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

Simple remote, easy to see buttons, with (mostly) effective backlight. The instructions are not written really well and are a little difficult to follow, but once set up, you have nothing to worry about. great for a cheap replacement for one tv.

My remote broke, so I was looking for a low price substitute. I was surprised to see some of the huge price differences. All l needed was to turn units on/ off, change channels, volume control, nothing special. I came across this low end product. It was easy to set up, and in a few minutes, all of my problems were solved. It also had other features too. Great low entry unit.

My original remote was dying button by button and simply became completely unreliable. I read through a few reviews of universal remotes, and this one stood out as easy to use and good value.
The reviews were right. I had this remote running my DVD player in a matter of minutes!
It was reasonably priced, and it was even on sale when I bought it at the store!
The only thing I would recommend, read all the instructions for setting up the remote before starting the process. Then you'll know which buttons to press and hold and which buttons come next in the sequence!

My girlfriend and I needed a new remote for an older TV and (through perfect timing) I received Best Boy's "deal of the day" e-mail featuring this remote for only $6. I think this remote was a great deal, especially at that price, because it is very simple to setup with automatic code search and everything just plain works. I couldn't be any happier or have had an easier time finding the remote I needed at a great price!

Average - win for LG and X360, lose on Yamaha

I have a Yamaha receiver, XBox 360, and LG TV. I had high hopes that this single remote could control them all. Unfortunately, despite trying all the codes provided, this RCA remote will not control my Yamaha receiver in any way.
Some reviewers mentioned issues with the batteries popping out, etc. I have had NO problems. It is surviving several drops to this day.
I also like the back light feature for seeing the buttons during dark TV/movie nights!
As I bought this item for a few bucks on sale, I'm happy that it does control the X360 and LG. As the song goes, "Two out of three ain't bad".

I needed to get a second remote for my TV and was worried it might not function as well as the original one. My concerns are now put to rest because it has performed even better than my expectations. The price was a lot less then ordering a new one from the maker of my TV. I would recommend this remote to anyone who is looking to buy one. It was very simple to program. Great product for the price.

The automatic programming didn't work for my devices but the manual code search got them all working. Doesn't control every function on every device but covers all of the basics very well.

Sharp TV, Sony DVD player, Roku - all with one remote. Exactly what I wanted for my bedroom instead of working though 3 different remotes. Keys light up although not very nicely - there seems to be just a couple of lights in the back so some keys are barely visible even with the backlight on, but its a minor issue. Otherwise remote works great.

I couldn't believe the large selection of modern devices this remote works. And, I was really surprised at how easy it was to setup. The only thing I don't like about it is you really have to mash the buttons to get them to work. But for the money it's an excellent value.

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.

If you are looking for a universal remote to operate your entertainment system, stop here. Great product, very easy to use and set up. It has great range, light up buttons is a bonus. Just does everything it is meant to do, at the fraction of the cost of many other remotes, great product.

Easy to program. I found the code entry better than letting the remote find the devices. I am using this to replace a Fios remote and did not lose any of the features from the original remote. I also like it because it is smaller than the Fios remote which makes it easier to handle

Bought this to try to reduce some of the remote clutter on the coffee table. It does a good job for TV and DVD. It is a little inconvenient for Directv DVR controlling. Does not work for my Sony Audio system. Bottom line, I only reduced remotes by one. Worth the sale price? Yeah. Am I now looking for a Logitech or similar? Yeah.

This remote does everything I bought it for and has many added features that I don't use but are useful to others. Set up was fast and easy and it controls my DVD, cable box & surround sound. It is so much easier to use one remote instead of 3.

Remote control was easy to set up and easy to use. Some of the buttons are in odd locations but becomes less of a problem when you get used to it. Overall. very pleased with what the remote does and it was a very reasonable cost.
