Progamming up is very easy , buttons are laid out very well. This "is" the last remote you'll ever need. I have another previous model and could not be happier. The light is a good idea when your watching your favorite shows at night , but this model has a "red" light back ground illumination which is very hard to see. The other model had a normal "greenish white" back ground which worked well. I'm not sure why they chnaged it , they should go back to it. I would have rated it 5 stars otherwise due to hard to see lighting..

I have used various brands of universal remotes over the past 12 years, and I think this one is the best. I have never yet been able to get one remote to control all my components satisfactorily until now.

I just bought a new Sharp Aquos TV, Panasonic Blu-Ray, and Onkyo 100 watt receiver. Plus I have an AT&T Uverse Motorola box. Since some of these items are brand new, no remote codes would work (although the Onkyo remote came close).

This remote did not have the preprogrammed codes either...BUT...you can program this remote to do everything your other remotes do. It took an hour or so, but now it works ALL COMPONENTS! Woo hoo! I especially like the fact that it has specific Receiver buttons (like DTS, THX, DD) that MOST universal remotes do NOT have. So when I want to switch to THX sound, I just press Shift+THX on my remote and it switches...just like my receiver's remote would.

Plus, this remote's macro capability is endless...and it includes a Pause control so that you can make the macro pause for several seconds (while a component is turning on, for instance) before moving to the next step. This is VERY handy for slow starting components like Blu-Ray players and high-end Receivers.

The buttons are VERY well placed, and the light button on the side is ingenious.

It will take some time to get this set the way you want...but it is well-worth it!

It does work well, feels good in my hand, and does more than I needed it to do. I personally like this remote compared to some of others I have used. The remote controls my DTV receiver with the optional RF blaster unit, the Panasonic plasma TV, the VCR, DVD and probably anything I would want in the future. Be prepared to spend time programming the special functions, like turning the TV power off when you are using the remote on the VCR function, as an example...but everything does work on it, even the pretty red lighted buttons that you can see if you come from the planet Mars.

This is the last remote you will ever need. I love this remote, it controls everything, lights, stereo, TV, or anything with IR acceptance. Use the blaster to control anything in the house, upstairs, behind the wall, from the garage, through brick, whatever you need, it will do (at least this is my experience), and without the price of those other fancy remotes. I like the # of keys too, you can control multiple items with ever switch to a differnt function. Just becuase it says "Stereo", doenst mean you cannot control the TV at the same time, also using the shift key will all you to contol the TV volume while in Stereo mode. VERY Convient

I really like this universal remote. It's fully programmable for the difficult components and,
along with the RF powerblaster, line of sight is no longer necessary.

If you want to only have 1 remote - this is it! You can program any button to do anything you want. You can program "macros" to power on or off multiple devices, even tuning in to your favorite station in the process. We bought this with the "Master Blaster" so we could take the remote out back and control the living room stereo (that broadcasts to the outside speakers). The reach is great - goes through multiple walls with no problems.

We have been using this remote with the power blaster hidden in our built-ins for over two years. The range is incredible, and the ease for programming all of our components is great. We have been very pleased.

It does what it claims. Like many analog universals, it needs to be manyally programmed, but onec that's done it works well. If you don't want to get into the high cost of the new-fangled digital remotes, this one will be fine.

I bought the RF-10 URC as a second unit as I already have the RF-10 and the Blaster. Works very well with the Dish Network HD receiver that has only Infared control. The RF-to-Ir is a must have for anywhere-in-the-house control. Easy to setup and program.

This is a great remote and works wonderfully. However, it will do a few macros, but does not do discrete power. If you need a basic remote to control everything without many extra features, this is great. If you need more control and fancier operations I recommend the RF20.
