Great Deal! Lifesaver also -
This is my first universal remote. I have done tons of research to figure out what I needed and how much I was willing to spend. Originally I was going for one of the Logitech Harmonies (550, 720, 880 and One were the contenders)but after discovering cheaper remotes would do just as well for my humble set up (I only have 4 items - Sharp Aquos; Panasonic Blu-ray; Yamaha receiver; Scientific Atlantic Explorer HD DVR) I decided to take it down a few notches and focus on the lower end models.

Excellent Learning Remote, Bargain Price!
I've used a Sony RM-VL900 remote since 2002 and have been pleased with it except that it only had 35 buttons to program all functions from my original remotes each of which usually had more buttons. I could make do but occasionally would need the original to accomplish a function. As I updated my HDTV, added a HiDef DVD player and other devices it was time to replace my remote. So I thought I'd give the new RM-VL610N a try since the older Sony worked so well in its day.
The RM-VL610 o...

Almost 5 Star Remote, but nothing beats it at this price
I have been going back and forth between cheaper/less functional remotes and expensive/fancy remotes like Logitech. And I am glad I snatched this off Amazon @ $22 with free shipping.
I took a few pictures and added those to the gallery, feel free to browse through them for most of my comments.
I played with the remote for a while and first impressions were that the changeable back covers - although a nice touch - are not really necessary. I could have lived with a single c...

good value
I bought this remote because the other remotes I bought at local stores would not operate my Toshiba DVD recorder D-R560. I wanted to operate my TV and DVR with one remote and did not want to spend a lot of money on the high end remotes. This one does exactly what I needed without breaking the bank.

Does what it mean to do.
For the price you can't ask for more. I personalized each and every button to adapt it to my preferences. I'm currently using it as the only remote in the room, for Sony LCD, Motorola DVR, Sony Amplifier, Even a Mac Mini using the learning function. Everyone should be pleased with this piece.
At first, looked for a Harmony one, but I can't justify the price for the functions.
Not perfect... but nearly.

Finally found one that works with my old stuff
This was my third remote this week. and the only one that works with my setup.
I have Vizio TV the Logitech harmony set it up both didn't include it as a TV.
I have old (for tech stuff) Toshiba and Pioneer DVR's this is the first remote EVER that has had codes that worked for them. I had to lean a few keys as the setup didn't include all that I use.
But I'm thrilled to finally have one remote on my end table.
An inexpensive solution and a good one.

A remote with limited function
I recently bought a Logitech 550 and are very happy with it. Then I thought I can get a Sony 610 to do the same but with a cheap price. I was very dispointed. First, the Sony 610 cannot even control their own Bluray player. I checked the Sony website and confirmed this is true. Then I found that it cannot control a Philips DVD player. For the uncontrolable device, you have to teach them with the original remote control. I thought that I can live with that. After I programmed the activity, I foun...

Befuddlable
I'm pretty sure that DOES what it says it can - also, doing the basic thing was perfectly simple: nearly set it down with the old remote, it worked like a charm. But to the next step, programming all of my remotes (as I say - I believe it can), evidently I need tech support because it doesn't seem as if written in another language than English.
I love having all of the buttons working again (the old one was shot, especially the 'mute'). It's incredibly responsive, so I love that.

Sony RMVL610B Remote Commander - Bright Pack
This is my first universal remote so I don't have anything to compare it to. All I know is that it works great for my particular setup. I have a 50" Panasonic plasma, Direct TV HD receiver, Oppo dvd player and a Yamaha receiver. It controls everything just fine. It did not list a code for the Oppo but the learning function worked to perfection. Took about 45 minutes to program for all of my components. Macron buttons work like a charm also. I have one set for just TV that cuts on the plasma, cut...
