Review 3 of 9

Price Paid:  $20.00

Summary:
Works great when you set the codes right. Like most universal remotes these days, you need to be able to read, be willing to read the instructions, and perhaps need some native intelligence to set it up for non-RCA devices.

Reading some of the other reviews, it appears those reviewers were missing some of the above. (I'm amazed how often in Internet product reviews, people blame the product for their own shortcomings.)

Strengths:
Controlling RCA devices.

Weaknesses:
Like nearly all universal remotes, this unit requires care to configure for devices other than the pre-programmed ones.

Review 4 of 9

Summary:
After hours of trying to program this thing, we were only able to get it to operate the TV and a few functions of the VCR. However, if you bump it even lightly, it loses it's program and you have to start over. Worthless piece of junk.
