Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Save space on your coffee table while simplifying your electronics collection with this RCA universal remote control, which operates your TV, VCR, and cable box regardless of the brand. Outfitted in an attractive black housing that complements most components, the palm-sized remote is simple to use and fits snugly in the hand. It includes such VCR-specific buttons as rewind, play, fast forward, record, pause, and stop, while its TV buttons include channel recall, which returns you to a previous station, along with standard mute, channel, and volume options. Every bit as valuable is the unit's extensive code library, which makes it possible to control all but the most obscure devices.

To help users get started right out of the box, the remote is preprogrammed for use with several RCA devices and also comes with code lists for the most common TV, VCR, and cable box brands. Additional features include a code saver (lets you change batteries without losing the codes), a menu key, and a sleep timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap remote-sheer laziness for me!, January 23, 2006

We have a tiny TV in the bedroom and we needed a cheap remote. But this was great for the pricec we paid and also it works with TV, VCR, etc. It also is pretty comfortable to use in terms of button sizes. Our TV is pretty old, but we found a code in the handbook for that and from that day on, we dont get up to shut it off, just before we sleep. It's been sheer laziness, aha!

I bought this for my 90 year old mother and she received it quickly. My nephew programmed it to fit her old RCA TV in short order. Given the age of the TV, I was concerned the remote couldn't be programmed to match the set-no problem there. My mother reports it works great. So far, so good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't work with my DVD player, November 27, 2003

This is a really good remote for my Panasonic TV and Sony VCR, but it won't work with my GE DVD player. I have a 6-device RCA Universal Remote, and it don't work either.

My TV have 3 modes: radio, video, and TV. I have to use my TV remote to put the TV on video mode to watch DVDs. This remote doesn't have a botton to do that.

I lost the VCR remote and that was the whole reason for buying this one. It does serve that purpose, quite well.
