Very good Universal remote , but.... [Posted on 2007-12-28] Progamming up is very easy , buttons are laid out very well. This "is" the last remote you'll ever need. I have another previous model and could not be happier. The light is a good idea when your watching your favorite shows at night , but this model has a "red" light back ground illumination which is very hard to see. The other model had a normal "greenish white" back ground which worked well. I'm not sure why they chnaged it , they should go back to it. I would have rated it 5 stars otherwise due to hard to see lighting..
Universal Learning Remote [Posted on 2008-02-09] Probably OK but would not fully learn the volume control function for an Olevia TV. Instructions lacking for use of the DVR controls.
Best Universal Remote for High-End Receivers & New Blu-Rays [Posted on 2008-03-24] I have used various brands of universal remotes over the past 12 years, and I think this one is the best. I have never yet been able to get one remote to control all my components satisfactorily until now.
I just bought a new Sharp Aquos TV, Panasonic Blu-Ray, and Onkyo 100 watt receiver. Plus I have an AT&T Uverse Motorola box. Since some of these items are brand new, no remote codes would work (although the Onkyo remote came close).
This remote did not have the preprogrammed codes either...BUT...you can program this remote to do everything your other remotes do. It took an hour or so, but now it works ALL COMPONENTS! Woo hoo! I especially like the fact that it has specific Receiver buttons (like DTS, THX, DD) that MOST universal remotes do NOT have. So when I want to switch to THX sound, I just press Shift+THX on my remote and it switches...just like my receiver's remote would.
Plus, this remote's macro capability is endless...and it includes a Pause control so that you can make the macro pause for several seconds (while a component is turning on, for instance) before moving to the next step. This is VERY handy for slow starting components like Blu-Ray players and high-end Receivers.
The buttons are VERY well placed, and the light button on the side is ingenious.
It will take some time to get this set the way you want...but it is well-worth it!
