Pros: I have 6 remotes and this one replaced all with no problems. I love it.
Cons: No macro buttons except for all power down. But I don't need that anyway.
The Bottom Line: I love this remote it replaced 6 and even the complicated TV remote with Video 1,2,3 and LD options. I was very impressed. I Love the TiVo capabilities too.
edf67's Full Review: Universal Remote Control URC-6131N Remote Control
I bought this remote and didn't think a lot about it at first. I have 6 remotes hanging around. Friends that come over are confused as to which one does what. And, I have to admit that I get confused sometimes too. I have had lots of "learning remotes" and I haven't been very succesful at getting them to work.
I took the URC 6131 out of the package and braced myself for an extensive set up. I just purchased a Panasonic DMR E80 DVD recorder along with an 8 year old Pioneer Elite Pro-107 big screen TV. I have a harman kardon AVR 310 reciever and a new panasonic VCR. All of these components worked with only plugging in a few codes. I also like the feature of say moving the volume buttons of the reciever to the dvd remote section so that you don't have to go back and forth to change the volume. I haven't yet figured out the master power off feature but this isn't a big deal. I am finally buying a TiVo. The clencer for this remote is that it supports the TiVo and even has the thumbs up and down buttons.
I was going to get their touch screen version, but saw a lot of reviews saying that it cuts on and off with the slightest bump even from a subwoofer. And you have to change rechargable batteries (rechargable because of effeciency) out at least once a month.
I like this because it is like a regular remote. No digital display; hence, the batteries should last for at least 6 months of regular use.
I usually don't write reviews like this, but upon searching for a good all around remote, I couldn't find any good reviews.
Bottom line, forget digital touch screens until some of the color screens come down from the $600 level to the sub $100 level. Buy this. I have no problems with it. I have been burdened by remotes for a long time. My Pioneer Elite Pro-107 was always the catch. I could never get any remotes to switch from video 1,2 or 3 and LD (laser disc in those day for the young). This remote switches these selections. You can't beat it for the price. Hats off to one for all for making this remote. I am going to hide all of my remotes in a drawer. The DVD recording remote will be kept handy for DVD recording. It has a lot of technical buttons on it that I would expect the new $600 touch screen color remote couldn't even do........... I hope that this helps.
