Sony RM-V310 Universal Remote Control Reviews
. This would have save them the cost of needing a dedicated "off" button-Actually, it might be a "regular view" button-well, they did save the cost of not having it on this remote and screwing those of us that need this button. My biggest complaint is the twinview button. Maybe if I unplugged it and let it sit for awhile. Luckily I have the original remote, otherwise there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off the twinview without it.
I tried going into the menu and looked for a reset function, nope. They could have made a twinview on/off toggle button rather than having a dedicated off button on the original remote. I tried turning off the tv to get rid of twinview, nope. It will get me into that mode, but there is no button to switch it off. So,my best option is to get a remote that has a learning/programable feature so that I can waste a button to make a dedicated button to button off the twinview button. Sony's implementation is terrible.
Wouldn't even power them on/off. all of which were listed in the code number listing for this remote. I have all name brand electronics. I ended up getting a philips remote for much less that controlled all of them with no problem at all. Panasonic plasma TV, Panasonic audio receiver, Philips DVD Player, and Scientific Atlanta digital cable box. This remote wouldn't operate a single function on ANY of them. Before you go assuming I just don't know what I'm doing, I've programmed several such remotes, and done extensive work with home, car, and office electronics.
It doesn't work. If you are using a Comcast cable box, forget this product.
I still have to use 2 remote controls. There was no code available for any satellite receiver/DVR combo. I thought I could use it for my Direct TV/TIVO satellite receiver/DVR combo. Had I known, I would not have purchased this remote. I purchased this remote to replace my lost Sony DVD remote control and to consolidate all my remote controls to one. It works with my DVD player and Sharp TV.
Not only can it not program my VCR, it would not even allow me to change channels by entering the channel number. This may work OK for some brands, but not for my major brand components. I tried all suggested codes for my devices, and went through the instructions exhaustively, but nothing helped. You can do much better with practically any other cheap remote. I had to go through each one. It would do some things, but not other more important ones. It suggests it can do much more than it can.
The only thing it worked well for was its own brand, Sony. I have had a number of multi-brand remotes, some even cheaper than this one, and this is the worst. Control of my audio components was horrible. Also, there is no backlighting.
