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.

A Great Remote for the price.......2007-12-02
This is actually my second remote of this model type. I had to buy a second one because my parrot ate all the buttons off the old one. It runs all my devices flawlessly, including my old Zenith TV that is over 16 years old. It's easy to program and operate. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone in the market for a new multifunction remote.

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.

When it worked, it was great........2007-08-31
This item shorted out after three months of use. Which is unfortunate, because it's a good remote.
Only one problem and one annoyance........2007-01-02
I love this remote. I have not had any trouble with the battery compartment and it controls everything I own, which is only 2 VCRs, a TV, and a DVD player. My DVD player is a Symphonic, which is not listed in the models of players this controller supports, but we did an auto code search and it found a code that worked. It took quite a bit of time, but it was definitely worth it for us. The one problem is we have an Orion VCR that it will NOT bring up the Menu for, so we have to keep the old remote handy to set the times, channels, programming, etc. Our other VCR is an Emerson and the remote does the menu for that, the TV, and the DVD player. The annoyance is how you have to set up the VCRs and that our TV is a RCA. There is one "VCR" button on the remote and a couple of "AUX" buttons for anything. The Emerson VCR is on the "AUX1" button and is set-up to work on TV channel 91. The other VCR is on the "VCR" button and on TV channel 3. Whenever we want the Emerson VCR we have to set the TV to channel 91 and turn the remote into something (the chair, our chest, etc.) to select that VCR without the TV automatically turning to channel 3. I don't know if this is just a problem since our TV and the remote are both RCAs, but, since "AUX1" is a VCR, it assumes it is set-up on channel 3. We haven't figured out if there is a way for the remote to unlearn this, but we haven't called their customer service, either. All-in-all, a very worthwhile buy if you have several different things you want to control with 1 remote. I would buy it again knowing the problems we've had as the price was right and it does work to our satisfaction.
Controls Everything I Own.......2006-11-24
I've had one of these remotes for about a year now and I'm going to be buying another one soon for another room.
Everything I own is already programmed in, however, the learning ability can make up for any shortcomings. Macros are fantastic for powering everything on and off with the press of a button or two. The keys light up with the press of a button, so in a dark room, I have no problems. This controls my TiVo and my DirecTV DVR (HR20) perfectly. The layout of the buttons are excellent.
An odd thing to say, but true is that this remote fits very comfortably in my hand. Without a doubt, this is the best shape for a remote I've ever used.
Since another review stated a problem with the battery cover, I thought that I would say mine has never accidently popped off. It requires a good push on the plastic lock to remove the cover. No way is this going to just open without any effort.
I have not ran into any memory problems either, so I cannot complain about whatever memory it does have available.
Nice remote spoiled by lousy battery cover.......2006-02-12
This remote has a very nice layout and a good code database. It could learn from several different remotes, but the memory was limited and I did run out of space.
However, the fit and finish are not very good. The battery door comes off way too easily. When it does, the batteries typically come flying out too. That is very annoying when watching a movie!
So, I'm returning it and will continue my search.

easy to use.......2007-06-01
It was easy to set up and program to use with tv.
Not the keyboard you are used to........2006-08-25
I needed a replacement keyboard for my webTV. I ordered this one because like it would be more comfortable to hold. It is not! It is big and bulky, and my hands actually get sore from it. While it works as it should. There are many buttons moved around and a lot missing all together. There are no "F" keys....instead there are a lot of keys on top that don't do anything for the web tv. Also, I don't know if this is just on the one I got or not, but the keys stick and will not type 2 letters or numbers that are the same in a row. The seller I got this from was great...fast shipping. But unless you are desperate for a replacement kb for your webtv....go with the regular one. Now I am going to order the regular one now and keep this one as a spare.
It's Great.......2003-06-30
I have two different webtv plus receivers. The first purchased in 1999 and the second in 2001.This is the first keyboard that I have found that is compatible with both of my receivers. I especially like the three different colored keys, making it easier for me to avoid errors, especially when hurrying to finish an email.The keys do not become as uncooperative (sticky, just don't always print) as the key boards did that came with the two receivers I have. I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone seaching for a webtv plus keyboard.
It's Better Than I Thought.......2002-03-13
On an earlier review, I stated that you could not get PinP, (picture in picture), with this unit. It states in the manual that PinP is not provided, but you can get it. Press the CMD button and the W button together, for PinP. then press CMD and M together to change the position of the PinP. After realizing this, I'd have to say that I like this keyboard the best, of the different Webtv compatable keyboards. This is really comfortable, when you have to use the keyboard for long periods.

Do not buy.......2007-03-26
Difficult. Couldn't program it to work with my dvd player. buttons are hard and you cant just hold it to change channels. you have to press it every time. it is ridiculous!
It works!.......2007-01-10
What can I say. The order arrived on time as promised and it works! Amazon delivered ... again.
Good cheap remote.......2006-12-27
It works great with my TV. If you have an RCA TV there is no setup you just point it at the TV and it works. Everything works as described.
No More Panics When You Lose Your 4 Remotes.......2006-05-29
I'm one of the few vitims that has 5 remotes laying around. I have a DVD player, VCR, and DishNetwork all hooked up to the TV. I have to keep all of them because the Dish people forgot to set up all of my stuff. I looked up the remote online and the codes only worked for the Sanyo VCR/DVD combo and only the VCR part. So when I was picking up a few fold-up chairs at Big Lots when I looked through the electroncis selection I found a little selection of RCA remotes. There were only two that were universal. One was $6 thahad 3 universal functions but it was loaded with tons of features that are probably found on only the remotes that come with your TV or VCR or DVD player. But I also had Dish, which means I needed a 4 component remote when I found the RCU404. IT's not a feature-full remote but at least it had the basics and hooked up to everything I needed. It had a list on the back that said these and more. Sanyo were listed in the DVD and VCR section but no Memorex was in the TV section but it said AND MORE...and Memorex isn't that small of a brand and when I open the package at home and looked at the codes...oh wow...it works for Memorex.
I'm glad I no longer have to carry around Sanyo, Memorex, and DishNetwork remotes seperately. Now I only have one. The RCU404 is a pretty good remote. It's not feature loaded and it's kinda small for most people but it works with almost anything, is a very inexpensive replacement, and is easy to use. Plus, it has a strong warranty. The RCU404 is a good general replacement for any universal remote or getting rid of that four remote rack on your TV stand (don't be ashamed, more people should use them if they have that many).
Perfect and Cheap.......2006-02-18
This remote is great. I needed something simple and cheap for my kitchen TV which didn't have a remote. This worked perfectly. It is easy to program, and also has VCR/DVD buttons to program. If you need something cheap but easy to use, this is your choice right here!

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.
