2.0 out of 5 stars Why, Jensen, why?, April 11, 2000

By	Brian LaShomb "bshomb" (Brooklyn Center, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This just goes to show you that even a little research pays off. This remote looks very nice and is backlit, but it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. It wouldn't work for my Denon AVR-3300 ( a very popular receiver) or my Sony MiniDisc deck or my Apex DVD player. Jensen support consists of a message board where everyone wants to know why the remote won't control anything. I came across a great site called RemoteCentral and there was a HUGE thread of users of the RadioShack 15-1994. Controls all my stuff and the code and internet support is very good. And it has macros! Backlit too! Only controls six devices though. But if you can get this remote to control that many you are lucky.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not useful for DVD Player, December 21, 1999

By	GrayD "GrayD" (Wayne, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Ergonomics is slightly awkward. My wife thought it was too unwieldy for smaller hands. The channel +/- buttons have to be very firmly pressed. Although the backlit keys are nice, they make a distinct high pitched hum everytime you press a button and for the two seconds the lights remain on. Jensen replied that is "normal for (their) backlit remotes controls."

However, the biggest problem that i have with this is that it has no "Enter" key equivalent for dvd menus which to me makes it totally useless for dvd control. On the other hand, the Jensen tech support is pretty good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 11, 1999

By A Customer

This remote is so large that I need both hands to use it. It has no "eject" function and no "clear" function, so if you make a mistake programming the VCR, you have to start all over again. There is no VCR Plus button, so you can't use the codes in the TV Guide. The worst is that there is no "status" function, so if you are advancing a tape in the VCR, the only way to see where you are on the tape is to stop the tape!
