High-end features, low-end price, but...

by teamw23 , Jan 16 '03
Pros: Macro functions, keys can be relabeled, will fully replicate remotes it replaces.
Cons: Somewhat slow, the screen is unresponsive. Have to use stylus or screen gets smudged.
Like every other electronics geek out there, my den is strewn with remote controls. Just turning on the TV and its associated accessories (ReplayTV, Surround Sound System etc.) was a multi-function nightmare.

I wanted a flexible...

Nice try...but it just doesn't cut it.

by yoyodyne , Sep 03 '02
Pros: good looking and cheap.
Cons: learning another remotes function & man....is....it.....slow.....
Right now I have this and the Sony RM-AV3000 in my living room. The RCA is a cool design and I so wanted it to work but it feels like it's on quaaludes. Every time you press a button you.....have......to.....wait.... Also the touchscreen is not very...

Spent the money, now I don't use it.

by fizz71 , Jan 29 '03
Pros: Very flexible and high tech feeling.
Cons: Very slow, cumbersome, KILLER on batteries, and a little too complicated.
I thought this remote would be a great universal remote and I will admit that it is very flexible with its layout and the learning features are up to par, but the remote just falls short. Here's why:

It's very bulky, if you like to sit and...

So close, and yet.....

by earlyadopter , Jan 03 '03
Pros: Good overall case design, buttons can be relabeled or left blank.
Cons: Very slow to send signals, touchscreen not responsive.
I decided on the RCA 1000B without doing any research other than reading it's box and those of two other Sony learning remotes at my local big box store. Both Sonys were more expensive and I liked the rectangular shape of the RCA, even if it was...

Look somewhere else

by larrybud , Dec 16 '02
Pros: Hold a lot of stuff. Good labeling on the button
Cons: Unresponsive, loses it's brains, plows through the batteries
Pretty disappointed in this remote. I had the same experience as another reviewer. Many times you'll hit a button, and the device just won't respond. I've also hit a button, think the device didn't go, then hit it again, and suddenly the signal is...

Universal Remotes

by damonandjohn , Jan 12 '03
Pros: Great Price for potential
Cons: Doesn't work as billed
Great design and possibilities. Very difficult to train AND to work as trained. Will be returning mine unfortunately. Tried some of the built in codes for corresponding remotes and found that they did not work for the most part. The next generation...

Take it back!

by bnertney , Oct 11 '03
Pros: Looks cute
Cons: Everything
Yes, it is cute looking and relatively inexpensive($99.00 at Best Buy.) However, the touch screen is insensitive, slow, and extremely slow. It would turn some of my components off, but not on. The volume control put my HDTV in Spainish mode. It is...
