SRU9600/17 [Posted on 2008-04-19] The Sru9600/17 remote works great besides a few things. First of all the Favourite button did not work and neither did the sleep button. The touch screen was pretty cool. But I have not tried all of the different features but im sure some of the other ones dont work if such an easy on as sleep did not work. But overall the remote worked quite well.
Wished it worked as well as it looks. [Posted on 2008-04-22] The remote looks very cool and was easy to set up, but it the end it went back. The scroll wheel is isn't that smooth and while clever is really annoying since you need to scroll through the different actions or devices. Direct access to functions would be easier and quicker. Also, touch screen would shut down quickly (probably to conserve batteries) but it became annoying since it was too quick. Decided to try the Harmony One.
poor documentation and programing [Posted on 2008-05-25] Documentation very poor if you wish to program t.v. to be to channel 3 and turn on both tv and dvd player together in order to watch a dvd for example. Same limitation to watch cable or satellite. No response from Phillips support in spite of repeated request. I believe you first jog the dial to tv activity, then select channel 3, then jog the dial to dvd, turn on dvd. Not what a remote this expensive and supposedly programmable should be so limited.
