Pros: Functionality, Cost, Functionality, simplicity, Functionality, ...did I say functionality Cons: uh...uh...can be a little overwhelming to...well none.
This is by far the most useful device in my home entertainment set of stuff and naturally cost the least! I have an eclectic mix of components...with a Sony 5 disk CD player being the first carousel that Sony ever manufactured...and the remote has a ...
Pros: It's a Sony. Looks Good and feels good in your hand. Good value. Cons: Could use about 5 more buttons. Can't learn everything. instructions are not the best.
The home theater setup in my apartment pretty simple. TV, Receiver, VCR, and DVD player. So a grand total of 4 remotes. I suppose I could deal with having 4 remotes on the coffee table, but I hate clutter.
Pros: Lightweight, learning feature, Number of devices that can be controlled. Cons: Limited range, Does not accurately control some devices, Need more buttons
I have the Sony RM-VL700S which is silver instead of black but still the same remote. I purchased this remote from BestBuy after a decision to replace the original Sony remote that came with my 32in Sony Wega.
Pros: Learning mode - never miss your important buttons; 5 devices Cons: Could use a lighted keypad
As a new owner of a home theater system, I quickly got tired of juggling a remote for the sound, a remote for the video, and a remote for the big-screen.
The true test of a Universal Remote is whether you can put the other remotes away and...
Pros: Custom learning function is what sets this above the rest Cons: shape is a bit clunky, size a bit large for my taste
Overall, this is a great remote control. The ability to custom learn commands is key for me: my TV remote does not fit a standard 'code', so that needs to be learned. Also, custom learning allows me to do things like change the way the remote works...
Pros: Good range & performance
Good ergonomics
Simple & effective learning functionality Cons: No real macro capability
No backlight on keys
I'd tried several pre-programmed remotes (with codes), and always ran into the problem that they don't program all the keys I need. So even with a universal remote, I still needed all those other remotes cluttering the coffee table. A learning ...
Pros: Simple Powerful and easy, well built, strong.
Saves space on coffee table Cons: Could use a few (3-6) more buttons
I have had this remote for a little over 2 years now and it is undoubtedly the best remote you can get for $30 bucks. All the remotes it replaced (5) are tucked away gathering dust What makes it so good is it's simplicity - most other learning remotes ...
Pros: Good learner ... Good performer ... Low price ... It's a keeper Cons: Typically obtuse English in manual ... Unlearning is cantankerous
I wanted a multi-function learning remote that would replace my current four (receiver, TV, DVD, VHS). I've tried and returned several; some had trouble learning or transmitting, some were way over my head, my budget and/or my needs.
