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. The remote also comes with a pair of AAA batteries and is backed by a 90-day warranty.

Remote, two AAA batteries, user's manual.

Cheap remote-sheer laziness for me!.......2006-01-24
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!
Don't work with my DVD player.......2003-11-27
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.

good so far.......2007-03-04
Only had it for a couple of days - but for the money, it's the best universal remote I have found so far.
I am only using it for my television - so I can't speak as to how well it works for multiple units.
Good, nothing out of this world though........2007-01-05
Good control, but nothing out of this world though.

Fairly pleased.......2007-03-15
Works well enough, but some of the controls are odd. For instance one button is used to turn on the tv ("TV"), while an entirely different one is used to turn it off ("Power"). Also, it is not very compatible with the RCA TV's that include the "Guide Plus" menu. There is no menu button, no exit button, and no guide button, so it is always interesting to try to clear the guide screen once the TV is turned on, and once it is cleared it is impossible to bring it back up with out turning the tv off then on again.
I was able to find my signal well though and have not had any connectivity problems, so it does its job. Overall, I'd say it is as expected for an $8 remote and you would probably get your money's worth, especially if you don't have a guide menu or anything like that. Oh and a caveat, I did not try it with a DVD player or Cable box or anything like that, so I couldn't tell you how it works as far as those electronics go.

Ok remote, but has some issues.......2006-09-20
I purchased this device specifically to control my DVD player after I lost the original remote. Now granted, my DVD player is Panasonic, but given the fact that this is supposedly a UNIVERSAL remote, I was hoping for the best. Unfortunately, things have not gone very smoothly. The main problem with the remote is that while it will do most of the functions of the original remote, it will only perform these functions temporarily. Occasionally I have to reprogram the remote to interact with the DVD player. Also (and I find this slightly odd) after pushing any button on the remote, the light at the top will flash for a minute or two. If you do not push any other buttons (because you are, for example, watching a movie) then the remote will no longer function for anything other than play, pause, and power. In order to regain function, you must push menu or even turn the whole DVD player off and restart. That is highly inconvenient, especially when navigating special features or interactive menus.
There are a couple of aspects that I like about the remote. The style is convenient and fits easily in your hand. The buttons are convenient and easy to use. Programming the remote is relatively easy (good thing since I have to do it regularly), and I like that it can light up to be seen in the dark.
Overall, I'd say this is an average product. If you don't mind being frustrated with the spotty functioning with some devices, you might be satisfied with this remote. Also remember that different brands (of TVs, DVD players, etc.) will have different levels of functioning.

Nice remote, but crashes too easily.......2007-03-11
We bought this remote control a few weeks ago to replace our TV remote, which died.
It's a very nice remote: It's simple, comfortable to hold, the buttons are easy to push and have a nice feel, and the backlight seems like a useful feature.
IMPORTANT TIP: We only use this remote to control the TV, and so we only programmed in a TV device. However, when we did that, if we ever pushed the record button by accident, that would cause the remote to "crash," and get into a state in which nothing worked. To recover from that state, I would need to take out the batteries, reset the remote, and then reprogram it. The solution (I believe---I just figured this out) is to program in a fake vcr device (just pick any setting for it, since it doesn't matter). Since I've done that, the remote no longer seems to crash, at least when I click record accidentily.
[Update: This fix doesn't work. It's still really easy to crash the remote and get it into a state where it needs to be reprogrammed. It seems to happen once every few weeks. So I'm downgrading my review to 2 stars. Buy something else.]

RCA Universal Remote Control.......2007-05-14
This is a nice remote. I have owned a few of these but kids and dogs take their toll. These are great for running all your devices.
not a happy shopper.......2004-02-21
i recently purchased the above item and in turn received another remote in its place after the seller emailed me back to say this is not the item anymore, but i am now out of $16 for an item i don't want, so this is not the item you're purchasing!
Great Remote from RCA.......2004-02-08
I am really happy to have found this remote to consolidate and replace remotes for all of my devices. I have a Pioneer large screen TV, Sony VCR , Panasonic DVD, and Magnavox DSS Satellite. This remote works great on all of them! It even shows the info on Satellite.
This remote is great for RCA products...........2004-01-18
I bought this remote as a replacement for one I broke. I have a Proscan television. Proscan is a company affiliated with RCA. This remote works great. There are a few extra buttons I rarely use, but I don't mind. This remote even works with my JVC boom box. I can't do as many things as I can with original JVC remote, but I can at least play CDs. You should really only buy this remote if you own RCA products. If need a remote for any other of the major brands, buy a more generic remote.
Guide / Info buttons only work with DSS/Dish Network SAT.......2002-04-28
Attention digital cable subscribers, steer clear of this one. While it has buttons for guide and info, they only work when you are in "Dish" mode. The light doesn't even flash on this remote when you are in cable mode for these buttons! Ludicris! Luckily I bought mine from best buy, so I didn't have to pay shipping to send it back. :( Plus, it's large and ugly... 'Nuff said!
