Pros: Easy to set-up, plenty of device keys, macros, LCD status display Cons: Button placement!!!, LCD is faint
First, some background. If you want to get straight to the review, skip down to the REVIEW section, otherwise you can read about what led me to purchase this remote:
It was a sad day when I had to replace my Radio Shack 15-1994 remote. This...
Pros: Good button layout, works better for my digital cable box than any other I've tried. Cons: Doesn't work for my Yamaha receiver and couldn't learn from the Yamaha remote
I have a JVC TV, GE VCR, Sony DVD, Yamaha receiver, Motorola Digital Cable box, and an ancient JVC CD player, so my system seems to be a torture test for universal remotes. A few of the above components came with universal remotes, but these never work...
Pros: Lighted keys! Easy to program, macro keys and many more Cons: Can't find any
I started getting serious with my HT and son ended up with all kinds of stuff (A reciever, DVD player, HDTV, Dish reciever, VCR, CD Player, ...) and all of them came with their quirky remotes. If you read the reviews of many DVD players, (incl. mine on...
I am a remote control junkie. In fact, I'm afraid to admit how many remote controls I've owned over the years. But now my long search is finally over -- I have purchased and RCU810 remote control from RCA.
Pros: Backlighting. Good Code Library. Lots of hard buttons. Learns from other remotes Cons: Limited memory. Durability concerns. 4 AAA batteries. May lose programming when changing batteries.
I picked up the RCU810 from ebay for around $20 + shipping. They go for around $50 in stores at the time of this writing. The remote features lots of hard key - this can be nicer than LCD remotes as you can feel the keys. It also offers backlighting - a...
Pros: Lighted keys, macros, learns from other remotes via infrared Cons: Limited learning memory, clock is unnecessary, battery drains quickly when using backlight.
I have so many stupid A/V components, I was getting fed up with all the remotes laying around! This remote was a godsend! The fact that it can "learn" from other remotes via infrared transfer was reason enough to buy this thing.
Pros: Can control virtually any device you have, Learning feature lets you program Cons: Bulky to set up, cannot perform every feature you want
I bought this remote after farting around too long with 5 different remotes. My TV, VCR, SAT, Tuner, and DVD are all different brands, and day-to-day I used 3 of them regularly. I picked the RCA remote because of the backlighting, the on-screen...
Pros: Large code library, macro keys, learning keys and great backlight. Cons: Button layout takes a little bit to get used to.
A few months back my father gave me this remote after he purchased it and "couldn't figure it out." It sat unused in my entertainment center until tonight when we lost our satellite remote control and I needed something in it's place. I'm sorry I let...
Pros: Macro buttons are very powerful when controlling multiple brand systems. Cons: Buttons stop working and require large amounts of force when being used.
The controller was easy to program using the LCD screen. It was also nice that you could reprogram ...
Pros: Learning Features, LCD Screen, Plenty of Features Cons: Mine always break, poor warranty.
I bought my first RCA remote, last year and it was great! Until the Volume UP stopped working, of course it was 3 days after the weak warranty ran out, so I contacted RCA and they told me they couldn't do anything for me. I purchased another one becuase...
Pros: User friendly, programmable Cons: Can not be upgraded, poor tech support, limited memory for programming
I purchased the RCA RCU810B remote control for approximately $42. I had 5 devices to control: JVC CD Player (12 years old), JVC VCR (7 years old), JVC TV (9 years old), Kenwood Home Theater Receiver (just bought), and a GO-Video DVD Player (1 year...
Pros: Learning capability, back lighting, macros keys, good quality Cons: system bug
I bought this remote in hopes of replacing my 6 separate remotes down to one. I did that, and with relative ease. It ran my TV right away, no programming needed, as my TV is also RCA I was hoping that would be the case. With the preset codes I was...
Pros: Backlit, programmable, can do anything any other remote does Cons: Key layout is just ok, some important buttons not backlit
So I had the audacity to buy a DVD player, and since my receiver was 10 years old, I bought a new receiver. So I have: TV, Digital Cable Box, VCR, DVD, receiver each from a different manufacturer, and all have supposedly universal remotes. Apparently...
Pros: looks cool, nice color keypad, price, well on distance, learning feature is easy to use Cons: resets randomly, flimsy buttons, LCD display
A lot more pros then cons, however, This is my second remote in 2 weeks. The first one did the same thing as the second one. What happens is that the remote randomly resets itself. It has something to do with the backlight. Seems that when im cable or...
