However, some customers express concerns regarding the remote's price and the need for professional programming. Negative feedback also includes issues with compatibility and battery life, particularly in low-light conditions due to the lack of a backlight.

Purchased this remote on the advice of the salesman. Was to make it easy to control multiple devices with one remote. However, this remote functions respond slowly or at times not at all. Sometimes it skips through channels or pages of the guide with a single touch. Has to be programmed by a tech through a computer at a cost. After purchase, found out that my new receiver remote can do all the things this remote is suppose to do which I can program myself.

This product, while expensive, is worth every penny. It is the best universal remote control I have ever used. I can easily operate all components of my entertainment system with ease. There are no glitches or problems that I have noticed so far. Very pleased.

We just had the 3rd "geek squad" person out to try to get this remote programmed correctly. He showed up without any computer to connect the remote to. Long story short, he's gone with no changes to this remote to get it to work correctly with our devices.

You can tell that you have a great well built remote by the way it fits in your hands and by how much it weighs. Remote is expensive and more expensive to have a professional program it for you, however you will enjoy the benefits of having this remote without buyers remorse..
Only negative, expensive at the tune of $400.00.

Bought this unit to replace an earlier model from the same company that worked well, but finally wore out mechanically after eight years of use - including 7 grandkids using it!
It controls a 47" flat screen an advanced Samsung Blu-ray smart player, Marantz receiver, Sony CD player and an upscale 5.1 sound system. Only downfall is that it requires programming by a tech, but he did it far better and with less aggravation than I could!

Second time I bought this remote! The LCD screen went so dark, I could read the menu. Otherwise, I liked it enough to get a second one.

Having to replace my older remote I selected the same model only newer. With the assistance of the Geek Squad literally every function is controlled easily with great graffics and logic.
