Summary: I wish I'd found this remote a long time ago!!!
Review: After inadvertently spilling some liquid on our Zenith TV remote, it was time to find a replacement of some sort. Zenith wanted $33.00 for an OEM replacement (which is too much) and we found this Sony universal remote instead! Not only did it automatically work *great* on our Sony receiver and DVD player, but it was a breeze to setup for use with our Zenith TV -- all the functions we had before! An added bonus was finding that it would also control our Sharp VCR! Very cool!All I can say is "Thanks, Sony! -- you've saved us a lot of remote juggling *and* a few dollars as well!" Highly recommended.

Summary: Excellant Remote!
Review: I bought this one to replace my old remote which wasn't a universal remote. Excellant design and very easy to use. I love it!

Summary: not so useful
Review: I bought this remote with hopes of reducing the juggling of current remotes and have found it to be a great disappointment. I have a Scientific Atlanta digital cable box, Tivo - Series 2, Phillips tv, Samsung 5 disc - dvd player and a RCA vcr. I've only been able to make this remote work with the vcr and have pushed buttons till my fingers ache. None of the codes listed work and neither does the search. There's no indication that the buttons have been pressed hard enough but I'm sure I have. It could be that this one is a dud but after reading the other reviews, I'm returning this remote.

Summary: won't control my SONY receiver
Review: I lost the remote to my receiver, thinking this was a Sony remote, it has to work right? WRONG! Works great with everything else though. Thought maybe the problem was my receiver, but apparently someone else had the same problem with their Sony receiver as well.

Summary: Bad Programming
Review: It worked fine with the Sony TV and DVD. It could not be programmed to work with the Toshiba VCR or the RCA DirectTV satelite receiver. The entire point was to find a remote that would get them all to work. I already have the Sony TV remote that could handle the DVD and TV. Very Disappointing! Their support number just had an automated system which did not address this problem. Most of the options said you need to change batteries or turn on the device. Not helpful at all.

Summary: Annoying remote
Review: It worked for my Pioneer Receiver and my Panasonic 5 disk DVD changer (but I couldn't change disks). It did NOT work for my Sylvania TV or my JVC VCR at all. Also, the buttons on the remote are very mushy and there is no indication that you are actually pressing any buttons (like a light or a click noise). All in all: not a good remote. I will say this for it, it is more ergonomically friendly than most of the remotes that came with my systems. So back to the store it goes.

Summary: Worked well for me
Review: Looking at all the other reviews, I got the feeling that this remote is getting a bit of a bum rap. Admittedly, I'm only using it to control my Sharp TV and a JVC DVD/VCR combo, but it works flawlessly. It also figures out that if you are touching volume up/down you want to change the volume on the TV (I thought you'd have to hit the TV button, then do volume changes).
