Digital camera reviews of Sony RM-VL600 8-Device Universal Learning Remote
Digital camera Review: Does what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm sure there are remotes with more features, but this one works great and learns from other remotes just fine. I've had no problems with it, and it's nice to get all the components of my media center on the same remote.Digital camera Review: Nice replacement remote
Summary: 4 Stars
The remote control on my 5-yr. old Sony TV quit. Just quit . . . wouldn't change channels, control volume, anything! Rather than buying a new TV, I started searching for a new remote control.
There are a lot more expensive remotes out there, but this is an inexpensive solution as long as your expectations aren't unusually high. It synched perfectly and instantly with my TV and has all the functions of the original except there is no backlight, which I do miss.
There is a code for a Panasonic DVR, but it doesn't work with mine, probably because mine is an older model with a hard drive. It's not so important to me since I prefer using the separate remote, so I haven't pursued the "searching" method and can't comment on the effectiveness of that.
I've had universal remotes in the past where some functions would only work with certain models or makes, but I haven't found that to be true with this one. Even the sleep timer works perfectly!
All in all, it's an excellent buy and I consider the money well spent. 4 stars instead of 5 because of the lack of a backlight and the DVR code not working.
Digital camera Review: What a bargin!
Summary: 5 Stars
Searched around looking for a replacement for my FIOS remote. The remote Verizon provided died and the replacment remote died so I decided to find something that would work with all of my components. TV, STB, Reciever, DVD.. this remote is the perfect solution for my needs. After about 30 minutes I had the remote programmed and working. I had to use the learning function for most of the features but once I knew how to set it up it was easy to get everything connected and working. All this for much much much less then the Harmony remote. Lets face it, I have 3 kids and a dog and chances of this thing getting stepped on, sat on, dropped, lost between the cushions etc are pretty good. I'd much rather loose this one than loose one that costs well over a hundred dollars! Great product for a great price.Digital camera Review: Love this remote
Summary: 5 Stars
Does exactly what I wanted. I have my TV sound running through my amp, and didn't want to use two remotes to watch TV.
This remote does the trick. now I only need one...!!!
Digital camera Review: Does What You Need
Summary: 4 Stars
The only problem with this remote is that it has that 'el-cheapo', numb, non-positive button feel that makes operating it less than a joy. This is par for the course now-a-days with your average remotes, and for people with exceptionally strong grips like myself, it usually results in the volume-up button getting worn out in about a year. Unless you are an extraordinarily cheap bastard, this shouldn't be a concern given the price; and as stated elsewhere, the functionality is definitely there in spades.
