Customer Ratings & Reviews

The remote good quality and easy to set up. The remote is rechargeable and saves you the trouble of changing batteries, and so far I haven't had to charge it. I used it on a Samsung QLED smart TV to replace the original remote that died. It says it works for all major brands, and has a pretty extensive list of devices, and the codes to program it, along with easy to follow instructions for set up. 5 Stars easy for me. It is an excellent purchase all around.

The RCA Rechargeable 3-device universal remote is a useful product that delivers as advertised. It does, however, have some cons that make me waver on my full support. If you want a rechargeable remote that will control your television and newer model auxiliary devices, then this (remote) is a great inexpensive choice. I primarily wanted this RCA Rechargeable 3-device universal remote for the television in our bedroom. It is a 2006 model Sony Bravia that we use a first generation Xbox One and 2019 Samsung sound bar on. We lost the original years ago, and I was excited to have a new working universal remote that would operate our TV and our Xbox. Out of the box, I let the remote charge overnight, then using the instructional foldouts, I was able to navigate the confusing gambit of processes to get our television connected. I did struggle with the original version of the Xbox One to the point that I just gave up trying. My son has a newer Xbox Series S, and the codes did allow for connectivity. I have not reached out for assistance and almost certainly will not since it did connect to an iteration in the Xbox family, just not the oldest version. Past that point, the RCA Rechargeable 3-device universal remote is able to connect to digital media streaming apps and works as advertised. This remote does exactly what it is supposed to do, and I will not say anything less. The cons I have that made me pull a couple of stars away are ease of use and quality of build. First, the weight and size of the remote are extremely light and small in stature. I feel like I am going to eventually break it or more likely just lose it. I am sure this is a muscle memory deal because all remotes are probably this light; just the batteries make it feel better in your hand. Next, the setup is so silly that it is almost hard, so much so that I cannot imagine my spouse being able to successfully program anything. The manuals are just little foldouts that are annoying, I would have liked to have seen a pamphlet-style booklet that I have received from other RCA universal remotes in the past. Then the remote does not have the numerical numbers 1 – 9 physically labeled on the controller. To enter the guide number, you must play a game of looking at the number and then what that number corresponds to on the controller buttons. After a while, I was able to familiarize myself with this enough that I did not have to look when setting up our bedroom electronics. However, a couple of days later, when I connected other devices for testing purposes. I had to play the game again because I had already forgotten the layout. I just do not understand why they would choose to omit the number labeling on the controller. Again, this remote is good, and I would recommend it. I would just make sure whom I recommended it to, was capable of programming it.

I've yet to find the perfect remote control that will control all three of my devices (TV, audio receiver and Roku) and be easy to use. Though I keep trying. This RCA remote control is good because it's rechargeable, no batteries needed. Just plug it into a USB on a computer or power strip every once in a while with the included cable and it will stay charged. It's a fairly small remote, maybe a bit too small and light. It's five and a half inches long and an inch and a half wide. It is only half an inch thick. It has a TV button and a button meant for cable boxes or streamers. There's no dedicated button for audio equipment, you have to push two different buttons simultaneously to access audio, which is not ideal. The buttons are also fairly small and close together, which complicates things if you have large fingers or are trying to use it in the dark. It is not backlit, which can also be an issue. I was able to program my Samsung TV very easily with the codes provided in the instruction materials. The same with my Roku, but not with my Denon audio receiver. I tried all the codes provided, none of them worked. You can also do the auto-programming, where it tries all the various codes available, but it still wouldn't program the audio receiver. I looked around on the RCA website and other sites for any additional help, but wasn't ever able to get it programmed. I may use the remote in a different room where it works with all the equipment or maybe try a soundbar instead of my audio receiver in the living room.

The RCA Rechargeable 3-Device Universal Remote is a remote that can be used to pair up to three devices. Instead of using three separate remotes, you’ll only have to use one single remote. The remote sounds promising but didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. It was somewhat of a pain to setup and not user friendly at all. I’ve paired universal remotes that are much older, and they worked just fine. I was able to get my TV paired up daily well, as well as my Apple TV. It fell short when trying to pair the LG sounder bar I have. It accepted the code, but it failed to do anything else after that. I wasn’t able to get the auto code feature to work on all of my devices. I wish this remote had number keys. When you have to enter the numeric numbers, you have to look at the diagram from the user manual to see which button corresponds with the number you’re trying to enter. Be sure not to lose your manual, as it will be quite the challenge to remember which keys to press for most people. It has shortcut keys for Netflix and Disney Plus. Perhaps it works with other media devices, but I had no luck trying to get it to work with my Apple TV, if it’s even supported. Overall, I’m not too thrilled on this universal remote.

I am very pleased with my new remote.. no batteries you just charge it like you would a phone! It was very easy to learn and set up. But the best part of my purchase was the customer service that I got. So thoughtful and helpful and as I am elderly I must say he was very patient! Way to go Best Buy!! I wish I could remember his name! Excellent employee!.❤️
