We purchased this for my elderly mother. We programmed it, and it worked, but a few days later she told us it was inoperative.

At this point, all it does is "flash" when pointed at the TV, but it will not control the TV at all! I've taken the batteries out, tried to reprogram it, all to no avail. And I've done this more than once!

I bought one of those "All in Ones", (however, this one just controls the TV), and it seems to be working fine. Sorry to see others have also had trouble with the RCA unit.

Well, I am quite the old lady. I not only need a remote for the bedroom, I need one I can see! This is a sweet little remote. It is not the best, not the worst, but it is seeing some use in my house. It controls the tv just fine. I entered the code once and it has remained. As far as the DVD player, well, it lacks the fine controls, but it does cover the usual ones, as reported.

The backlighting is not the best. I would like to see all the buttons lit, but hey, you get what you pay for. I am getting pretty good at guessing.

If you want to completely get rid of your DVD remote, this one is not for you. But if you want an inexpensive second remote, this baby will do the trick.

Even though the packaging and Web sites says this will work with Hitachi DVD players, it won't. I spent 2 hours going through the elaborate code search process, then called customer service and they said, "Yeah, we get that alot. You might want to buy a Sony remote."
What a waste of time and misleading packaging!!!

I have purchased two of these remotes at different times to use on the Sony tv in my bedroom which I use maybe three hours a night. The first remote kept having to have the code put in every three days or so. I thought it was the batteries so I changed them and reprogrammed the remote. Still, it kept needing reprogamming every few days. I thought that perhaps I had purchased a defective remote so I bought another one. I had the same trouble with it. I will NEVER purchase another RCA remote from anyone.

It doesn't have all the buttons to control all features of various componants. But it does have the main ones we normally use most.

Controls volume, mute, channel, previous channel, ok, input, sleep, info along with the usual vcr/media controls like play pause, etc..

I purchased it mainly because it is backlit and controls 4 devices. So far I am using it with three and all three work just fine. All the buttons do not lite up though. It skips the 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 number buttons. Not a real big deal since you can still see the other numbers from the backlit buttons.

It is smaller than my other remotes and frankly, easier to use. A very good layout.

This was shipped to me from Beach Audio and they came across as VERY straight, honest and wanting to know if everything is ok judging by a the emails they sent me after my order, during shipment and once it was delivered.

I wish all online companies were as concerned about customer service as Beach Audio.

No, I do not work there.
