I can't give it five stars.

I bought this for 100% nostalgic purposes. It controls most of what I have, it just isn't especially attractive in today's day and age. To be fair though I bought a 10 year old remote, so to compare it against new technology isn't advisable. It does what it can, and looks interesting enough doing it. If you can get it for $12 like I did, it's worth it.

A little dated but its size means it will never get lost.

Generally acceptable

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2001

I got it. The result: satisfied in general. It has 2 nice features: it could learn signals from other remotes (it works really good - I was able to record everything I wanted, for example from Sampo DVD/MP3 and old Sharp camcorder) and it could create macro sequences... But - the first problem is that it cannot put "learned" commands into macro... In the result to initialize correctly some of the components you have to press 2 or 3 buttons instead of one (when I want to see DVD - I simply press one DVD button, and all the necessary components in the system are turned on, receiver is switched to correct input, etc. - but in case of non-Sony items you will probably need to press more than one). A bit annoying - and it is a problem of programming, so Sony engineers could have easily solved it. Second drawback is that I cannot assign names for the buttons that I have on that screen. I can only select some of pre-defined names. For example, I wanted to have "Time" button - but I have to select from "Video 1", "<<" and something like that. I understand that this resulted in relatively cheap price, so it could be accepted. If your system includes only Sony components, and they are not too old (my 915 receiver was already a bit old, instead of DVD it had LD, so I had to teach the remote how to switch to DVD) - this remote will be excellent. In other case it is acceptable (I am using it now instead of 7 other remotes), though there are some inconveniences.

Best in its class.

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 1999

Key advantages of this remote over the more expensive Phillips and Harmon Kardon: 12 dedicated device select buttons to instantly change from one device to another; and dedicated Channel and Volume control buttons.
While the touchscreen is nice, be aware that you will lose the tactile feel of your old remotes. On traditional remotes, you can feel which button you're pressing. With touchscreens, you need to look at the remote as you press the button.
The remote is rather bulky and can be difficult to hold in one hand. The display is difficult to see without first pressing the backlight button. Pressing the backlight button all the time to see the touchscreen becomes very annoying. Beware of the poorly written manual; initial setup may be rather tedious.
Overall, this remote will probably provide the best utility for the price. It's not overly elaborate, yet it can learn new IR codes and record up to three macros.

Remote of All Remotes...

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2000

I just got this remote several weeks ago. It's unlike any other remote I've come across. The key feature behind this marvel masterpiece is the backlid LCD screen. Majority of the buttons have been placed on there except for the majorly used buttons, the channels and the volume. Doing so was a great idea of Sony.
Putting the vast majority of the keys to the LCD screen limits the actually mechanism of the remote, which means less likely to wear out the remote due to use. All of the remotes that I've come across have buttons becoming loosened after months of use.
The channel and volume buttons are, I think the best part of the remote. They stay outside the LCD screen which makes them easiler to get to, to use. For other functions, the volume itself is set to default on either the TV or the Tuner itself, making it more convenient to control volume instead of controlling volume on multiple devices.
There are, drawbacks though. There isn't the feel of the remote that people are use to with standard remotes. Such things as the feel of the numeric buttons on the LCD screen, you have to actually look at the remote in order to know what you're actually pressing. Or the PLAY, STOP, FAST FORWARD, REWIND, and PAUSE.
The size of the remote makes it rather bulky and heavy, making it a strain when you hold it for long periods of time. On the bright side, the size makes the remote easy to find and not a task of looking for inside of furniture or around the house.
Another feature on this remote which makes it handy is it's learning option. You can actually 'teach' the remote other IR device signals. This gives the remote it's 'true' universality, because it uses any device's IR signal and takes it to whatever you program it to be on the remote itself. So it's not set to just any set of preset codes in the manual. Making the remote itself able to control any piece of electronics that has an IR receiver.
On a serious downside, the manual is rather vague in the instructions when it comes to programming the remote for powering on multiple devices at once with the 'System Control' buttons. And it's a pain and a headache to figure out how to use the automatic power on timer and power off timer. Besides the negative points, which I rarely use anyway, this remote is a MUST HAVE.
