I bought it, and it worked well with my Panasonic VCR, Sony DVD, Sony TV and RCA Satellite System, but it doesn't support my AIWA A/V Receiver, which means that I lost my money, because I still need the Receiver's original R.C. to control the volume and the sound system functions...

Had a universal that controlled the basics of my system, but wanted one that could do more with my Denon receiver. The package and materials indicated this was the remote for me. No problems with my JVC TV and JVC VCR, but not only would it not do more with my receiver, it did nothing with it except power it on and off. No volume, no input switching, no speaker adjustments, no surround mode changing. In fact, it did less than the one I already had.

There are much better remotes on the market. I mistakenly purchased this one because of it's claimed functions and it's price tag. It does a poor job of controlling any newer components and seems to be suited for OLD electronics without menu's or navigation controls, and if you have a Dolby Digital Reciever... forget about it... BAD

Some function work and some don't. On control of TV cannel up and down as well as volume up and down work ok but the control of menu of color increase or any other function worked to incease but would not allow decrease. I have another unit to access the function this one doesn't work and between the to controls I am able to operate. In other words the R- function of the controler does not work.

Product worked great except it would not control my cable box (General Instruments - digital cable) I called the support phone and once they answered they told me it would not work on my cable box, but I could return it. For the price it wasn't worth returning it. This makes it useless for me.

If it would have controlled everything it is a very nice unit and very easy to use. The backlit pad is nice and it is comfortable to hold. Lots of nice features too.
