpriced but really handy when you are walking and the player is stashed safely
 
found that all my BT headsets work more or less flawlessly on the belt as long as you keep your head more or less forward--move to look sideways and it gets choppy
 
thanks again to you and the others for your response!

  No worries eh? Just glad it worked out. Surprising about the US region and remote option, I'm guessing it will be added in a later update.

Maybe not.
 
If the option wasn't there to begin with I'm guessing it has something to do with FCC wireless device regulations and certification, perhaps Sony don't expect to sell that many units of the remote in the states and forgo certification and took the option out to cover their legal bases.

It's possible, of course. I would certainly hope that it's just temporary while they pursue whatever necessary certifications required and add it as a future firmware update for the US region.

But you're right, realistically there's not really a significant market for the remote, I don't think. They may just decide it's not worth the effort.

Does anyone know what sizes of wires inside the WM1A or Z ? 22 AWG or 24 ? Something like that ? About those who asked if the sockets is playing side to side when you move it around. It is ok because these sockets are wired to the board and not direct on the board, so u won't damage anything
