dead on delivery [Posted on 2007-09-24] This did not work out of the package and I returned it to Amazon for a refund. Have not received it yet. Bought one locally.
Constantly having to reprogram this remote [Posted on 2007-10-09] This remote worked fine when I first received it. However, about three weeks later, it would not controll my dvd and vcr. I am constantly having to reprogram it, especially for the dvd. I'm very disappointed.
A very solid, cheap universal remote. [Posted on 2007-12-28] We got this remote to replace a dead remote for a TV in our bedroom, not even for the purpose of hooking multiple devices together. We decided on this remote by the highly scientific process of going to the store, and selecting the cheapest universal remote they had available. The remote worked with the very minimal effort of finding the TV's code in the manual (which has a large selection of device codes (though in my experience, the first code for any given product usually works). Recently, we have switched tvs around and added various components to our setups and it has worked with almost every device (including a 13 year old AIWA stereo system and the Cable tuner from some company I've never heard of). It only has had some trouble with this DVD/VCR combo from Philips that we just got (which surprises me to no end). I would give it only four stars for that small caveat if it wasn't so darn cheap. For the price, the general multipurpose-ness of this device deserves the full 5 stars.
Phillips Magnavox Universal Remote Control [Posted on 2008-01-23] I bought this for a 1 year old who kept re-programming his parents' television and dvd players because he loved to play with the remote controls, so I have no idea how it functions as an actual remote because we did not put batteries in it for him to play with.
But he loves it as a play remote! It also doubles as a drumstick sometimes.....
Works great [Posted on 2008-03-09] Got it, put batteries in, put in codes, and it worked. Even for my old TV. But. . .don't throw away the code list. I tossed mine and now can't find codes for my new DVD player (planning on calling Philips, don't foresee an issue.)
