Digital camera reviews of Universal Remote URC300 15 Device Universal Remote Control (Silver & Black)
Digital camera Review: Great remote!
Summary: 5 Stars
After being terribly dissappointed with the performance of my Sony remote commander av-3000, I took a chance with this one after reading all the reviews submitted by other buyers. This truly is the nicest remote I've bought to date!
The set-up is very easy either with the manual or the dvd. I programmed my Sony big screen, vcr, receiver, and dvd player in 10 minutes with the simple code entering program. I also was able to program my JVC karaoke player(which is very complicated) in about 15 minutes with the learn function. The instructions are very simple to understand in the manual.
Some of the nicer features are the touch screen display, the punch thru macro, and the ability to rename and reprogram the buttons even with already having programmed the remote with other codes. You can rename and reprogram as much as you want! The remote has a nice feel to it. Not too heavy or awkward at all. Very easy to use with one hand. Also, the backlight button is the best! It not only lights up the display screen, but also ALL the buttons on the remote(very handy in the dark!)
The only drawbacks that I see are the fact that you cannot turn the remote completely off (but since the display is a regular black lcd, it shouldn't take too much juice from the batteries) and I noticed a similiar complaint that the backlight only works best completely in the dark, not in a semi lit room (but there are backlight adjustments built into the unit so I think you could work something out)
Overall, I'm very happy with this remote.
Digital camera Review: Great remote.
Summary: 4 Stars
Love this remote. Finally a remote that can control everything! I had mixed success with previous universal remotes. The primary problem was finding one that controlled my DishNetwork DVR without breaking the bank. The only real draw back to this remote is lack of some sort of tactile response for the keys on the screen. With larger fingers, sometimes it is difficult to hit the words correctly, but that is not too big a deal. Follow the instructions and use the thing for a while before launching into programming it and you'll do fine. It is a bit of a hassle to program (can't edit macros), but heck, once you have it right, your done! It does take a little patience to figure out how to get everything in there and working, but it just takes a little time. I basically did one macro at a time, used it for a while, figured out what tweaks would make it perfect and then re-did it. A truly universal remote for a great price!Digital camera Review: Great! Much better than Harmony
Summary: 5 Stars
Much better than anything Logitech has ever made. I went through two Logitech Harmonys before finding this remote. Both of the Logitechs broke within 6 months. Just the feel of this remote compared with the Logitech indicates the far superior craftsmanship. The setup is easy, everything is under control and all is good.Digital camera Review: I highly recommend this remote control
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not going to waste your time with a long wordy review. Suffice it to say that I have had absolutely no complaints with this remote. It's very user-friendly and has performed even better than I had expected or hoped. If you're looking for a universal remote, I highly recommend this one. One thing I must say is the learning function is superb because I own some slightly esoteric equipment but that didn't bother the URC300 in the slightest.Digital camera Review: It's all in the Programming
Summary: 5 Stars
It's all in the programming. If you have surround sound, dvd player, or pretty much anything, you can set it up to turn on and configure everything with 2 clicks, or one click if you can figure it out. For instance, to turn on the tv, I press the touch screen TV button, then the on button, and it turns on my surround sound receiver and TV. When you need your DVD, you can program it to turn on the DVD, open it, configure your TV for the correct DVD input, and whatever else you need to do to get the DVD going. And all you need to do is to Press the touch screen DVD button, and then the on button, and wala, your watching a DVD. And then it will take you back to the TV by reverse programming. It is so easy, My Wife figured it out immediately.
I researched the web, and this is the best bang for the buck, and is several hundred dollars cheaper the more expensive ones that do the same thing. If you have a cabinet with all components in it, and would like it to work through doors, or walls, get the Power Blaster, which converts RF (radio) signals.
This is a 5 star clicker.
