Customer Reviews:

WOW! Great remote for the price [Posted on 2008-03-24]
I have a 32" Olevia LCD, a DishNetwork HD-DVR, and a Kenwood Receiver. In a matter of minutes, I had this remote controlling all of these items. I actually bought mine at Walmart, but I was so happy with my purchase I had to write a review. Very easy to use. The "learning" capabilities are great. Buy it!

this universal control is garbage [Posted on 2008-06-04]
This universal control has limits to learn command. I want to clonar 4 original controls and only could clonar one.

The Sony RM-VL600 8-Device Universal Learning Remote it is far better. This control learn the functions of five original controls of my devices and it has much reach

Be aware - limited memory for learning [Posted on 2008-07-03]
I was really excited about getting this remote because it was a decent price, looked good, and had the ability to learn functions for remotes that weren't coded in. I'm tired of the pile of remotes I have on my coffee table, and I wanted to be able to store them away while I had a single remote do most of what I needed.

Unfortunately it's not listed anywhere in the specs that I could find, but the memory on board is only good for about 30-40 buttons. I have a few devices that either had no codes available, or didn't have all of the commands listed. This includes my Samsung DLP, my Samsung HT system, and my DVR, none of which had full command sets pre-programmed in, so all of them needed to have the commands added through the learning function.

I only bothered to have the R6 learn the commands I actually used on the remotes, but even before I was half way through programming the codes for my home theater system, the component button would just flash an error command.

I dug around online to figure out what the problem was and finally found the 30-40 button limitation not listed on Amazon's site. 30-40 buttons is not enough to program in more than one or two incomplete or non-existent remote profiles.

If you're not sure this remote will have all of the codes you need in order to use it on all your devices, look into the R5 or R7 models instead, which are listed at URC's website as having memory for up to 160 commands. I'll be returning this and looking for another learning remote.
