Summary: Not for DVD players
Review: Ergonomics is slightly awkward. My wife thought it was too unwieldy for smaller hands. The channel +/- buttons have to be very firmly pressed. Although the backlit keys are nice, they make a distinct high pitched hum everytime you press a button and for the two seconds the lights remain on. Jensen replied that is "normal for (their) backlit remotes controls."However, the biggest problem that i have with this is that it has no "Enter" key equivalent for dvd menus which to me makes it totally useless for dvd control. On the other hand, the Jensen tech support is pretty good.

Summary: Receiver problems
Review: Had a universal that controlled the basics of my system, but wanted one that could do more with my Denon receiver. The package and materials indicated this was the remote for me. No problems with my JVC TV and JVC VCR, but not only would it not do more with my receiver, it did nothing with it except power it on and off. No volume, no input switching, no speaker adjustments, no surround mode changing. In fact, it did less than the one I already had.

Summary: Not for DVD players
Review: I agree w/the previous review - the remote does not operate the menus on my Toshiba or Pioneer DVD player. You'll get play, rew, for, pause, on/off, maybe subtitles and precious few other one button functions - same as cheaper remotes. VCR and TV functions are covered well (both Toshibas). You can actually program your VCR w/it unlike some of the other cheap remotes. PIP too. The 590's got big backlit buttons , but the layout isn't the greatest and the buttons don't always register even when pressing hard. Backlighting isn't as great a feature as I thought - sometimes you hit the wrong button just to get it to flash and then it flashes too briefly as you're racing to find the right button. Forget using it in a darkened room. A Very basic remote. Cheaper ones do the same for DVD and receivers (Onkyo).Better than average for VCR and TV. Backlighting more of a gimmick than feature.

Summary: Be careful !
Review: I bought it, and it worked well with my Panasonic VCR, Sony DVD, Sony TV and RCA Satellite System, but it doesn't support my AIWA A/V Receiver, which means that I lost my money, because I still need the Receiver's original R.C. to control the volume and the sound system functions...

Summary: wish i read reviews before buying
Review: I was very excited to receive my jensen remote control. It was pretty easy to program, nice backlighting. But could not get it to work with my denon avr900, which rendered it useless to me. So sad, I sent it back to amazon, which very kindly paid the shipping. I am still looking for a good remote for around the same price. The search continues.....

Summary: Controls almost everything
Review: Product worked great except it would not control my cable box (General Instruments - digital cable) I called the support phone and once they answered they told me it would not work on my cable box, but I could return it. For the price it wasn't worth returning it. This makes it useless for me. If it would have controlled everything it is a very nice unit and very easy to use. The backlit pad is nice and it is comfortable to hold. Lots of nice features too.

Summary: Increase Color but not decrease
Review: Some function work and some don't. On control of TV cannel up and down as well as volume up and down work ok but the control of menu of color increase or any other function worked to incease but would not allow decrease. I have another unit to access the function this one doesn't work and between the to controls I am able to operate. In other words the R- function of the controler does not work.
