Summary:
This remote will not work with my new Panasonic TV. None of the codes work. I am angry; it's supposed to be universal, yet it clearly is not. I will return it immediately.

Strengths:
It's silver in color.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't work!

Price Paid:  $16.00

Summary:
Waste of money. Will not operate on Tocom Cable Box. The only working code (2000 for Tocom) will only change the volume and channels (up/down). Numeric keypad and power button will not work unless I hold the remote within 2 inches to the cable box. This is because with code 2000, the signal is sent as a single "ping" instead of continuous stream (green light blinks once while button is pressed). Why do they do that???? For my Sony XBR I had to switch between 2 different codes in order to access all menu features. My 10 years old Zenith universal remote works heck of a lot better for that matter!! Do not buy it even if you have to spend a buck!!!

Strengths:
Would not know. Through it in the garbage in an hour after it refused to operate my Cable Box.

Weaknesses:
How should I put.. Does not work!!!

Price Paid:  $41.00 from International Stereo

Summary:
The second universal remote replacement I had to buy because my dog had eaten my last one, it's not what I was told when I bought it. I received no instructions manual in the box, and the disappointing remote cannot be returned because I got it on sale. Don't bother wasting your money.

Strengths:
None.

Weaknesses:
The fact that you have to punch in a bunch of different numbers and codes to turn on the TV; and everything else that it doesn't do.

Price Paid:  $0.00 from store

Summary:
I found this waas a great product, finally i could controll many of my componets, without switching remotes, made life allot easier

Strengths:
the fact that it could controll all these other things. And the fact that it looks more sylish.

Weaknesses:
i find you have to push the button hard sometimes to get it to work.

Summary:
Don't waste your time thinking you'll be able to find a quality product at your local department store. Order the Sony RMV900. My friend, the local audiophile prefers the latter.

Strengths:
My dogs haven't eaten it yet.

Weaknesses:
My dogs haven't eaten it yet. It's programming & learning functions are virtually useless. It did not operate specific components identified in the manual. Jenson customer support was not helpful at all.
