Sony RM-AV3000 LCD Touchscreen Remote Control

Pros: Works for any equipment that uses a wireless remote.
Cons: It is a little big and the manual sucks. Battery life is not long.

I have bought this remote to remove all the clutter my other remotes bring to my home. So far I have been satisfied. The touch screen is a little sensitive. It should have come with a pda pen but can be bought at a local best buy or office max. It is ...

Pros: Compatible with just everything so far.
Cons: Trying to show relatives how to use it when they are babysitting the kids. ;-)

First off, I have to say that a year ago I thought the hubby was crazy for spending $100 on a remote but, like the Roomba, it was worth it. It's a very cool looking remote and does everything Sony says it does. My hubby has lots of gadgets from various ...

Pros: Does what it claims to do: remote control several devices
Cons: Pricey, battery sucker, 2-hand operation, awkward, heavy, hard to use by touch alone.

I'm posting a review basically comparing two Sony all-in-one remotes: the RM-AV3000 and the RM-VL1000. I originally purchased the larger, lcd-touch-screen RM-AV3000 (or equivalent) a few years ago for all the reasons people get an all-in-one: to cut ...

Pros: Macros (command sequences) are awesome, remote learning is superb
Cons: Cost, Heavy - one-handed operation is tricky

The Sony RM AV3000 has been a life-saver for us. We recently upgraded our AV amp and with all the additional features, we needed a higher-power remote. Since this is currently a heavily reviewed item, I'll skip the specs and typical stuff and give ...

Pros: Relatively cheap, easy to program. Controls most components.
Cons: Haven't found any yet. Seriously I haven't. :)

Here is the 411 folks. I recently purchased this remote and was a little nervous about the purchase considering that all the reviews I read were mixed. There were some concerns about freezing and program issues. Let me just run down my set up before I ...

Pros: Sleek, easily programmable, universal in every way, compatible with everything
Cons: Requires 4 AA batteries, could use glow in the dark buttons

A friend of mine introduced me to this remote a few weeks ago and I was amazed at how practical and easy it was to operate. At first it looks complicated and the first question that comes to mind is compatibility with non-Sony products, but once you ...

Pros: Customization, looks, PRICE!
Cons: Size, poorly-written manual

I was very happy with my Sony RMV-L900 for a couple of years. I eventually found it lacking in a couple of areas. Namely, I had certain functions on certain components that were rarely used. These functions were either not programmed at all, or I could ...

Pros: Extremely versatile, can control up to 18 different items, macro functions are fantastic
Cons: Large size (one gets accustomed quickly)

Beware of other reviews for this product, because they only point out what's bad about this remote. ...

Pros: Incredible control, easy to use, programmable to the max
Cons: Big, heavy

A Little History A while back I purchased a Sony STR-DA555 which I still own and am still immensly happy with it. One of the key features that made me choose the receiver was the remote. It was a touchscreen unit that had amazing versatility ...

Pros: Controls up to 18 devices, easily programmable, great bragging rights for husbands!
Cons: Very large, heavy, awkward-feeling. Drastically over-priced in well-known electronics retailers.

After agonizing for a month over what to get my dear husband for a second wedding anniversary gift, a close friend told me about this incredible universal remote control. She warned me that it was quite pricey (retails for about $200 at Circuit City and...

Pros: Controls virtually everything. Highly programmable. Multi-command macros.
Cons: Large, heavy. Touchscreen hard to see without backlight, and too sensitive. Manual tough to follow.

As with most people reviewing the Sony RM-AV3000, I was looking for the one perfect remote that would let me put away the eight other remotes that were stacked on my coffee table. While there are many multi-function/programmable remotes out there, this...

Pros: Very programmable, Good Battery Life, Good price for what it does, Looks cool.
Cons: Weight, Size, a few minor glitches.

I went looking for an integrated remote for a few reasons:
1) Fumbling with 3 remotes just to watch a DVD was getting tiring.
2) The gadget factor.

I considered a few other remotes before choosing the Sony. (Philips, Kenwood,...

Pros: Does pretty much everything. Hard directional keys. Backlighting can be set to automatic now.
Cons: Proudly displays fingerprints on the touchscreen, manual is terrible.

Two years ago I wrote a review here for the RM-AV2100. Since that time the "2100" has performed flawlessly for me, until a week ago when my son spilled a large cup of water on it and didn't inform me immediately, so it soaked for a while. I thought it...

Pros: Excellent Hard Buttons Easy to Set Up Great Custom Features
Cons: Big for One Hand Use Sucker if Purchased from Best Buy

I've been around Sony's Commander line for a few years. Both of my brothers have the two previous models. When I saw this model come out I had to take a look since it is the biggest improvement the past few years. Sony added more hard buttons to the...

Pros: Easy to use, It can learn from your other remotes! Can do anything!
Cons: Finger prints on screen, need backlight to view screen easily.

I had 6 remotes, now I only have (or need) one! This remote is fantastic!! And easy to use, it can learn from your other remotes, which is great because you can get to your components menu functions. The components that are in my system are as...
