I have all name brand electronics... all of which were listed in the code number listing for this remote. Panasonic plasma TV, Panasonic audio receiver, Philips DVD Player, and Scientific Atlanta digital cable box. This remote wouldn't operate a single function on ANY of them. Wouldn't even power them on/off. Before you go assuming I just don't know what I'm doing, I've programmed several such remotes, and done extensive work with home, car, and office electronics. I ended up getting a philips remote for much less that controlled all of them with no problem at all.

this remote will work great if your equiptment is older, however be warned that it has limited to no functionality on some newer tvs and components.

Nice remote for a cheap price, but it didn't work for me. I used all 5 codes for my brand of TV, and although most buttons worked, the "sleep" button didn't. That's something I use every night. There is a dedicated Sleep button on this remote, but didn't work for me. None of the 3 codes for my Sharp DVD player worked at all. Power button wouldn't work for my CD player, although it would play fine if CD was manually powered on.

But the biggest problem is, there is no Program button on the remote anywhere for VCR mode. How are you supposed to program a VCR to record shows with no button to get into the program screen?

WORKS JUST LIKE IT SAID IT WOULD. I PUT THE BATTERIES IN AND POINTED IT AT THE TV AND IT WORKED GREAT!

I purchased this remote to replace my lost Sony DVD remote control and to consolidate all my remote controls to one. It works with my DVD player and Sharp TV. I thought I could use it for my Direct TV/TIVO satellite receiver/DVR combo. There was no code available for any satellite receiver/DVR combo. I still have to use 2 remote controls. Had I known, I would not have purchased this remote.

Timely delivery,packaged well,a great price. Great Remote. Like the fact you don't have to re-progam when changing batteries

I have had a number of multi-brand remotes, some even cheaper than this one, and this is the worst. It suggests it can do much more than it can. Not only can it not program my VCR, it would not even allow me to change channels by entering the channel number. I had to go through each one. Control of my audio components was horrible. It would do some things, but not other more important ones. I tried all suggested codes for my devices, and went through the instructions exhaustively, but nothing helped. Also, there is no backlighting. This may work OK for some brands, but not for my major brand components. The only thing it worked well for was its own brand, Sony. You can do much better with practically any other cheap remote.

This seemed like a great universal for a great price, but after trying all the listed codes for my TV and cable box, I had to go through the longer procedure to search for codes. Then, the TV/Video button still didn't operate my Hitachi TV. Sony tech support says that there is no way to make it work. If the preset codes don't work, then there are bound to be some of the buttons that aren't going to function.

This remote worked on an older Sylvania TV. I bought mine refurbished so I was a little concerned that it wouldn't work. Not the case. Works fine. Does what it's supposed. Doesn't come with batteries. The setup took 5 seconds, 10 if you count putting in AA batteries.

I bought this as a replacement remote for my tv. I have wouldn't get this because personally I think it's overprice and doesn't work very well. The remote itself is big and bulky and it won't let you work the Menu function on your TV. I got the OneForAll 3021 Universal Remote for less and it works WAY better with better reviews. Get that.
