RCA VH920 Video Source Selector

Summary: Poor functionality
Review: This unit claims to be able to recognize IR freqs from remotes, but really doesn't seem to be able to do it everytime. It will "see" the signal for programming (learning), but it will not work with all of them once it stores it. (2 out 5 of my inputs will switch like they are programmed to). Basically, it's pot-luck as to what kind remotes it can respond to. Hint: it can not hear a TIVO remote at all (any buttons) or a General Instruments digital cable box remote (ANY keys) with any consistency.

Summary: Ok if you have 3 hours
Review: This unit is ok, but the main problem with it is that the programing features is none but JUNK! Unless you take your universal remote and go through each code until it works, For me the only remote codes that worked was RCA and ONKYO. It is really too bad they didn't have a seperate remote. Overall if you own all RCA products in you home theater get this!!! But if you are like me and own mosty Sony you might wanna pass unless you want to get up every time to switch it.

Summary: In a world of Multi-Media, Where is the Multi Out?
Review: To begin with, I have not purchased this product but have had a lot of experience with this type of item over the last several years. I was glad to see a home router system that includes inputs for Standard Video or S-VHS (although most people who are concerned with these options, probably have this capability through their A/V receiver)but I was very disappointed to see that the only output was to the television set. Have we forgotten the attachment of videotape machines or the forthcoming recordable DVD machines. I am looking for a quality system (which RCA usually is) with the versatility of not being outdated within twelve months.

Summary: Pass on this one!
Review: Yes, this unit does work remotely - provided you have good coordination and a long stick! It would only "learn" one of my A/V device remotes (all happen to be Sony). To Amazon's credit, they are selling at a price $... less than the competition, which makes it competitive with other non-remote (get up off your behind - walk over - push the button) type switches. If you're just looking for a good switch with lots of connections, this could be a good choice at Amazon's price. Just don't count on getting it to work from across the room.
