Perfect remote under $25
I bought three of these for my home last week to replace a pile of remotes in my living room, den and bedroom. For each room, I needed at least some of the buttons on each of the remotes to do this or that. No more, thanks to the "learning" function.
You start out, of course, by putting in the code for each device as found in the table in the back of the manual. Under Satellite, DirecTV codes were listed but not my DishTV device. No problem. The "search for correct code" fun...

Amazing value for what you get
I was considering a harmony remote to consolidate my remotes, but I just couldn't justify the price. I've used the pronto when they first came out several years ago, so I'm somewhat familiar with what to expect with features for high end universal remotes.
On to the review, I paid nearly full retail price for this remote (a whopping $23), but I don't regret it because this is a purchase that is actually very useful for me. There are lots of universal remotes on the market, but I chos...

Quite possibly the perfect remote
Several years ago I picked up a Sony RM-VL900. I was amazed at how versatile it was. Easy to program, it did everything, and my wife could easily understand how to use our complex home entertainment system because of it. At the time, I reviewed the remote and gave it 5 stars which it still deserves even 4 years later. To this day I have friends that swear by the other universal remotes they own, yet they always seem to have a pile of original remotes handy to cover stuff their universal rem...

Powerful Solid Learning Remote at Low Cost
Was looking for universal remote from Harmony 6xx series & One For All 89xx series but I don't see the need to install software/cables in order to program a remote....(a remote is suppose to make our life easier, not more complicate..)
Surprisingly, at only twnty & change Sony come out with such a powerful & solid built remote you are not missing much comparing with other remotes that charges hundreds more while offering similar functions. not to mention that there's no need to instal...

Great, inexpensive remote
I was looking for a cheap universal remote (couldn't justify spending $100 - $200 on such a simple device). I have many home theater components, some of which are not well-known brands.
This remote worked perfectly for the name brand components (Sony, Toshiba, etc) and gave me the ability to EASILY program all other buttons by simply pointing my old remotes at it and pressing a button.
The great thing about this device is that it works correctly with an A/V receiver. For ex...

Too cheap to complain too much
This is easily the cheapest fully programmable remote you're likely to find out there, but there are some tradeoffs. It's not very comfortable to hold, the buttons are in weird places, and Sony still doesn't think people need a full set of DVD playback controls for some reason (there's no difference between track forward, fast forward and frame forward in their minds). But if you're like me and don't want to shell out $200 for some backlit Logitech LCD nightmare just to change channels, it'll de...

Excellent learning remote
I have purchased 3 of these units. They are by far the best and cost benificial units I have found. I have purchased 2 Olevia LCD TVs which do not have codes. But with this Sony remote I can teach it everything it needs to know. Plus the ability to use macros makes it one of the best units on the market. I purchased a different brand when the Sony was not available but took it back the next day and got another Sony. This Sony unit is the best.

Great learning remote for the price with a few quirks
This is a really nice learning universal remote especially for the price. If you have an older or no-name box that most universal remotes dont have the codes for this is a good remote to get. The learning mode is easy to use. Essentially you justpoint your existing remote and this one at each other and press the matching buttons on the remotes. It only takes a few minutes. My biggest problem with the remote is that it is missing two obvious buttons the chapter forward back buttons used on all D...

Replaced 4 remotesin 15 minutes
This remote is worth every penny. I had 4 remotes working my TV cable box DVD player and receiver and the all were replaced by the Sony RMVL600. The learning feature learned every button I sent it. For about $75 less than some remotes this seems todo the same exact things.
