RCA - 4-Device Universal Remote - Black

Works great - so nice to have to have only one remote instead of three.

I needed this remote after we were upgraded to the new Comcast cable boxes. The Comcast box remote is able to control the power and volume on my not-really-name-brand TV, but trying to switch inputs to watch a DVD? It's not happening. The act of switching inputs is still a little tricky even with this remote. You have to hit the MUTE button to bring up the various input choices, then scroll through them and hit the Input - Digital button down at the bottom right hand corner to choose an input. I had a lot of trouble finding any help on this particular issue, so maybe these directions will help others too. Anyway, this remote does the job I need it to do (switching inputs), plus it has backlighting so you can see which button you're hitting when watching TV in the dark.

Since I lost the remote for my Panasonic Blu-Ray/DVD player I was in desperate need for a controller. Since Panasonic app remotes only work for Panasonic electronics I couldn't download one. (Wouldn't recommend Panasonic) This remote serves the purpose, has a light up key pad plus a lighted key to actually light up the keypad if you need it. Can operate 3-4 different devices. The only thing I don't like is that there is not an info button. Since we no longer have cable TV and rely on Netflix and local channels my only "guide" is from the info button.

I am giving this product an optimistic review of four stars but it is in transit to it's new owner and has not yet been used. The purchase process was frustration because the product was advertised as a "Deal of the Day", and when I purchased it, the price automatically bumped up by one dollar. I contacted Best Buy via email and it took two messages before the person on the other end understood what the problem was. They offered to refund the dollar, but it would have meant another 20 minutes of waiting at my Best Buy to cancel the purchase then create another transaction. It was just too much trouble, so I paid the dollar more and left.

Pros: Inexpensive replacement Cons: Really lightweight and doesnt work with my unismaison projector A basic remote cotrol to control my media center, i like it. It was a bit confusing on how to set up the first time, thought i could go all willy nilly and not read will programing remote. However after a few butal mins reading the manual i felt confident to take the world down one channel at an time. Worked with my digital converter box (happens to be RCA) but not with my aftermarket china manufactered projector. But over all it did the job i wanted (halfway). It even let me go deep into the menus of my converter box witch enhanced my viewing experience. Thanks bby.

I wanted a universal remote to replace the failing remote for my Sony DVD/CD surround sound system and combine it with my Samsung TV and cable box. The auto detect easily found my cable box and seems to work well with several of the functions. I had to manually enter the input for my other devices though, trying all of the provided codes until I found one that worked. I would have still been satisfied with the device, but it doesn't work with volume control on the surround system at all. While it will respond to "play" , "stop" and some of the basic functions of the system, most won't work at all. I really needed "volume" and "pause" features. If you are playing a DVD and try to adjust the volume, it will use the TV volume control instead of the surround sound. I thought perhaps I just wasn't programming it correctly since it mentioned a volume control override feature, so I wrote to the company to see if they could offer some advice to program the device to do what I needed. Their reply was that if the codes didn't work, they couldn't help, so just take it back for a refund. I appreciate the reply, but it was disappointing.....

I bought this because my new TV remote is so poor! Setup was a bit tricky, its best to just punch in the numerical codes from the list rather than trying to "marry" with the TV - I found this out after checking out on the web. I watch TV in the dark when my spouse is asleep, so the one-button and the backlight was important to me. I wanted to have the sleep button and the input button easy to access ... not a bunch of menus to maneuver (in the dark). This remote has those two right on the device with one press - the only remote that I could find which does. It states that this remote has a backlight, but if it does, its really weak, I think one button has some light, but its not anything I use. Signal strength seems to be fine.

Apparently AT&T Uverse Has comparability issues with most Westinghouse tv's. I happen to have said tv so my remote wouldn't change the input selection and the TV itself doesn't have actual buttons to do so. My only option was to buy a universal remote so I wasn't looking for anything fancy. This remote was way cheaper than I expected and does everything I need it to do without a problem.
