| bqbq's Full Review: Sony RM-VL900 Remote Control |
This is a very good product, especially for the price. The remotes for my TV, DVD player, receiver and VCR are now in a drawer as this one easily does every mainstream function needed. Occasionally, though, it's still necessary to get the original remote, but that's pretty rare.
I was surprised that it didn't have the codes for Pioneer Elite DVD players, so that was a bit of manual work. It would sure be useful if it had support for more system macros, with more steps per macro. 16 steps sounds like a lot until you use them. Come on, Sony. Memory is cheap!
In daily use, it's been very convenient. It has good balance and doesn't weigh too much. It's easy to use and others seem to catch on to it quickly. An odd feature, buttons light up when you press them. That's a nice confirmation that you pressed a button, but it's useless if you though you'd see the button better. My fingers aren't transparent!
I don't have a cable box or satellite, so I can't say how it would work in those applications. For my needs today, it's been a real convenience.
I paid $46 for this remote from an online merchant... that was the price shipped to my door.
