Excellent Remote - Good Value [Posted on 2007-07-28]
This is an excellent remote and they have a ton of codes. And it will learn a bunch of items. They also allow you to send it in to add a new code that they may have that is not in the list. Hence the reason for 4 out of 5 stars. The URC-8910 allows you to download the code over the phone...but this model you have to mail to them to add. But still the One For All's that are learning are the best in the business... I tried Harmony / Universal Remote brand and a few others...but One For All is a great company for support...I highly recommend.
one small glitch in instructions, otherwise PERFECT! [Posted on 2007-08-15]
This is what I have been looking for! My TV and DishNetwork sat receiver BOTH came with crappy remotes. The TV remote needs to be less than a foot from the TV to work. This does all of the sat receiver functions and the commonly used ones for the brand "Z" TV. One word of caution: the instructions for "learning" the old remote aren't clear. When you press the button to be programmed on the One for All remote, the LED lights for 5 seconds. The instructions don't warn you that the button on the old remote must be pressed DURING that 5 seconds.
Ergonomics are excellent. Although the buttons are small and appear to be close together, my arthritic hands have no problem with hitting the wrong buttons as they did with the Dish remote.
Part 2: I just added a Panasonic DVD recorder, again with a poor remote that doesn't work well. This One-For-All saved the day again! Positively BRILLIANT engineering! Something that is lacking in most of today's electronics.
Useful remote [Posted on 2007-11-08]
I have a Samsung LCD tv, Sony home theater, Dish network and a sony dvd player.
Expect for the home theater remotes works excellent for the other three things. For home thetare - if we are not playing DVD then we use the DVD option on remote and then we get the desired functionallity.
Cheap remote and works fine. Recommended
Sturdy and easy to use [Posted on 2007-12-12]
I have this for over a year now and even it is falling a lot - we have three kids in the house - it is still working a 100% It is also easy to program. I have 2 audio amplifiers that are not listed with a code, but both are working fine with remote to remote command transfer.
Pretty decent remote, but... [Posted on 2008-03-28]
The CON's:
I bought this remote after returning a URC-8910 from the same company and several unsuccessful attempts to get the 8910 to work with my JVC combo DVD+/-RW VCR unit. My hope was that this URC-6820 was a more modern remote and might natively support devices the 8910 did not. I was wrong. I haven't gotten to it yet, but it looks like I will have to "learn" all the functions of my JVC remote to the URC-6820.
The PRO's:
Packed with features for the price. The unified power on/off is an especially nice feature. Some more excellent features:
- More buttons can be retasked than the 8910.
- Much larger memory cache for learned buttons and macros.
- Runs on 2 rather than 4 batteries and holds custom settings properly when replacing batteries.
- Nice "heft" and balance in the hand. Controls well placed.
- JP1.2 interface for PC programming (haven't tried this yet but it looks like some serious geek fun).
